Summary

You say you want to exercise. You have the best of intentions to exercise. But the day goes by, and you still don’t do it. But what’s stopping you? That’s where BJ Fogg’s ability chain comes in. It might be time, routine, physical effort, mental effort, money, or a combination. This week, Catherine and Donald walk you through letting go of ideals and by using the ability chain, help you focus on what you can control and how you can empower yourself to take care of yourself. Plus, Catherine rubs virtual elbows, Donald buys the world’s most expensive coat racks, and the couple reveal a shocking secret about Dr. Fancypants.
