Why do we quit our goals by February? 🛑📉
We’ve all been there. January 1st feels like a fresh start, but by February, the gym sneakers are collecting dust and the old habits are back. It’s not just "laziness"—there is a hidden psychological mechanism at play.
In our latest episode, we sit down with Psychotherapist Sarah Drew, LMHC at McNulty Counseling and Wellness, to uncover why we are often "allergic" to feeling too good. Sarah explains The Thermostat Effect: that internal limit that causes us to self-sabotage the moment we start to level up. 🌡️🧠
We’re diving deep into:✅ Why your "Reptilian Brain" treats growth as a threat. ✅ How to beat the "Negativity Bias" (why bad news sticks like Velcro). ✅ Practical "Phone Hacks" and visual cues to keep your progress steady.
Stop fighting against yourself and start understanding the "why" behind the sabotage.
