Who You’ll Be This Year: Values, Goals, and a Different Kind of Resolution

In this New Year’s episode, Dr. Rick and Forrest make the case that most resolutions fail because they focus on outcomes and behaviors rather than key values. They explore how to identify important values, embrace caring about them, and let them change behavior. Forrest talks about differentiating authentic values from “conditions of worth,” and Dr. Rick shares ways to get more in touch with what matters. Topics include translating “shoulds” into values, experiencing more autonomy and agency, creating personal narratives, and finding your stance toward the year.
