Mastering New Year Transformations: Aligning Goals with Identity
In this episode of 'Master Stress with Dr. S,' the focus is on why most New Year's resolutions fail and how to achieve lasting change by aligning goals with one's identity. Dr. S discusses the science behind successful goal setting, emphasizing the importance of identity shifts over mere behaviour changes. Key frameworks such as 'The Alter Ego Effect' by Todd Herman and 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear are explored. The episode offers a five-step approach to making intentions stick: regulate before redefining goals, ask better questions, create micro-proof of new habits, embody the desired state, and protect one's energy. Dr. S stresses that successful transformation is more about creating safety and congruence within the nervous system than forcing change.
