We're not mindful of life changes, and that's okay. The idea is asking your husband, your spouse, your boss, whoever...They, you know, they're not frustrated with us because we're choosing ourselves over them- that type of thing.
As the new year looms, many of us feel the pressure to make resolutions. But Dr. Fred Riley from 'Counseling On Demand' suggests a different approach. Instead of jumping on the resolution bandwagon, Dr. Riley delves into why these well-intentioned promises often fail. He introduces the concept of 'super-optimism', where we set overly ambitious goals, only to fall short and feel disheartened. Dr.
Riley doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; he offers practical advice on how to set meaningful and achievable goals. He emphasizes the importance of aligning resolutions with your core values and being realistic about what you can accomplish. The episode also touches on common obstacles like life changes and limited resources, offering tips on how to navigate these challenges. Listeners will find this episode particularly helpful if they’ve struggled with keeping resolutions in the past. Dr.
Riley’s insights are not just about making resolutions but about creating lasting change. His compassionate and straightforward style makes complex psychological concepts easy to understand and apply in everyday life. Whether you're aiming to cut down on alcohol, improve your mental health, or just set better goals, this episode is a must-listen.
