RRR - Resolve, Reset, Rise

As the calendar flips to a brand-new year, the air buzzes with excitement and possibilities.

It’s the perfect time to resolve, reset, and rise to make the coming year even better.

But let’s be honest—how many of last year’s resolutions made it past February?

Research shows that 80% of resolutions fail by February.

This year, let’s do things differently.

In this blog, I’ll guide you through a practical process to set meaningful resolutions and, most importantly, stick to them.

Let’s get on with it:

Step 1: Reflect before you resolve

Take a moment to pause and reflect.

Answer these questions honestly in a journal or in the comments below:

• What went well for me in 2024?

• What challenges did I face, and how did I overcome them?

• What is one lesson I learned last year that I want to carry into 2025?

💡 Actionable Tip: Set a timer for 10 minutes, grab a notebook, and jot down your thoughts. This reflection will help you identify patterns and areas for growth.

Step 2: Choose Goals that Excite you

The best resolutions are aligned with your values and light you up.

Instead of a long list of resolutions, pick a few areas that truly matter to you.

Here’s a quick poll for you to answer (mentally or in the comments):

• Health & Fitness

• Career Growth

• Personal Development

• Relationships

• Financial Stability

• Hobbies & Passion Projects

Which one sparks the most excitement? That’s your focus.

💡 Actionable Tip: Write a resolution for each area that is specific and measurable.

For example:

• Instead of “Get fit,” say, “Exercise for 30 minutes, 3 times a week.”

• Instead of “Save money,” say, “Save Rs. 50,000 by the end of March.”

Step 3: Break It Down into Bite-Sized Steps

Big resolutions often fail because they feel overwhelming.

Break your goal into smaller, actionable steps.

Example:

• Resolution: I want to get fit.

• Steps:

  1. Block time on my calendar for workouts.

  2. Start with 10 to 15-minute sessions in Week 1 and gradually increase.

  3. Show up everyday

💡 Actionable Tip: Use a habit tracker app or create a simple chart to track your progress.

Step 4: Track Progress the Fun Way

Tracking progress makes you 42% more likely to achieve your goals.

Keep it simple and fun:

• Use a habit tracker app or an excel

• Add stickers to a calendar for every day you stick to your resolution.

💡 Actionable Tip: Share your progress with a friend or post updates on social media.

Accountability can be a game-changer!

Step 5: Anticipate Roadblocks

Let’s be real, life happens.

Instead of giving up when challenges arise:

• Identify potential roadblocks (e.g., lack of time, motivation dips).

• Plan a workaround (e.g., “I’ll schedule workouts in the morning before work”).

💡 Actionable Tip: Adopt the “Plan B Mindset.”

If Plan A fails, what’s Plan B?

Example: If you miss your morning workout, take a 10-minute walk after lunch or dinner or find out another way to incorporate that workout in.

Step 6: Reward Your Progress

Motivation thrives on rewards. Celebrate small milestones to stay on track.

Example:

• Goal: Save Rs. 50,000 by March.

• Reward: Treat myself with my favorite book or a show when I hit Rs. 25,000.

💡 Actionable Tip: What will your reward be?

Share it in the comments.

Step 7: Reflect and Adapt

Every month, ask yourself:

• Am I making progress?

• What’s working, and what isn’t?

• Do I need to adjust my approach?

💡 Actionable Tip: Treat setbacks as learning opportunities.

Missing one workout or overspending one month doesn’t mean failure—it’s a chance to recalibrate.

Your 2025 Resolution Game Plan

Here’s your resolution roadmap:

1. Reflect on 2024.

2. Choose few key areas to focus on.

3. Break it down to actionable steps.

4. Track your progress.

5. Plan for roadblocks.

6. Reward progress.

7. Reflect and adapt.

Remember, the goal isn’t to transform your life overnight but to make consistent, meaningful progress.

And if you stumble?

That’s okay—just get back on track.
