Maybe you started the new year with big resolutions. Maybe you didnât. Either wayâitâs okay. Because hereâs the truth: resolutions alone donât create lasting change.
Change happens when you focus on your habitsâthe small, consistent actions you take without even thinking. The things you do daily that shape your behaviors.
Instead of overhauling your entire life at once, start small. Focus on building one habit at a time. Nail that, then layer on another. This is what we call habit stacking.
Hereâs how you can start changing behaviors by building habits:
âď¸ Set the bar low: Start with something so small itâs impossible to fail (e.g., drink one glass of water before coffee each morning or park 5 minutes away from work and walk the last stretch).
âď¸ Anchor your habit: Attach the new habit to something you already do (e.g., while the kettle boils, prepare snacks for tomorrow).
âď¸ Be consistent: Show up daily, even when you donât feel like it. Progress beats perfection. Better yet, find a coach to hold you accountableâor, second best, a friend.
âď¸ Track it: Use a journal, app, or calendar to tick off each successful day. Seeing the streak will keep you motivated.
âď¸ Celebrate small wins: Every step forward is progress. Acknowledge and reward yourself for sticking with it.
Why habits?
Habits arenât about short-term resultsâtheyâre about building a lifestyle you can sustain. No crash diets, no punishing workouts. Just steady, sustainable, compounding progress toward a healthier, stronger you.
đ So, if youâve already fallen off track with a resolutionâdonât sweat it. Shift your focus to building one simple habit today.
Whatâs one habit youâre going to focus on this month? Let me know in the commentsâIâd love to help you get started!
