Getting an Abandon New Year's Resolution Back on Track

Totally relatable restarting a broken New Year’s resolution is basically a February tradition. Here are 5 practical, no-guilt tips that actually help you get back on track:

1. Drop the “I failed” story   You didn’t fail—you paused. Resolutions aren’t one-shot deals. Treat this like reopening a tab, not deleting the file.

2. Shrink it to something almost too easy   If your goal was “work out 5x a week,” restart with *one* 10-minute session. Momentum beats motivation every time.

3. Reset the timeline (today > January 1st)   Pick a fresh restart date—today, Monday, or even tomorrow morning. Progress doesn’t care about the calendar.

4. Fix the system, not your willpower   Ask: What made this hard? Too vague? Too time-consuming? Too boring? Adjust the setup so the right choice is the easy one.

5. Track streaks, not perfection   Aim for “mostly consistent,” not flawless. One miss doesn’t break the chain—quitting does.

If you want, tell me what resolution broke and why - I can help you reboot it in a way that actually fits your life this time.

Five Ways to Maximize Your Lunch Hour

A well-spent lunch hour can reset your energy, sharpen your focus, and set you up for a strong afternoon. The key is balancing rest with small actions that boost clarity and momentum. With a little intention, even 30-60 minutes can make your whole afternoon more productive. Step away from your workspace to mentally reset and reduce stress. Eat a balanced meal that provides steady energy rather than a mid-afternoon crash. Take a short walk or stretch to improve circulation and alertness. Review your top priorities for the afternoon to return with direction. Protect the final 5 minutes to transition back calmly instead of rushing. Eating a healthy lunch is important because it refuels your body and mind, helping you maintain steady energy and focus throughout the afternoon. A balanced meal supports better mood, sharper thinking, and more consistent productivity, while also preventing the sluggishness and cravings that come from skipping meals or choosing low-quality foods.
