Yes, you read that right—TikTok can actually help you achieve your New Year’s resolutions.

No, I’m not talking about fitness challenges or productivity hacks that show up on your For You page. I’m talking about a simple mindset shift inspired by the time you spend scrolling.

The Realization That Changed Everything

Let me set the scene:

The holidays had left me feeling drained. I’d been sick, and my bed had basically become my new best friend. One Saturday, I knew I had things to do, but my motivation was nowhere to be found.

So, like many of us, I picked up my phone and started scrolling TikTok.

It felt like 10 minutes, but when I glanced at the clock, an hour had passed.

An hour. Gone. Just like that.

At first, I felt horrible. I’d wasted so much time, and my to-do list was still staring at me.

But then I had a thought:

Why does an hour of scrolling TikTok feel like 10 minutes, yet the idea of spending an hour at the gym feels like an eternity?

The Power of “It’s Only an Hour”

The next day, I felt that same unmotivated slump. But instead of reaching for my phone, I reminded myself of my realization:

It’s only an hour.

So I got up, laced up my sneakers, and headed out.

Guess what? That hour flew by, just like my time on TikTok. Only this time, when it was over, I felt amazing. No guilt, no regrets—just the satisfaction of knowing I’d done something productive.

Turning Procrastination Into Progress

Here’s how you can use this mindset shift to your advantage:

1. Recognize the Time You Spend Scrolling
   Think about how quickly an hour goes by when you’re on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.
2. Reframe Your Perspective
   Tell yourself, “If I can spend an hour scrolling, I can spend an hour working on my goals.”
3. Commit to Just One Hour
   Get up, get moving, and dedicate one hour to something meaningful—whether it’s a workout, meal prepping, or tackling that project you’ve been putting off.

The beauty of this approach is that it removes the pressure of perfection. You’re not committing to an all-day effort, just one hour.

Small Steps, Big Results

I always say: Any goal can be achieved with just 30 minutes a day.

So imagine what an hour can do.

The next time you feel stuck or unmotivated, remember this: The time will pass anyway. You can either spend it scrolling or use it to move closer to your dream life.

Your Strongest Year Yet

One hour at a time, you can make 2025 your strongest year yet.

But here’s the thing: Not having a clear plan can be the #1 thing holding you back.

Especially in fitness, when you’re piecing together advice from Instagram or YouTube, it’s easy to feel lost or overwhelmed.
