Happy New Year!
Goodbye 2025. Here we come, 2026!
We're just a few days into 2026 so this is a great time to look ahead at the blank canvas of the new year.
One of the big mistakes people make when creating goals is that they are too vague and so are more likely to fail. Vague goals like “Be happier” , “Eat healthier.” or “Exercise more” do not give us much direction of how to make it happen.
Instead when making goals, remember that less is more. Better to pick 1 - 3 goals that are specific and measurable.
Take a few minutes this week to reflect on 2025 and prepare for the new year by crafting measurable, small goals that will glad you closer to what you’re wanting in 2026.
Take a look back on 2025. Be sure to write down your answers. Research shows that this helps to cement things in our minds.
What were the highlights? Look in your camera roll to remind you. You'll be surprised how many you forget.
What did you do that you’re proud of? Be sure to celebrate this and take a bow.
What were some of the tough parts of 2025?
What did you learn about yourself?
Now let’s look ahead to 2026.
What do you want more of in 2026?
What do you want less of in 2026?
What are 1 - 3 goals that will help you get more of what you’re wanting? Need some ideas. Here are some examples of small, measurable goals that may help get you started.
That's it. Now tuck what you wrote somewhere so you can keep coming back to it. Here we come 2026!
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year!
