  Speaker 2: Year's Eve yet. I know.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Do Year's resolutions?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, do you do them? I every year, right,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: we have the discussion do we do them? Do we
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: not do them? Do we do them?

  Speaker 3: There's a professor of psychology Cobby. His name is Benjamin Gardner,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: and this is what he suggests for New Year's resolutions.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: A soft launch. You've heard about store openings that way
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: and businesses they open the door, but they haven't made
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: the big announcement that we're open. Kind of let people
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: discover them. He wants you to do the same thing
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: with resolutions. This is he advises you do a little
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: trial and error.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Like what are your resolutions?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Try them out a little bit, now, see if that's
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: going to work for you or maybe it's not. He said,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: it'll take some of the pressure off the small steps
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: to success. He said, help you build up to those
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: bigger challenges and then there's not that all or nothing
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: thing that happens.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It makes sense, yeah, because if you're kind of soft
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: launching it, like say today, and let's say you pick
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: four resolutions and you find a few dropped off, you're
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: not feeling guilty, but there might be that one that's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: kind of sticking.

• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I like this.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: So it also allows for mental space. You can focus
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: on changes before the end of the year and around
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the holidays, and then you know, you get back to
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: that big time in the new year. Right now, you
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: know like I can handle this. I can handle that.
• 1:44

• 1:45
  Speaker 2: up and tackle. Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you do resolutions at all? I know you've
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: talked about this. I don't remember, but I think I
