Stay on Your Square: Winning During the Toughest Season

This is it—the time of year when everyone starts to fall off their goals.The stretch where winners are made, and everyone else is eating leftovers, sinking into the couch, and losing sight of their goals. This is the time of year when people gain the most weight, fall into seasonal slumps, and let their momentum slip. After that turkey, sweet potato pie, and endless holiday leftovers, it’s easy to see how people start spiraling into bad habits.


But guess what? That doesn’t have to be you. While everyone else is snoozing on their potential, you can stay sharp, focused, and ahead of the pack. All it takes is a few steps and the right mindset. Let’s talk about how to stay on track and dominate this season.


1. Stick to Your Schedule


The holidays can throw everything out of whack—work, sleep, gym, and even your eating habits. But your routine is your foundation. Stay disciplined. If you’re used to working out in the mornings, don’t skip it because it’s cold or because holiday plans threw off your day. Block out time, set your alarm and make it happen. Consistency wins.


2. Limit the Junk


Let me be clear: I love a great meal, and I wouldn't go so far as to say you should avoid every sweet or indulgent dish this time of year. But the problems starts when the your Thanksgiving meal turns into five days of leftovers. Moderation is the key. Treat yourself, then get right back on track. Focus on fueling your body with food that keeps your energy up and your mind sharp. Remember: one cheat meal doesn’t have to become a cheat week.


3. Keep Your Goals Front and Center


When everyone else is resting, you have a chance to level up. Take some time to reflect on your goals. Are you still moving toward them? Have they evolved? Write them down, keep them visible, and remind yourself daily why you started. When your purpose is clear, distractions start to fade.


4. Stay Connected


This is the time of year when depression and isolation tend to creep in. It’s cold, the sun sets early, and it’s easy to withdraw. Don’t let that happen to you. Check in with your circle—family, friends, and mentors. Keep the conversation going, even if it’s just a quick text or call. Connection is key to staying grounded and avoiding the mental traps that the cold weather can bring. Plus, a solid group of friends can challenge you, keep you accountable, and help you stay on track with your goals.


Conclusion: Be the Exception


This season doesn’t have to derail you. While others are falling off their square, you can stay on top of your game. Stay disciplined, stay focused, and keep moving forward. The holidays are an opportunity, not an excuse. Use this time to strengthen your habits, lock in your mindset, and build momentum going into next year. Winners are made in the off-season. Don’t waste it.
