129. The Good & Bad of New Year's Resolutions (for Your Health, Marriage & Momentum)
Episode Summary: It's goal-setting season — and we all know most New Year's resolutions don't stick. But it's not because people are lazy. It's because most resolutions are built on guilt, not a game plan. In this episode, Chris and Annie unpack the psychology behind why resolutions work (and why they often don't). Whether you want to lose weight, get consistent with your workouts, or improve your marriage, you'll walk away with clarity and action steps to move forward — not burn out. We cover: The real reason fresh starts feel so motivating Why most goals fail by February The difference between guilt goals and identity-based habits How to create a "Household Health Plan" with your partner The top mindset shifts and micro habits that actually lead to change How to use the SISU mindset to strengthen both your body and your relationship This isn't about becoming someone else in 2026. It's about becoming more of who you were meant to be — one habit at a time. Action Step: Ask yourself these 5 questions before January 1: Who do I want to become? What's the ONE habit that will move the needle? What support do I need? What gets in my way every year? Why will this year be different?
