January often brings new goals, fresh plans, and big intentions. And while thatâs not a bad thing â most of us do it â before setting the goal, itâs important to get realistic about how youâre going to achieve it.
The ânever miss a Mondayâ mindset? Itâs not one we fully stand behind, hear us out.
For all-or-nothing thinkers, missing Monday can instantly feel like failure⌠even though it isnât. When the week is planned down to the minute, one hiccup can make everything feel off track. Instead, try loosening your grip on the plan.
If your goal is four sessions in a week, you have seven days to make that happen. If Monday doesnât work out, there are still six days left. Miss Tuesday too? Youâve still got five. Progress isnât defined by the day you start.
When your week is locked in like this:
âď¸ Monday
âď¸ Tuesday
âď¸ Thursday
âď¸ Friday
...and Monday gets missed, itâs easy to spiral and write off the rest of the week because you âfailedâ the plan â even though the goal is still completely achievable.
Your goals donât need to be rigid.
They need to be flexible, realistic, and supportive of real life.
