Not Just a New Year’s Resolution: How to Make Healthy Habits That Last
As popular New Year’s resolutions flood social media feeds, millions wonder: what’s a New Year’s resolution that actually sticks? At True40 Studio, we’re transforming how long New Year’s resolutions last by providing the structure and support needed for lasting change.
Why Traditional Resolutions Fail
Traditional resolutions often fail because they’re:
- Overly ambitious without proper support
- Lack structured guidance and accountability
- Ignore personal psychology and habit formation
- Rely on willpower instead of community support
Statistics show that popular New Year’s resolutions often center around fitness and wellness. Yet many ask: how long do New Year’s resolutions last? Studies reveal that without proper support, 80% fade by February. But at True40, we’re changing these statistics by teaching members how to make a resolution for the new year that truly sticks.
