A Free New Year’s Resolution Email Series That Helps You Follow Through

Most New Year’s resolutions don’t fail because people don’t care. They fail because motivation fades, life gets busy,
and people don’t know what to do when things wobble.

This free New Year’s resolution email series offers a calmer, more realistic way to approach change.
It is grounded in how habits actually work, rather than relying on hype or willpower.

Over the course of a month, you’ll receive a series of thoughtful emails designed to help you clarify your intention,
stay engaged when motivation drops, and recover from setbacks without giving up.

What this email series is (and isn’t)

This is not a challenge, a reset, or a productivity system.

  • No daily tasks
  • No pressure to keep up
  • No expectation of perfection

Instead, this series focuses on understanding your patterns and learning how to work with them.
Each email explores one aspect of behaviour change, followed by a small, practical exercise you can try immediately
if it feels useful.

What you’ll explore over the month

This New Year’s resolution email series covers topics such as:

  • Why motivation is unreliable, and what works instead
  • How habits form and why they persist
  • Working with urges and cravings without fighting them
  • Managing negative self-talk when things don’t go to plan
  • Designing small, repeatable actions that actually stick
  • Learning how to resume rather than quit after a setback

You’ll also receive optional worksheets to help you integrate what you’re noticing, without turning the process into homework.

Who this is for

This series is designed for people who:

  • Have tried to change before and struggled with follow-through
  • Are thoughtful and self-aware, but get stuck when motivation drops
  • Want something practical, grounded, and evidence-informed
  • Are tired of being hard on themselves every time they slip

It is particularly useful if traditional goal-setting or discipline-based approaches leave you feeling discouraged or stuck.

How it works

  • The series runs over approximately one month
  • Emails are sent every few days (not daily)
  • Each email stands alone, so you can read them at your own pace
  • You can unsubscribe at any time

There’s no right way to engage with it. The value comes from noticing, experimenting, and returning when you drift.

Why this approach is different

Sustainable change doesn’t come from forcing yourself to be better.

It comes from understanding:

  • What your habits are responding to
  • How your environment shapes behaviour
  • How to reduce friction rather than increase pressure
  • How to stay engaged when things feel messy or uncomfortable

This email series is built around those principles, using approaches drawn from behavioural psychology,
habit research, and therapeutic work with real people.
