Every year, millions of people set ambitious New Year’s resolutions—hitting the gym five times a week, cutting out all sugar, quitting social media before bed. Yet, by the end of January, most have already given up.

Why?

In this episode, I dive into the science behind habit formation and explain why big resolutions fail while small, foundational habits create lasting change.

Using insights from neuroscience, I share five essential habits that set you up for long-term success:
✅ Prioritizing sleep
✅ Improving nutrition & hydration
✅ Focusing on daily movement, not just intense workouts
✅ Managing stress before adding new challenges
✅ Regulating screen time & dopamine levels

Instead of setting yourself up for failure with extreme goals, start with one small, sustainable habit and build from there. Progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency.
