We’re officially halfway through 2025—can you believe it? Around this time every year, we like to hit pause and reflect on those New Year’s resolutions we made back in January. And let’s be real: this isn’t about guilt-tripping anyone. The truth is, sticking to resolutions is tough—stats show that only about 9% of people actually follow through with their goals all year long. In fact, nearly a quarter give up within the first week, and almost half by the end of January. But here’s the good news: it’s not too late. Summer is the perfect chance to shake things up, refocus, and finish the year strong. So ask yourself—do you want to coast into the holidays feeling like you gave up, or take action now and make the second half of 2025 exactly what you envisioned?

Need a simple way to jump back in? Try this quick Mid-Year Reset Ritual to realign your goals and bring some fresh energy to the rest of your year:

1. Make a Commitment That Counts
Shameless plug here, but this is exactly why we create events. Something amazing happens when people commit and show up together—it turns “maybe I’ll do it” into “I’m doing this!” Putting something on your calendar (and yes, paying for it) creates real accountability. It’s no longer a wish—it’s a plan. Whether it’s hiring a personal trainer or finally signing up for that marathon you’ve been eyeing, taking that first step locks you in and sets the wheels in motion.

2. Break It Down & Build Habits
Big resolutions can feel overwhelming, so break them into tiny, manageable steps. Instead of “get healthier,” aim for something simple like “take a 10‑minute walk after dinner.” This works best when you build a trigger-habit routine—that’s where a specific cue (like finishing dinner) leads to a small action (going for a walk), which then earns a reward (maybe a podcast you only listen to while walking or that satisfying checkmark on your to-do list). These small wins stack up fast and help build momentum without burning you out.

3. Get an Accountability Partner (Or Group)
People who share goals or publicly track them are twice as likely to succeed.

• Find a friend, coach, or join a run group.
• Check in weekly, celebrate wins, and troubleshoot setbacks.
• Shared energy keeps it fun and supportive—the iDaph way.

4. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection
90%+ of resolutions fail—but that doesn't make trying a failure.

• Recognize small victories: a week of consistent effort, a new skill practiced, a healthy habit created.
• Reframe “failure” into growth:
  • Let go of “all or nothing” thinking.
  • Adjust your plan based on what’s working or not.
  • You’re crafting a lifestyle, not chasing perfection.

Here’s your friendly nudge at the halfway mark: you don’t need a new year to make a fresh start. You’ve got everything you need right now. Whether you’ve crushed your goals so far or completely fallen off track, there’s still time to make 2025 your year. Let’s get out there, move our bodies, connect with others, and finish this year with purpose, passion, and strength. We’re cheering for you—always.
