Last Friday was National Quitter’s Day — the second Friday of January, when studies suggest as many as 80% of New Year’s resolutions are already abandoned.
And if today — Monday, January 12th — feels a little heavier because your momentum slipped over the weekend, here’s the reframe you need:

But motivation is emotional.Consistency is logistical.
When healthy choices feel:

Work stress shows up.Kids get sick.Sleep drops.Schedules tighten.
And the plan that required perfect weeks quietly falls apart.
That’s not weakness.That’s friction.

“What would make this easier to follow through on?”

Support isn’t hype or motivation speeches.
Support looks like:
It’s not about pushing harder.It’s about removing barriers.
Most resolutions fail because they rely on:
What actually works is simpler — and far more effective:
Consistency beats intensity every time.
If your resolution slipped over the weekend, don’t scrap the goal.
Change the system.
