TOPIC: Those New Years When We're Not Actually Resolved.
This week, Merlin and Dan step back from resolutions and shooting yourself in the face with a wrist rocket to talk about what you're actually trying to change.
You're failing and feeling bad and eating a whole bag of cookies because you're resolving to be someone you're not (yet). What are you really trying to address? Are you being honest with yourself? Where do you actually start?
Find the real reasons, build a real infrastructure, and build yourself a real habit.
