1. Choose One Habit to Focus on This Month
One of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to get back on track is trying to change everything at once. This leads to frustration, burnout, and eventually quitting altogether. Instead, focus on just one small, impactful habit this month.
Some simple but effective habits to choose from:
- Workout 3 times per week instead of aiming for daily workouts
- Start your day with a protein-packed breakfast for better energy and craving control
- Drink more water by setting a daily target (start with half your body weight in ounces)
- Create a 10-minute nighttime routine to improve sleep and recovery
Pick one, stick with it for the next 30 days, and watch how consistency builds momentum.

2. Set a Clear, Achievable Goal for February
If you’re feeling stuck, the best way to regain focus is to set a specific goal for the month.
Vague goals don’t create results. Instead of saying, "I want to be healthier," try setting an action-based goal:
- Instead of "work out more," commit to 12 workouts this month.
- Instead of "eat better," try meal prepping lunch three times per week.
- Instead of "improve sleep," aim to put your phone away 30 minutes before bed.
A clear goal gives you:
- Direction – You know exactly what to work toward.
- Accountability – You can track your progress over the next four weeks.
- Confidence – Small wins build momentum, making it easier to stay consistent.
Take five minutes today to write down your goal for February and commit to taking small daily actions toward it.

3. Make Workouts Simple and Consistent
One of the biggest reasons people fall off track is overcomplicating their fitness routine. You don’t need an expensive gym membership or an hour-long workout every day to see results.
Instead, focus on consistency over intensity. Short, structured workouts can be just as effective as long ones—what matters is that you’re showing up.
Tips to make workouts easier to stick to:
- Keep workouts short and efficient – Even 20 minutes is enough to build strength.
- Schedule workouts like appointments – Set a time and stick to it.
- Have a plan before you start – Knowing what to do removes decision fatigue.
If workouts have felt overwhelming, start with three sessions per week and build from there.
The BURN By Rebecca Louise App is designed for busy women who need quick, effective workouts without spending hours planning. Whether it’s strength, pilates, barre, or cardio, you can press play and get it done in 30 minutes or less.

4. Simplify Nutrition with a Sustainable Approach
If meal planning feels overwhelming, focus on small nutrition upgrades instead of a complete diet overhaul. Eating well doesn’t have to be complicated—just stick to simple, whole-food meals that fuel your body.
Some ways to keep it simple:
- Prioritize protein at every meal to stay full and energized.
- Stick to easy, repeatable meals – Find two or three go-to breakfasts, lunches, and dinners to eliminate decision fatigue.
- Hydrate properly – Dehydration can lead to fatigue, cravings, and poor digestion.
If you’re struggling with nutrition, start by making one simple upgrade this month, like swapping processed snacks for whole foods or increasing your protein intake.
And if you need meal inspiration, the BURN App offers over 200 simple, nutritious recipes tailored to various dietary needs, making healthy eating easier than ever.
Eating well doesn’t have to be complicated, and with the right guidance, you can fuel your body with ease.
