Hi Reader,
Are you sick and tired of everyone around you talking about their New Year’s resolutions?
Or seeing endless articles on your feed and in your inbox?
Same.
Every January we’re told this is the moment to fix everything.
Eat better.
Move more.
Sleep more.
Stress less.
Drink more water.
Cook every meal.
Never touch sugar again.
No pressure or anything. 🙄
Here’s the thing most resolution talk gets wrong . . .
Humans don’t actually change well by flipping every switch at once.
When we try to overhaul everything, one of two things usually happens:
- We get overwhelmed and stall out.
- We go hard for a few weeks . . . then quietly drift back to old habits and feel like we “failed.”
It’s not a willpower problem.
It’s a strategy problem.
Real change tends to work more like this:
One small step.
Then another.
Then another.
Not because we’re lazy or unmotivated - heck no! Because our brains and bodies like stability.
They like patterns.
They like progress that feels doable.
Think about it - if you tried to renovate your entire house in one weekend, you wouldn’t call that “ambitious.”
You’d call it unrealistic.
Well . . . health habits are really no different, right?
The people who actually feel better, stronger, more confident, and more at ease around food?
They usually didn’t do it by declaring a brand-new identity on January 1st.
They did it by stacking small, repeatable changes over time.
And yes . . . sometimes having a little support makes that process a whole lot easier.
Not because you “can’t do it yourself,”
but because having someone help you see the next right step, troubleshoot the messy parts, and remind you that progress counts even when it’s imperfect . . . is kind of amazing.
So if resolutions already feel exhausting this year, here’s your permission slip:
You don’t need a total reset.
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You don’t need to change everything at once.
You just need a starting point that feels manageable.
So tell me, what's your starting point? How will you take that very first step?
Hit reply and let me know.
It should be small . . . not big! and most importantly, it should feel doable.
Remember, no matter what that one step is, all it takes is one step to move forward.
Talk soon,
Kate
