STOP SAYING YOUR GOALS OUT LOUD 

Start any moment you want. Not with the start of the new year.

I've noticed this, and stopped years ago.

I'm so proud of me. I've already started completing my goals and no one knows about them.

the level of sass mitch is giving us in this video is better than any validation

Ok, then my goal is to stop saying my goals out loud. Damn it... EDIT: WOW, I REALLY DIDN'T EXPECT THIS MANY LIKES! HOLY CRAP!!! And this probably seems ridiculous but, it's my birthday too! This was an amazing gift, thank you sooo much!

So because I've said them out loud then I won't complete them? Challenge accepted, Mitch. Challenge accepted.

Can’t drop your resolutions if you don’t write any :’ )

Stop having new years goals at all instead of waiting for a new year to achieve your goals just do it nowwwwwwww

Omg his voice changed when he said that😂 2:38

OMG I was just thinking the same thing about Tyler Oakley lol When did he get jacked?

Broscience. If you want do it, just do

This is actually really accurate for my life...oops

I don't make resolutions I just do it.

But I think if you tell people, you're also making that pressure on yourself to actually go through with it rather than being like 'Im probably gonna do this' to yourself. This can backfire with pressuring yourself too much so you don't feel like a failure. I don't know but the resolutions I've achieved in the past came from me knowing it was something I'd be motivated to do, and start putting steps in place from the getgo to get it done. Things that were more vague or I knew would be too difficult to actually achieve didn't get done.

I've learned that I accomplish the most when I don't set any goals. I got out of bed this morning? Way to go! I didn't kill anyone today? Gold star for me!

Nah, the pressure of not being truthful to your word is bigger than that "bad side" to me. It works for me to have told someone else that I'd do something.

THIS YEAR I WILL STOP SAYING MY NEW YEARS GOALS OUTLOUD

Sometimes our brain sounds like a badly written reward based AI ... :-/

I hope my resolution is 4k

THANK YOU! I spent a few years making vocal New Years' Resolutions - and without fail I found that, every single time, I only succeeded in achieving the OPPOSITE of my goal! So I stopped doing it, and now I find I'm much better at achieving the things I'd been wanting to anyway, on the down-low, simply by NOT turning into my Mission For The Year.

I told my goal to my family and proving them that I can fulfill them is what policies me

Greg and Mitch is back!

I think the opposite is true. No one congratulated me on my goals, they’re like “suuure, right” and then it becomes a huge motivation to prove them wrong. If I kept it to myself I wouldn’t have that motivation to achieve the goal and I could as well quit without any consequences.

Oh shit this happens to me too often, I didnt know there was a scientific explanation for it... 😂

Great video! Please revive this channel I can't get enough of you guys!!!💞💖💝

This has me conflicted! It's really interesting & I've never heard of the 'Intention behaviour gap' before. I'm so used to being told to set goals & tell as many people as possible (presumably so they'll hold you accountable) but this way makes more sense to me personally. Thanks for sharing - especially at this time of year!

I hope there will be more of such videos. I miss them!))

My resolutions are private so I don’t share them anyway but this is really interesting

Thank you for this explanation! This is what I've been looking for and simply didn't know what to search LOL!

Fantastic idea for a video, and great presentation. Keep doing great work guys!

100% agree, as much as I want to say it out loud, I try as hard as I can to keep the serious goals in my head

I want to hug him 🙂

I respectfully disagree, i was a skinny dude and 2 month ago i decided to bulk up and told everyone imma do it, i gained 10 kilos of mostly muscle so far, and a big motivation for me was that i didn't want anyone to think i make empty promises, i wanted to impress them a lil bit, i think it'd ve been easier to give up if hadn't told anyone.

Thank you for this.

This is really useful ! I'm glad I know this now

I noticed this to this is crazy! I wasn't telling any of my goals this year for this reason and didn't even know why!

One of my favorite posts is when yall watchin over Niel GT at the museum

Thanks, i needed this

I completely gave up on doing resolutions. Mainly because I had to write my resolutions in school so.

this is extremely helpful! thank you!

I decided that I wasnt going to tell anyone about my new year goal of learning the guitar and now I'm super excited to learn it and then surprise everyone in a year when I just bust out playing lol

Omg i needed this..

Very smart point!

I learned this in high school and never forgot it, I just forgot to actually apply it. But that’s life and we’re here now lol!!

I love this vlog style format! I love the AsapSCIENCE videos but this feels more candid and relatable in comparison!

Thk !!!!! I wanted to know why this happen a long time ago!! Goodyear!!

I thought saying it to others makes you more likely to do it as it's not just you that knows that you want to achieve x and as a result you feel a little more pressured into following through

i've noticed that too, telling people my goals makes me lazy to accomplish my goals

I couldn’t stop looking at the circle reflecting off your eyes

Love that you put a clip from BBCAN in here.

I noticed it this year!!! I’m keeping it to myself. It’ll be my own self-improvement secret.... mwuahahahahaha

Stop saying it out loud, write it here and check back at the end of the year to see how much you missed it by

perfect timing in a scary way ♥ I love you and good luck♥

You should’ve made this before New Years. I hit a blunt 3 hours into my resolution. Will try again next year

Ahaha! Uploading a video once a year is not bad! XD I'm going to subscribe to that

This video needs more science Should we make an experiment? LOVE THAT!Melting lipsticks

thanks for the info

That photo shop worked to perfection

✨ shifts uncomfortably knowing I've just posted a video about my goals for this year ✨

Thank you

I realized it long ago but I can't stop saying others because it's too rewarding 😣

I don't make new year's resolution anymore, one day I heard superwoman saying something that changed my opinion drastically 😱 and I totally agreed with her.

A bit late- my family, friends and that guy from kfc now knows that I want to stop eating trash. 😬😬 Always next year?

I've got a few more tips... One is to turn your goals into actionable plans, turning it from "I will read more books this year" to, "I will read 10 pages of a book per day", from "I will lose weight this year" to "I will go to the gym 1 hour every morning". Another tip is to seek accountability, basically just tell one of your friends/family members about your goal/s and pay a price to them whenever you fail to achieve your goal. If you plan to read 10 pages of a book per day, then you should pay $5 to your friend whenever you fail to read 10 pages. Make sure to practice self-discipline and never rely solely on your motivation. Have a great year, remember, you can create new goals and act on them any time of the year, just do it!

Thanks bruh :)

I think this is somewhat true but also the real problem behind resolutions is that people don't set realistic goals or thoughtfully outline the steps towards reaching those goals. They set themselves up for failure pretty much.

Lol is anyone in love with Mitch he is totally the cutest person ever

I love all of your chanel ❤

1:05 "As soon as Ricky says good job-" Sis literally went ______👑_____ ✨︶👄︶💅🏻 While saying that PERIOD

I've actually read a report about the exact opposite (just not about resolutions but goals in general): If you tell people about your goal, it becomes more real and the more people who know about your intentions, the more you are inclined to follow through. 🤷

Accurate 100%

Happy New Year everybody

this is pretty accurate cuz my last resolution was to drink only water and that lasted for about 8 months 👍🏽 and I never told anyone

Ok literally for the last few months I've been trying to get in better shape, so I started doing just basic, small workouts at home, and then one of my friends brought up that she wanted to start working out together, so I told her that I had been for the last few weeks. I stopped almost right after that, and I'm only just getting back into it.

I actually noticed this too and it's super interesting! This is why I'm not doing it anymore 😅

People can keep you up to the goal goals and force you to and check up with on your goal

Except if you are using it (telling your resolutions to one or two people) as a way to ensure that you stick to those resolutions (because you wouldnt want to let your friends down, or embarrass yourself) It all depends on the intent.

That's very interested.

Thanks.

I have felt something get less indeed after i said some stuff but if you never say it you never practice it either.. so its a balancing matter i think.

Thnks dude

I lived that through a lot.

I noticed a little while ago that I sometimes do this, and its the same type of thing, but I try not to tell somebody I am going to do something until I actually do it

I hate telling people my goals thanks for enabling

I cant believe mitch is part indian ....i wish he came to india once

I will become Hokage!

If you have good friends, they will make you stick to your resolution. You should tell them and ask them to hold you to that promise.

It is sceintificly proven that telling people you will do something will higher your chance of doing it.

me fowlling my new years resolution never happened

Dont tell me what to do. I speak things into existence.

Can you do a video on vaping vs juuling? Some kids at my school do that and I don't understand the difference. Also are they the same thing?

True, psychology confirms it.

❤️

this year I'm quitting soda again! it feels really good. Just fresh water.

Last time when I told them out loud people said they were stupid so I felt like it didn’t matter so...

💗💗💗

Strange, I always feel like I have to follow through if I tell people. Then again my social circle tends to be pretty doubtful so its less of a reward and more of a well now I have to prove you wrong haha. One year I said I wanted to lose 30 pounds and then did it to spite my mom was who was like "sure you will"

Mitch you are such a beautiful man. I definitely have heart eyes on you😍

I already knew this. But good video anyway👌

If I’m not sharing my resolution, I might as well say I got a shiny Ho-Oh on New Years Day at 1286 encounters. I named it Phoenix.
