How will this time be any different?
That’s the question.
You might read that, roll your eyes, and carry on with your day—which is fine.
But if you’re in the right mindset to sit with it for a moment, it could shift you from being stuck and frustrated to progressing and thriving in an instant.
I know because I’ve been there.
It wasn’t that long ago that I was stuck in a cycle of dieting and always falling off track.
For me, it looked something like this:
Restrict myself and over-exercise > see some progress > burn out > binge on “bad” foods > feel even worse > start again.
It was exhausting.
The effects were real—poor mindset, loss of my menstrual cycle, loss of confidence, and hating my body.
And every time, I’d ask myself the same question:
“How will this time be any different?”
And I’d give myself the same answer:
This time I’ll try harder.
This time I’ll have more discipline.
This time I’ll finally follow through.
But nothing actually changed.
Everything I told myself was just conceptual. It wasn’t practical.
I wasn’t adjusting my routine. I wasn’t changing my environment. I wasn’t seeking accountability or support.
So, nothing ever really improved.
If you’re still reading this, maybe it’s a sign that you’re ready to ask yourself that same question:
How will this time be any different?
Think about the past year. Was it REALLY different? Or was it more of the same?
Did you start the year with excitement and hope, only to find yourself back at square one?
If it didn’t go as planned, that’s okay.
But now’s the time to seriously consider what you’re going to DO to make this time different.
Because it won’t change with thoughts alone like, “I’ll try harder” or “I’ll be more disciplined.”
Real change happens through action:
Setting up a new routine and sticking to it.
Creating an environment that supports your goals.
Getting feedback, accountability, and support from someone who knows the way forward.
So don’t just tell yourself another story.
Actually answer the question:
How will this time be any different?
