The second Friday in January is often referred to as “Quitter’s Day”. The term “Quitter’s Day” surfaced in 2019 as part of statistical data from the Strava fitness app that showed how a significant number of users’ activity levels begin to drop around this time. Although the exact percentages of “quitters” vary depending on the survey methodology being used, the general statistical consensus is that approximately 80% of people abandon their resolutions within the first month.
Some of the reasons that health care professionals have cited for people abandoning their New Year’s resolutions include: (1) setting unrealistic goals (2) lack of support and (3) trying to live up to trendy societal expectations. Consequently, given the alarming “Quitter’s Day” statistics, it is easy to question how one can begin to “bounce back” from a “Quitter’s Day” mindset in order to achieve their goals.
Beyond one’s efforts of trying to recover from abandoning their New Year’s resolutions, there are also many other areas in our lives that we may be desiring to “Bounce Back” from which requires one to focus more on having a growth mindset.
On Morning Energy, we are going to spend time exploring how to “Bounce Back” from debilitating and damaging thoughts that can prevent you from achieving your goals – whether those goals involve losing weight, exploring a new career or taking a chance on new love.
