This Year, Don’t Just Set Goals! Break Free from What Holds You Back

New Year, new opportunities…

But here’s the thing: Most of us set goals every January and by March, old habits sneak back in. Studies show that over 80% of people perform better when their goals are clear and realistic.

So why not do things differently this year? Instead of just writing a list, focus on what’s really holding you back. Coach Laval can help you uncover hidden blocks, shift your mindset, and make your goals stick.

Step past what’s holding you back and make this your most successful year.

Why Goals Alone Aren’t Enough

You might write down, “Improve my work-life balance” or “Communicate better,” but then life happens, and old patterns take over. Often, it’s not the goal—it’s a limiting mindset. Thoughts like “I don’t have time” or “I’m not good at this” quietly hold you back. Recognizing these is the first step to a better 2026.

How a Coach Can Help You Break Free

Working with a coach in Laval gives you guidance to:

• Spot patterns: Identify what keeps you stuck.
• Name the mindset: See the stories you tell yourself.
• Take small steps: Focus on consistent, simple actions.

A relationship coach also helps you see how your connections with others impact your progress. When your interactions improve, reaching your goals feels easier.

Tiny Steps, Big Change

Big changes can feel overwhelming. Experts show that clear, simple goals lead to better results.

Here’s a simple plan for 2026:

1. Pick one clear goal. Keep it simple. Example: Speak up in meetings.
2. Spot what’s holding you back. Be honest. Example: “I worry people won’t listen.”
3. Take one tiny daily action. Small steps add up. Example: Make just one comment each meeting.
4. Check in weekly. Ask yourself: Did I do it? How did it feel? What can I tweak for next week?

Just these few steps can turn your goals from “wishful thinking” into real, steady progress.

The Ripple Effect of Growth

Breaking free from what holds you back doesn’t just help you—it changes how you connect with others too:

• People notice your confidence and clarity.
• Conversations feel smoother and less stressful.
• Friends, family, and colleagues start cheering you on instead of creating friction.

A relationship coach can make a big difference. They help you spot habits or patterns in your interactions that might be holding you back.

With a few small changes, your personal and work relationships can flow easier, feel lighter, and actually support your goals.

5 Simple Questions to Keep You on Track

If you want to make this year actually count, ask yourself these 5 questions –

1. What feeling am I ignoring that’s holding me back?
2. What story am I telling myself about this goal?
3. What’s one tiny step I can take this week?
4. Who can support me in taking that step?
5. How will I celebrate even small wins?

Answering these turns your goals from a simple wish list into real, achievable progress—and keeps you moving forward all year long.
