1. Set Goals Around How You Want to Feel

Instead of focusing solely on outcomes like a specific weight, or number of times you want to go to the gym, think about how you want to feel. Goals tied to emotions – such as feeling energised, calm, or strong – are more motivating and impactful. You could go a level further by looking attaching your goals to deeper, more meaningful reasons, such as:

• “I want to exercise regularly to be a better role model for my children.”
• “I want to feel stronger so I can keep up with my active lifestyle as I get older.”
• “I want to prioritise movement to reduce stress and improve my mental clarity for work and relationships.”

When your goals align with values that truly matter to you, they become more than just tasks to tick off – they become part of your purpose.

Your Turn:
Write down the deeper reason for the goals you set in 2025.

2. Break Goals Into Micro-Steps

Often our new year goals are bigger in nature, projecting forward to the end of the year and sometimes even further. Big goals can feel overwhelming, but breaking them into smaller, manageable steps makes them more achievable. These micro-steps create a sense of progress, which builds confidence and momentum.

Your Turn:
How can you reverse engineer your goals into one simple starting step?

For example, if your goal is to develop a consistent workout routine, start by finding just one class you can book into your schedule on a consistent basis in the week. This way, the big goal becomes ‘booking your first class’. Then build on that success by adding another once you feel comfortable. 

3. Create “If-Then” Plans

Setting goals can be exciting, particularly whilst the motivation is high. But often we forget to plan for ‘the real world’. Life is unpredictable, and obstacles are inevitable. Having a plan for how you’ll respond when challenges arise can keep you on track. An “if-then” approach anticipates hurdles and prepares you to navigate them, reducing the risk of giving up when the going gets tough.

Your Turn:
When you have tried to achieve these goals before, what barriers have prevented you from achieving them, how can you navigate these hurdles to be better prepared? 

For example. “I am often too tired for an evening class after work and do not go. Instead I will look to book a class in the morning before work, or if i am booked into an evenging class, drive straight to the gym after work, rather than going home first’.

4. Track Small Wins

It’s easy to overlook progress when you’re focused on a long-term goal. By tracking small wins—like showing up to a class, drinking more water, or feeling less stressed—you remind yourself that every step counts.

Your Turn:
How can you track the small wins in a way that feels manageable and easy to follow? Use an app (you can check out the gamification feature in the Therapy Fitness app, to set class attendance goals and weekly streak targets to keep you on track) or a journal to note something positive after each class or movement session, like improved energy or feeling accomplished.

5. Pair Goals With Something You Enjoy

Attaching goals to something enjoyable can make the process more appealing. It seems really simple, but enjoying the process will go a long way towards helping you stick to your goals long term. When you look forward to the activity, it becomes easier to stay consistent.

Your Turn:
Whar can you do to make your goals more enjoyable?

For example, combining your workouts with social time by bringing a friend to class, or creating a self-care ritual around your workout like, hitting the beach for a post-workout dip or grabbing a cold towel and smoothie can be a great way to add that little extra to your routine, and reason for showing up.
