DON’T LET HOLIDAY HABITS TAKE OVER
As we approach the end of the year, there’s a familiar cycle that many of us get caught up in: the anticipation of a fresh start in January. With the new year just around the corner, it’s easy to fall into the trap of waiting for the calendar to flip before taking action on our goals. But what if I told you that waiting until the new year could be holding you back from achieving the very things you want in life?
Here’s why you should start moving toward your goals in December—not January.
1. Momentum Builds the Foundation
One of the biggest mistakes people make when setting new year's resolutions is thinking they can just "flip a switch" once the clock strikes midnight on December 31st. But real change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s built over time. By starting now, in December, you begin building the momentum you’ll need to hit the ground running in January.
When you take action today, even if it's a small step, you’re already laying the groundwork for a more productive, successful 2025. Starting today means you’ll feel the benefits of progress sooner and will be less likely to burn out by mid-January when most new year's resolutions start to fizzle out.
2. You’ll Have More Time to Experiment
Starting in December allows you to ease into your goals without the pressure of a “new year, new me” mentality. December is a month full of unique challenges, from holidays to work deadlines to social gatherings. But this also gives you a chance to experiment with your goals in a more relaxed way.
For example, if your goal is to get fit, maybe you start by doing 10-minute daily workouts. If you want to read more, maybe you begin with one chapter a day. These small efforts won’t feel overwhelming because you’re not committing to a drastic change right away. You can test what works for you now, without the pressure of perfection.
3. A Sense of Accomplishment Before January 1st
There’s something incredibly powerful about feeling accomplished before the new year even begins. Imagine walking into 2025 with the confidence that you've already taken action toward your goals. You won’t have to spend the first few weeks of the year just thinking about what you want to achieve—you’ll already be on your way.
Starting NOW allows you to reflect on how far you’ve come, which can create positive momentum that carries into the new year. You’ll feel more focused and empowered, with a clearer sense of purpose, making your new year’s resolutions feel more realistic and achievable.
4. The Holidays Are a Perfect Time to Practice Self-Discipline
The holiday season is often seen as a time of indulgence—overeating, over-spending, and under-exercising. But it doesn’t have to be that way! You can choose to set yourself up for success by working on self-discipline before the new year begins.
Instead of waiting for January to come around to start working on your fitness, health, or finances, use December as a time to practice moderation and mindful decision-making. Can you enjoy the holidays while still sticking to your fitness routine or saving money for your future? By practicing self-discipline now, you’ll be more prepared to tackle the bigger goals that lie ahead in the new year.
5. Avoid the “All or Nothing” Mentality
When January comes around, many people feel the pressure to be perfect from the start. This often leads to the "all or nothing" mentality—if you don’t go all-in on your resolutions, you might feel like you’ve already failed. By starting small in December, you take the pressure off and avoid the mindset that you need to radically change your life in one fell swoop.
Starting now doesn’t mean you have to be perfect; it means you’re making progress. Every small step you take in December is a win, and it helps to create a sustainable habit that you can build on in the new year.
6. You’re Giving Yourself a Head Start
December isn’t just the end of the year—it’s the perfect opportunity to get a head start on the competition. Most people don’t take action until January, so if you start now, you’re giving yourself a significant advantage over others. By the time the new year rolls around, you’ll already have a plan in place and the confidence that comes with taking proactive steps toward your goals.
Whether your goal is career advancement, personal growth, or building healthier habits, taking action in December allows you to set yourself apart from those who wait for the “perfect” time to start.
7. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection
In December, the pressure to be perfect is low. Between the chaos of the holidays and the general winding-down of the year, there’s less expectation to be flawless in your efforts. This is the ideal time to focus on making progress—not on achieving some lofty, unattainable goal.
If you get into the habit of working toward something—even if it’s imperfect—you’re developing the consistency and resilience that will serve you well in 2025. It’s better to take imperfect action today than to wait for the perfect moment that might never come.
December doesn’t have to be a time to slow down or put off your goals. In fact, it’s the perfect month to take small, meaningful steps toward the things you want to achieve in the new year.
So, whether your goal is to get healthier, start a new hobby, launch a business, or cultivate a new mindset, don’t wait. Start now. Give yourself the gift of progress and momentum this December, and by the time January arrives, you’ll already be well on your way to achieving your dreams.
Don’t wait for the new year to get started. Your future self will thank you for the small but consistent efforts you make today.
