As the new year approaches, many of us set ambitious health resolutions—exercising daily, eating healthier, practicing yoga or meditation, going for walks, eating on time, and improving our sleep. But all too often, by the end of January, those well-intentioned plans start to fade as life’s demands and shifting priorities take over.
The key to lasting success is adopting an approach that aligns with your unique body and lifestyle. People can generally be classified into three types:
The Goal Type : Instead of setting vague goals like “I’ll work out every day,” focus on specific, actionable objectives. Example: “I’ll walk for 30 minutes, four times a week.
The Habit Type: Goal-setting doesn’t work for you, try focusing on building small, consistent habits instead. “ I will walk every day 5min, 10min or 15min."
The Push Type : Both Goals and Habits will not work for you, will need an extra push to stick. “I’ll walk with a friend or join a group.
This year, let’s break the cycle of fleeting resolutions to create lasting change.
this is really helpful! I am building a healthtech vertical and we are working on a healthtech newsletter where in our year-end edition we want to talk about ways to stick to your New Year resolutions!
would love to know more and your thoughts!
Namaste @Ahona, I’m thrilled to hear about your healthtech newsletter and the exciting year-end edition focused on sticking to New Year resolutions ! I’d love to share my thoughts.

Thank you for sharing your thought-provoking insights. I firmly believe that health goals should not remain as mere aspirations. For them to truly materialize, they need to be transformed into daily habits. Without integrating these changes into our routines, health goals risk staying as unfulfilled intentions. Sustainable progress begins when we embed healthy practices into our everyday lives.
Thanks for sharing your nuggets Shiv.
As you rightly said, sustainability and habit formation are the keys to achieving health goals. However, this requires a personalized approach rather than a generalized one, as every individual’s needs, routines, and challenges are unique.
I completely agree with the personalisation part. The systems will have to adapt to changing needs, until the individual understands what works best for them.
Will definitely check out 'Motivation - Patterns —sounds insightful!
Thanks for supporting the idea of personalization; it’s such a game-changer in adapting to what works best for individuals over time.
