The Holiday Reset: What to Focus On Between Christmas and New Year’s
The stretch between Christmas and New Year’s is one of the most misunderstood weeks of the year.
Some people mentally check out.
Others feel guilty.
Most say, “I’ll just restart in January.”
Here’s the truth:
👉 This week doesn’t ruin your progress — it defines your momentum.
You don’t need a full overhaul.
You don’t need extreme workouts or strict dieting.
You need a reset, not a restart.
Here’s exactly what to focus on during the final week of the year to feel better now — and set yourself up for success in January.
🎯 Stop Trying to Be Perfect — Start Being Intentional
Perfection is the fastest way to burn out.
This week isn’t about hitting every workout or eating “clean” 100% of the time.
It’s about making intentional choices that keep you grounded.
Ask yourself each day:
• Did I move my body?
• Did I eat protein?
• Did I hydrate?
• Did I get decent sleep?
If you hit most of these, you’re winning.
Consistency beats intensity — especially this week.
🔄 Focus on the “Big 3” Habits (The OBK Reset)
When everything feels off, simplify.
These three habits reset energy, digestion, and mindset fast:
✅ Protein at Every Meal
Keeps hunger, cravings, and energy stable.
✅ Daily Movement (20–30 minutes)
A workout, a walk, mobility — movement matters more than intensity.
✅ Hydration First Thing in the Morning
Most people feel “off” simply because they’re dehydrated.
Do these three things and your body will respond within days.
⚖️ Don’t Punish — Recalibrate
A common mistake this week is trying to “undo” Christmas.
Extreme restriction, overtraining, or guilt-driven decisions usually backfire — and carry into January.
Instead:
• Eat normal meals
• Return to your usual routine
• Keep treats planned (not random)
Recalibration builds momentum.
Punishment destroys it.
📅 Use This Week to Plan January (Not Avoid It)
Most people avoid planning because it forces honesty.
But clarity removes stress.
Spend 15 minutes answering:
• What do I want to feel like by the end of January?
• How many days can I realistically train?
• What support do I need this time that I didn’t have before?
This is where real change begins — not on January 1st.
🚀 Momentum Is Built Before Motivation Shows Up
Motivation is unreliable.
Structure is not.
The people who succeed in January are the ones who:
• Make decisions before the chaos ends
• Build systems instead of relying on willpower
• Get support instead of going it alone
That’s exactly why OBK created the January Kick Start.
