The Resolution Trap: Why ‘All-or-Nothing’ is the Enemy of Consistency

However, groundbreaking research reveals that this psychological rigidity is exactly why most resolutions fail by February. To make 2026 the year your fitness goals actually stick, you need to swap "perfection" for "flexibility."
