Episode notes

I think the one of the really big things that are that it's a downside to the way that we approach resolutions is that we do it as this all or nothing thing. And so what a friend of mine said, I'm like, Oh man, I just want to eat like granola and kale is like, do this. Just eat healthy breakfast for like a week. Then like lunch and dinner, do what you can. And then like, again, like shift down to now it's breakfast lunch. Now it's breakfast, lunch dinner,. You know, ease into it because, you know, we look at our friends on Facebook and we were all we're seeing is a highlight

This week I'm excited to re-share an episode I recorded almost two years ago with Ryan McRae. Ryan has had ADHD all of his life, but he wasn’t going to let it slow him down. He has worked hard to figure out how to take all the benefits and cancel out all the drawbacks of this condition that many people only associate with young people yet affects millions of adults as well. Ryan has been on the show previously to talk about ADHD, but in this conversation he and Erik talk about Setting resolutions and sticking to them.

With the new year upon us many people are either setting or recommitting to resolutions for 2023. Though this practice is by no means unhealthy or unproductive, the act of setting resolutions can at times be demoralizing, resulting in more harm than good. In this hour Ryan and Erik talk about the power of setting realistic resolutions and how having grace and patience with yourself along the road of resolutions can result in more long-term and sustainable practices that will go far beyond 2023.
