Summary of Podcast #21 Dominate 2025: Ann-Marie Antic's Secrets to New Year's Resolution Success

Many of us are turning our attention to New Year’s resolutions for 2025. It’s the perfect time for reflection and goal-setting—a moment to plan how we can improve our lives in the coming year. Yet, here’s a startling fact: only 8% of people achieve their New Year’s resolutions. That statistic may seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be your reality.


In the latest episode of the D8 Training Podcast, Ann-Marie Antic shares her personal formula for success. With years of experience helping clients achieve their goals, Ann-Marie offers practical, sustainable strategies for turning your aspirations into achievements, particularly in the realms of health and fitness. Let’s delve into her secrets to success.


Why Resolutions Fail: The Psychology Behind It


One of the reasons so many resolutions fail is rooted in psychology. Often, we set overly ambitious goals without considering the sustainability of our plans. Ann-Marie recounts the story of a client who took an all-or-nothing approach to weight loss. Her overwhelming and unsustainable efforts led to early burnout and abandonment of her goals—a story that’s all too common.


The takeaway? It’s crucial to set realistic and achievable targets. Unrealistic expectations may feel motivating at first, but they often lead to frustration and failure.


Ann-Marie’s Five-Step Programme for Resolution Success


To combat these pitfalls, Ann-Marie developed a five-step programme that ensures your resolutions stick. Here’s the breakdown:


  1. Set a Clear Goal
    Define what you want to achieve with specificity and intention.
  2. Understand Your Current Position
    Assess where you are today so you can map out a realistic path forward.
  3. Believe in Yourself
    Cultivate a mindset of confidence and determination. As Ann-Marie says, “If you believe you can, you can. If you believe you can’t, you can’t. Either way, you’re right.”
  4. Change One Habit at a Time
    Focus on small, incremental changes. Commit to one new habit each month to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
  5. Celebrate Progress
    Recognise and reward your milestones along the way. Acknowledging small wins keeps you motivated.


The Power of Mindset: Believe You Can


Mindset plays a pivotal role in achieving resolutions. Ann-Marie highlights the importance of self-belief, reminding us that a positive outlook can transform our approach to challenges. By shifting your internal dialogue, you empower yourself to succeed.


Gradual Change: One Habit at a Time


Another critical element of Ann-Marie’s programme is focusing on gradual change. Rather than attempting a complete life overhaul on January 1st, she recommends working on one habit at a time. By dedicating a month to solidifying each habit, you’re far more likely to make it stick. This approach creates manageable, sustainable progress, avoiding the overwhelm that leads to giving up.


Practical Tips and Inspiring Stories


The D8 Training Podcast episode is packed with actionable advice and real-life success stories that will motivate you to stay committed. Whether your goal is to lose weight, get stronger, or lead a healthier lifestyle, Ann-Marie’s insights provide a clear path forward.


Be Part of the 8% in 2025


Don’t let another year go by with unfulfilled resolutions. With Ann-Marie’s five-step programme, you have the tools to succeed. Tune into the podcast and join the 8% of people who achieve their goals. Let’s make 2025 the year of health, fitness, and success!
