Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about January energy. It usually arrives strong in the first week — full of promise. The promise of feeling better. Of renewed goals.

Big promises. Big motivation. Big plans.

And now? The confetti has settled. Goals that once felt attainable may feel harder to reach. Routines we pledged our allegiance to have their good days — and their missed days.

Here’s something we want you to hear clearly: momentum is an act, not a feeling. Feelings are fickle. To feel like you have momentum, you just need to start moving.

At Duddy Performance, we see it every year. The clients who make the most progress aren’t the ones riding a wave of New Year energy. They’re the ones who keep showing up once things feel “normal” again — when the excitement fades and sticking to those promises gets trickier.

I hope you find something below to help keep you moving - in the direction that matches your goals!

3 Tips to Get Back on Track

This section is for those moments when you feel like you’ve fallen off — and you want to find your way back without guilt, pressure, or starting from scratch.

1️⃣ Pick One Thing — and Do It First

When everything feels off, don’t try to fix everything at once. Pick one small thing that moves you in the right direction and do it first thing in the morning.

Write it down. Commit to it. Let it be simple.

That one thing might be:

• Drinking a glass of water
• Taking your vitamins
• Doing five minutes of gentle stretching
• Getting outside for a short walk

Starting your day with a win — no matter how small — is powerful. It proves to yourself that you can show up. Momentum builds when you keep promises to you.

2️⃣ Don’t Do It Alone

Accountability doesn’t mean pressure — it means support.

Grab a friend, a training partner, or someone who shares a similar goal. Check in with each other. Celebrate the small wins. Encourage each other on the harder days.

Progress is easier when someone else knows what you’re working toward. And sometimes, showing up for someone else helps you show up for yourself.

3️⃣ Shrink the Goal

Big goals can feel inspiring — until they feel overwhelming.

If you’re stuck, try breaking your goal into something smaller and more manageable over a shorter period of time. Instead of focusing on months from now, focus on:

• This week
• The next few workouts
• The next small habit

Short-term goals build confidence. Confidence builds consistency. And consistency is what gets you where you want to go.

Getting back on track isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what matters, consistently. One step at a time is still forward.
