The Secret to Making Habits Stick—For Real This Time

Tired of setting goals that never seem to last? You’re not alone. Research shows that 80% of people abandon their resolutions by February. Not because they don’t want to succeed, but because they’re missing one key ingredient: consistency.

 


 

1. Start Small (Like, Really Small)

Big goals are exciting, but they’re also intimidating. The secret? Shrink your goal to something so easy you can’t say no.

💡 Instead of "I’ll work out every day," start with "I’ll stretch for 5 minutes."
💡 Instead of "I’ll drink a gallon of water," start with "I’ll drink one extra glass."

Why it works: Small wins build momentum, and momentum keeps you going.

 


 

2. Make It Visible

Ever set a goal and then… completely forget about it? 🙋‍♀️ That’s why visual reminders are key.

That’s where Loops habit-tracking bracelets come in. Every time you see it, you’ll be reminded to take action—without needing an annoying alarm or sticky note.

Why it works: What we see, we do. A habit that stays top-of-mind is a habit that sticks.

 


 

3. Track It (Because Data Doesn’t Lie)

Science says you’re 42% more likely to succeed if you track your habits. The act of marking progress keeps you accountable and motivated.

Loops makes tracking effortless—every glance at your wrist is a little high-five for staying on track.

Why it works: Seeing progress is addictive (in a good way!).

 


 

4. Celebrate Every Step (Even the Tiny Ones)

Most people quit because they don’t feel like they’re making big progress fast enough. But here’s the truth: small wins lead to big results.

💡 Every workout counts.
💡 Every glass of water counts.
💡 Every mindful moment counts.

With Loops, you’re not just tracking habits—you’re celebrating them.

Why it works: Progress fuels motivation, and motivation fuels success.

 


 

5. Forget Perfection—Just Keep Going

Missed a day? It’s not a failure—it’s just life. The key to lasting habits is bouncing back quickly.

Instead of “I missed a day, I give up,” try “I missed a day, but I’ll start again tomorrow.” That’s how real change happens.

Why it works: Success isn’t about never falling—it’s about always getting back up.
