Did you know research shows that around 80% of people give up on their New Year’s goals by February?
Often this isn’t because we “lack motivation,” but because we set goals that are way too ambitious when we’re motivated from the New Year energy.
We’re excited, inspired, and hopeful… and then real life shows up with its busyness, stress, and competing priorities.
If you’ve already given up on your goals, now is actually a perfect time to reassess — not a failure.
Ask yourself:
Is there something you want to do this year, or a way you want to feel?
What’s one small step you could take regularly that moves you in that direction?
Rather than attempting a complete habit overhaul, small, consistent changes are far more sustainable in the long term.
Case in point — I set a goal to post daily. I failed massively within the first few weeks of January. Anyone who looked at my posting habits from last year could have predicted that… but I was feeling ambitious.
So here’s the reset:
New goal — I’m going to show up here regularly (2–3 times a week) and prioritise sharing educational content. It’s clearer, more specific, and actually realistic.
Progress over perfection.
Have a wonderful night ✨
