How to Make Resolutions That Actually Stick (P1 Style)
Most New Year’s resolutions fail not because people don’t care — but because they’re built on fantasy plans instead of real life. Real change comes from habits that fit into your everyday routine, not big, sudden overhauls.
✅ 1. Start Small, Win Big
Don’t try to change everything at once. Pick one small habit you can actually do, like showing up three times a week or doing a short session after work. Small wins build confidence and momentum.
✅ 2. Make It Easy
Set yourself up to succeed: pack your gym bag the night before, schedule training into your calendar, remove obstacles that slow you down. If it’s easy to start, you’re much more likely to keep going.
✅ 3. Reward Progress
Celebrate the wins — even the small ones. Positive reinforcement makes habits stick faster and keeps motivation high.
✅ 4. Be Consistent Over Perfect
Progress isn’t about perfect workouts every time — it’s about turning up regularly. Consistency builds identity, and identity drives long-term change.
✅ 5. Fit Change to You
Build your habits around who you are, not who you think you should be. If mornings don’t work, train after work. If running isn’t for you, lift, row, swim or do whatever you enjoy.
✅ 6. Set Process Goals
Chasing outcomes like “lose 20 lbs” can feel overwhelming. Instead, focus on actions you control: “I will train three times a week.” That keeps you focused on what actually matters.
✅ 7. Get Support
Change is easier with accountability. People who train with support — a coach or a community — are much more likely to stick with their goals. That’s exactly why P1’s coaching works so well: you get expert guidance, personalised planning, and friendly accountability.
Bottom line:
Don’t chase a “new you.” Build habits that fit your life, stay consistent, and enjoy the process — that’s how lasting results happen.
