New Year’s Resolutions: Why Having a Plan and Support Matters

As the New Year begins, many of us set big goals for our health and happiness. But how often do these resolutions actually stick? Studies show that while 41% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, only 9% feel they’re successful in keeping them by the end of the year. The reason? Most people don’t have a plan, accountability, or the right guidance to turn their goals into lasting habits.

At Whole Bean Wellness, we believe in creating sustainable health plans that go beyond a few weeks or months. Whether you want to lose weight, eat better, have more energy, or feel your best, having a plan and expert support can make all the difference.

The Problem with Quick Fixes

One of the biggest challenges people face with resolutions is trying to do too much, too fast. Diets that cut out entire food groups or intense workout plans often lead to burnout. Research from the Journal of Health Psychology shows that when we set unrealistic goals, we’re more likely to give up. Without a clear and personalized plan, it’s easy to fall back into old habits, undoing all your progress.

What’s Missing?

Here are some common struggles people face with their health resolutions:

• Overwhelm: Not knowing where to start.
• Stress: Feeling like you have to do it all perfectly.
• Lack of Support: Trying to make changes alone.
• Time Constraints: Balancing busy family schedules with healthy habits.
• Confusion: Not knowing what’s truly healthy or sustainable.

But what if you had a guide to help you through it all?

The Power of a Plan and a Coach

At Whole Bean Wellness, we offer more than just advice—we create a path that works for you. With services like in-person pantry clean-outs, custom meal planning, family-friendly meals, grocery shopping trips, cooking classes, and exercise plans, we make healthy living simple and stress-free.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we take a functional medicine approach, focusing on your unique needs, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you’re in Wentzville, Cottleville, Chesterfield, or Lake St. Louis, we provide personalized support through in-person or virtual sessions.

Accountability Changes Everything

Research from the American Society of Training and Development shows that having an accountability partner can increase your chances of success by up to 95%. When you work with a coach, you’re not just setting goals, you’re creating a roadmap to achieve them.

Here’s how we help:

• Clarity: We figure out what’s holding you back and what you need to move forward.
• Support: We’re with you every step of the way, making changes feel manageable.
• Sustainability: We focus on building habits that last, not quick fixes.
• Encouragement: When life gets tough, we’re here to keep you motivated.

Imagine the Difference

Picture this:

• Your energy levels are up, and you no longer feel drained by mid-afternoon.
• You’ve created family meals that everyone enjoys, even the picky eaters.
• Your stress around food is gone because you have a plan that works.
• You feel confident in your body and capable of staying on track.

This is what’s possible when you have a plan that fits your life and a coach who believes in you.
