Falling Behind On Your New Year’s Goals? Here’s How to Reset and Stay Consistent
Be honest — are you already off track with the goals you set earlier this year?
If so, you’re not alone. Studies show that most people lose momentum on their New Year’s resolutions within the first few weeks. But here’s the good news: the problem isn’t you — it’s your strategy.
Success isn’t about setting perfect goals; it’s about building the right habits, adjusting when needed, and staying committed even when motivation fades.
If you feel like you’re falling behind on your goals, don’t give up — reset. These five proven strategies will help you regain momentum for your goals and stay consistent with the follow-through needed to achieve them for the rest of the year.
1. Reconnect with Your Long-Term Vision
Short-term goals can feel overwhelming, especially when life gets busy. Instead of focusing on what hasn’t gone right this year, zoom out and remind yourself why these goals matter.
Ask yourself:
- Where do I want to be in 10 years?
- How does this goal help me get there?
- What will my future self thank me for?
A strong vision fuels discipline. When you have a compelling reason to stay on track, showing up becomes non-negotiable.
Action Step: Write down your 10-year vision and place it somewhere visible — on your desk, in your planner, or as your phone background. If you need help writing your long-term vision, click here to download my Vision Prompts.
2. Reflect, Adjust, and Keep Moving
Too often, people quit on their goals because they think setbacks mean failure. Fun fact? They don’t. Setbacks can be used as data to analyze what is working versus what isn’t working.
For example, when something doesn’t go your way, instead of beating yourself up, ask yourself:
- What habits have helped you move forward?
- What obstacles have slowed you down?
- What small changes would make success easier?
Adjust, refine, and keep going. The only way to fail is to stop trying.
Action Step: Spend 10 minutes journaling about your progress this year so far. Identify one small tweak that will make it easier to follow through moving forward.
3. Make Your Goals More Specific (and Exciting)
Vague goals lead to vague results. If your goal feels uninspiring or unclear, reframe it into something more specific and motivating.
For example, instead of saying: “I want to grow my business.”
Try: “I will increase revenue by 20% this quarter through launching a client referral program.”
Clear, measurable goals make action steps obvious — and give you a built-in way to track progress.
Action Step: Rewrite one of your goals to be more specific, measurable, and exciting. If it doesn’t motivate you, tweak it until it does.
4. Build a Routine That Works for You
Consistency beats motivation every single time. The most successful people don’t rely on willpower — they build routines that make progress automatic.
If you’re struggling to stay on track, ask yourself:
- When am I most productive?
- What distractions can I eliminate?
- How can I make progress easier and more sustainable?
Small, daily actions add up. The key is to create a system that makes success feel natural — not forced.
Action Step: Block out dedicated time in your calendar this week to focus on your goals. Treat it like a meeting with your future success. And if you’re looking for one aspect of your daily routine to revamp, start with the mornings.
5. Find Accountability and Support
No one achieves big goals alone. If you’re serious about staying on track, find an accountability partner, mentor, or coach who will challenge you to stay committed — even when you don’t feel like it.
Accountability isn’t about pressure — it’s about support. When someone else is expecting you to follow through, you’re far more likely to take action.
Action Step: Share your goal with someone who will hold you accountable. Better yet, schedule a check-in with them right now. If you’re having a hard time thinking of someone in your current network who could hold you accountable, it might be time to consider partnering with a coach.
