Making Resolutions Stick at The Collective: Your Dream Goals Start Here
Set Yourself Up for Resolution Success
As the New Year approaches, many of us are thinking about setting resolutions that can truly make an impact. Whether it’s getting in shape, building new friendships, or finding time for self-care, The Collective offers everything you need to accomplish your goals right here, without ever leaving the building. But while having access to incredible amenities makes it easier, success still relies on consistency and discipline—because, let’s face it, motivation can be a fleeting feeling.
Here’s how you can set yourself up for success at The Collective and make your 2025 resolutions stick!
1. Setting Your Resolutions: Use the 3-Month Approach
Instead of setting overwhelming year-long goals that are hard to track, focus on shorter, more manageable 3-month goals. Breaking down your big resolutions into smaller chunks allows you to stay focused and achieve consistent wins.
For example, instead of saying, “I want to be fit by the end of the year,” try setting a goal to attend three fitness classes per week for the next three months. With weekly tasks, you can measure your progress and adjust as needed. At The Collective, you’ve got everything you need to meet those goals—from yoga and spin classes to basketball and pickleball in the gym.
2. Tap into The Collective’s Social and Event Offerings
ne of the best ways to stick with your resolutions is to stay engaged with others. Fortunately, The Collective has a packed calendar of events and activities to help you meet new people and stay active. Whether you’re interested in socializing or picking up a new skill, there’s something for everyone.
Join one of our resident teams, like volleyball or pickleball, to bring some fun competition into your routine. Or, get creative with craft nights, learn new recipes at cooking classes, or attend one of our many fitness classes. Socializing and staying active within the community can help keep you accountable and make achieving your goals a lot more fun.
3. Reward Yourself for Consistency
One of the keys to long-term success is rewarding yourself along the way. Celebrating small wins keeps you motivated and makes the journey more enjoyable. Luckily, The Collective is filled with ways to treat yourself after a week or month of hitting your goals.
Imagine finishing up a week of workouts and then relaxing in our steam room or unwinding in the hot tub. Or perhaps after attending a social event, you reward yourself with a solo golf session or some well-deserved downtime on one of our hydro massage beds. These built-in rewards can make the process of sticking to your resolutions feel rewarding in itself.
4. Make it Easy with the Right Tools
If you set yourself up with the right tools, sticking to your resolutions becomes much easier. The Collective has everything you need at your fingertips, which means fewer excuses and more opportunities to reach your goals.
Meal prep in our apartments’ gourmet kitchens so you’re ready for the week ahead, or schedule fitness classes in advance to keep you accountable. Want easy access to food for your healthy eating plan? Head to Whole Foods just downstairs! The abundance of amenities—whether it’s the three gyms, the Peloton spin room, or the yoga studio—means you can easily remove barriers to success.
5. Find Solitude and Mindfulness
Not all resolutions are about being busy. If your goals are more focused on mindfulness, self-care, or quiet reflection, The Collective has the perfect spaces for that too. Whether you want to meditate, take in the breathtaking views of the city, or focus on self-care, there are countless opportunities to carve out peaceful moments for yourself.
Relax in the steam room, recharge with a session in the lap pool, or take a quiet moment in the hot tub after a long day. With such tranquil spaces available, it’s easier than ever to build a mindfulness routine that helps you de-stress and refocus..
6. Motivation is Fickle, But Discipline is Key
It’s important to acknowledge that motivation isn’t always going to be there. Some days, you’ll feel energized to work toward your goals. Other days, you might not. That’s why building discipline and routine is essential for long-term success.
Set a schedule for attending fitness classes, participating in social events, or blocking off time for solo mindfulness activities. Make these activities a non-negotiable part of your routine. The key is to show up even when you don’t feel like it—that’s where discipline kicks in.
7. Hacks for Staying Consistent
Here are a few hacks to help you stay consistent and reach your goals this year:
Set Weekly Goals: Instead of focusing on the big picture, break your goals into weekly tasks. It’s easier to stay on track when you focus on smaller, actionable steps.
Reward Yourself: Treat yourself to something special after reaching milestones. Whether it’s a session in the hot tub or a relaxing steam, rewarding yourself makes the process more enjoyable.
Leverage the Community: Join a team or take part in classes to stay accountable and connected with others.
Make It Easy: Simplify your goals by prepping meals, scheduling workouts, or committing to events ahead of time. It’s all about setting yourself up for success.
