The "No Resolution" New Year: Why Waiting for January 1st is a Trap | Ep. 354
Why do we wait for a specific date on the calendar to change our lives?
In Episode 354 of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies challenge the traditional concept of New Year's Resolutions. With statistics showing most resolutions fail within three weeks, we discuss a better approach: The "No Resolution" New Year.
We dive deep into the psychology of procrastination and why waiting for January 1st is actually a lack of confidence. Instead of a "clean slate" once a year, we talk about changing your attitude in seconds and controlling the "controllables" (what you eat, what you think, and who you hang out with).
This episode focuses heavily on the "Rule of 5"—the idea that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. If your circle is full of "Crabs in a Bucket" (people who pull you down when you try to climb out), 2026 will look exactly like 2025. It's time to audit your circle, ignore the haters who only show up when you succeed, and make the decision to change today.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
-
The 3-Week Trap: Why 90% of New Year's resolutions are dead by January 21st.
-
Control Your Controllables: You can't control the President or the weather, but you can control your sugar intake and your words.
