  • You’re Setting Goals That Quietly Work Against You

    You’re Setting Goals That Quietly Work Against You
    Feb 9 2026
    Dr. K breaks down the science of why 80% of New Year's resolutions fail and how to use behavioral research to make changes stick. He explains why common strategies like accountability partners can backfire and how to move from simply wanting a change to being ready to achieve it. • The Accountability Trap: Outsourcing responsibility to a partner often leads to shared failure rather than sustained personal growth. • The 14-Failure Rule: Data shows that people who successfully change for two years fail an average of 14 times along the way. • Preparation Over Desire: Simply wanting a change has no bearing on success; you must be prepared and ready for the cost of change. • Build Self-Efficacy: Setting specific, attainable "SMART" goals proves to your mind that you are actually capable of succeeding. • Choose Approach Goals: Moving toward a positive reward is more sustainable than just trying to move away from a negative state.

    Your Problems Aren't A Personality
    Feb 7 2026
    Dr. K explores how turning suffering into an identity prevents growth and why relying on willpower often leads to burnout. He shares practical tools to find internal motivation and master difficult social interactions. • The Identity Trap: Building your personality around your problems makes recovery feel like a betrayal of yourself. • The Willpower Paradox: Forcing yourself to do things is an independent risk factor for future stagnation and action crises. • Social S-Tier Moves: Use specific communication hacks to handle criticism and accept compliments without feeling defensive. • The Science of Cheating: Many students use AI because modern systems reward grades and efficiency over actual deep learning. • Action vs. State: Successful people focus on doing the work rather than chasing a specific emotional state or feelingHG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Procrastination Holds You Back

    Procrastination Holds You Back
    Feb 2 2026
    Dr. K moves past complicated neuroscientific explanations to explain that procrastination is actually a manipulation by a primitive mind. He describes the mind as a "feral animal" that exists outside of your true self, constantly generating "false procrastination" to keep you from doing the work that matters. What to expect in this episode: • Your Mind is Not You: Learning to see the mind as activity rather than an object, allowing you to create the distance necessary to stop listening to its excuses. • The Boredom Scam: How the mind uses feelings of boredom and the thought that an action is "not enough" to trick you into returning to effortless activities like scrolling. • Training through Futility: Why doing "foolish" or "futile" actions—like meditation or raw-dogging existence—is the only way to prove to your mind that you are actually in chargeHG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3SztHG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.
