Why Your New Year's Resolutions Fail and How to Make Them Stick

Episode Overview

  • Only 8% of New Year's resolutions succeed; avoid giant leaps.
  • Adopt the 'minimum effective dose' for sustainable change.
  • Mentorship and group accountability are crucial for success.
  • Focus on consistent tracking rather than immediate results.
  • Replace all-or-nothing thinking with small, incremental habits.
"Dropping off becomes normalized when we aim for giant leaps instead of meeting ourselves where we're at."
Get ready to be moved by the real-life accounts of Coaches Matt and Jason as they tackle the perennial challenge of New Year's resolutions. Ever wondered why only 8% of resolutions make it past February? This episode unpacks the common pitfalls that lead to a staggering 92% failure rate. You'll learn why the 'pendulum swing' of massive leaps often leads to a crash, and how adopting the 'minimum effective dose' can be a game-changer.
With a sprinkle of humour and a dash of science, the coaches discuss the importance of consistent tracking and how mentorship can be the missing link in your journey to long-lasting change. Forget the all-or-nothing mindset; it's time to embrace small, sustainable habits that accumulate into significant transformations. Whether you're aiming for a dry January or looking to make 2026 your year of change, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you succeed.
