Nate’s Monday Morning Message Volume 1,302: Turning Resolutions into Results

Welcome to the first Monday Morning Message for 2026! Are you as excited about the next 12 months as I am? Let’s go!

A new year often brings fresh goals and renewed motivation. We set resolutions with the best intentions – health, finances, relationships, or career – but the real challenge isn’t setting them. It’s sticking with them once the excitement fades.

The key to lasting change is simplicity and consistency. Instead of focusing on big, sweeping resolutions, focus on small, intentional habits you can repeat every day. Progress doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from showing up, even when motivation runs low. One good choice at a time adds up.

As we move into the year ahead, choose goals that align with what truly matters to you, and create a plan that supports them. When you commit to steady effort and give yourself grace along the way, those resolutions turn into real results. Here’s to a year of clarity, consistency, and growth. Let’s make it a great week!

ENCOURAGEMENT CORNER

Setting Your Resolution (SMART Goals)

• Specific & Motivating: Understand the deep “why” and how it benefits your life.
• Realistic: Be honest about your resources and lifestyle; don’t try too much too soon.
• Achievable Steps: Break big goals into tiny, manageable actions.
• Time-Bound: Give yourself deadlines for milestones.

Making Them Stick

• Write It Down: Make goals tangible by writing them in a journal or app and keep them visible.
• Track Progress: Monitor your steps to feel accomplished and stay motivated.
• Find Support: Share goals with supportive friends or family to keep you accountable.
• Build Routines: Integrate new habits into your daily life to make them automatic.
• Be Kind to Yourself: Expect setbacks; adjust your plan and pick back up without giving up.
• Celebrate Wins: Acknowledge milestones to reinforce positive behavior.
