So this tends to be that time of year where there's a whole lot of advice being sought and a whole lot of advice being given for all parts of life.
You know, we're still in the resolution, exciting new year, let's get awesome things done mode.
So we start to consider big decisions and choices and we seek advice.
And so often what we're actually seeking is not advice, but something entirely different, which ends up leading us down the wrong path and making us angry.
That's where we're going in today's good life riff.
And along with that, in our science update, we got some cool new research on how our hearts work and how exercise can actually reverse some pretty bad stuff and exactly what type of exercise we're talking about.
So that's where we're headed in today's good life update.
I'm Jonathan Fields and this is Good Life project, and we are back in the post New Year's resolution haze.
One of the things that I've learned in sort of my past history is that the power of resolutions tends to degrade exponentially as we move further from January 1.
That's why I'm not a huge fan of making them.
Actually, I'm a bigger fan of making daily intentions and taking daily action, committing to a daily practice.
That said, I have a background in the fitness world, if you don't know it.
I actually own two companies in the health and fitness space and then the yoga space.
And it was really interesting to see the stats back when I was in the industry in the fitness world, was that something like twelve to 15% of new membership for the entire year happens.
In the first few weeks of January.
And then it sort of rapidly drops off until you hit May, which is then pre bathing suit season, and then late September when people come back after the summer.
But January is this time where we want to do big things and we want to make big changes in our lives.
We consider lifestyle, health, and very often career and business like making big decisions.
Should I change jobs?
Should I do things like this?
