Mastering Life's Flow: Embracing Desire, Presence, and Purpose | EVERYDAY HEROES with Gary Mahler

Why New Year's Resolutions FAIL & How We Can Be SUCCESSFUL

In this concluding episode of the Elevate Up podcast, host and leadership coach Steve Seay announces the merging of his podcast with the Leadership Rising podcast to create a new show, with friend and colleague Jim Urban, called 'The Sherpa and the Shrink'. Steve defines a Sherpa as a guide helping others through complex situations and transitions into discussing the common pitfalls of New Year's resolutions. He identifies three primary reasons resolutions often fail: lack of specificity and clarity, an all-or-nothing mindset, and no system for follow-through. For better clarity, he recommends using SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound), emphasizing that goals should be 50% realistic and relatable. Steve then stresses the importance of identity-based goals, proposing a shift from outcome-focused to identity-focused resolutions, such as seeing oneself as a disciplined person rather than just aiming to run a marathon. He also discourages an all-or-nothing mindset, advocating for progress over perfection and smaller, more manageable milestones. The final key point is creating a system for follow-through to overcome the limitations of willpower. He suggests clearly defined behaviors in specific contexts, building accountability through regular check-ins, and using habit stacking to integrate new habits into existing routines. The episode closes with actionable takeaways, encouraging listeners to write down one SMART goal and to reflect on the type of person they want to become. Steve invites the audience to share their goals on social media and subscribe to his new YouTube channel, 'The Sherpa's Playbook,' for further insights.
