Episode Details

 **Episode Summary:** Did you know that by the second Friday of January—statistically known as "Quitter's Day"—25% to 30% of people have already abandoned their New Year's resolutions? If you’ve fallen off the wagon, don't panic. You don't have to stay in that statistic. In this episode of the *Living Life Wells Show*, we are diving into why willpower fails and why **Vision** is the fuel you are missing. We discuss how to move beyond basic SMART goals to create daily habits that work, the power of "I... So That..." statements, and how to find the right accountability partner. Whether you are trying to lose weight, reverse a health condition, or just stick to a new habit, today is your day to restart.

**In This Episode, You’ll Learn:** * **The Truth About Quitter’s Day:** Why giving up in mid-January is common, but not inevitable. *

**Vision vs. Goals:** Why you need a "why" before you focus on the numbers. *

**The "I... So That..." Method:** A simple exercise to create positive, present-tense statements that connect your daily actions to your deepest motivations. *

**Visualizing Success:** Practical tips for keeping your vision right in front of your face (literally). *

**Rethinking SMART Goals:** Why a goal without a "How" and "When" is just a wish, and how to break the journey down into manageable chunks. *

**The Power of Community:** How the right accountability partner can make you 80% more likely to succeed.

**Notable Quotes:** > "Your vision is the fuel behind every goal. It's your 'why.' Without a strong vision, goals are really just numbers." > "A goal without a plan is a wish. A goal broken down is a path to success." > "Don't focus on the end. Focus on the first step. Then the next."
