Episode notes
Resolutions Are Ancient Rituals
- New Year's resolutions are an ancient ritual used to reflect and project across cultures and eras.
- The tradition mixes moral correction with social signaling rather than purely personal transformation.
Youth, Churn, And Optimism Fuel Resolutions
- Younger adults make resolutions more often because their lives have more churn and opportunities for change.
- Optimism bias fuels early-life resolutions but tends to fade as experience accumulates.
Check Motivation Before Committing
- Ask why you want to change and whether the motivation comes from self-love or fear of others' acceptance.
- Choose goals rooted in self-connection rather than punishment to sustain lasting change.
