New Year, New Habits: Small Changes That Actually Stick

Every January, big resolutions take over - only to fade a few weeks later. The issue isn't motivation. It's

expecting change to happen all at once.

Lasting habits are built through small, intentional actions that fit naturally into everyday life.

Why Small Habits Work

Big goals can feel overhwlming. Small habits are easier to start, easier to repeat, and easier to maintain.

Consistency - not perfection - is what creates real change.

Focus on One Change

Trying to improve everything at once often leads to burnout. Choose one habit, build consistency, and then

add more over time.

Make It Easy

Lower the barrier to entry. Five minutes of movement, one page of reading, or a quick daily reset is enough

to keep momentum going.

Build on What You Already Do

Attach new habits to existing routines - like stretching while your coffee brews or planning your day when

you open your laptop. This makes habits feel automatic.

Expect Imperfection

Missing a day doesn't mean failure. The goal is to return quickly and keep going. Progess happens through

repetition, not streaks.

Sustainable Change Wins

This year, focus on heabits you can maintain year-round. Small steps, done consistently, create the biggest impact.
