Let’s Share

We hope you had a good festive break and managed moments outdoors to keep your steps up over Christmas. With the December rush now over and welcoming 2026, it is time to think about what’s next…

We have mentioned new year resolutions and goal setting a few times, but sometimes this is hard to do in the winter when the body wants to recoup, relax, and hibernate, as we await Spring. January tends to feel colder and longer, so let’s consider something lighter.

Instead of planning out the year and setting goals which may seem big, why not try one of these options.

Option one: Remove something from 2025 that didn’t serve you.  Something which didn’t bring anything positive or useful last year.  You will notice the difference or even feel a little lighter. For example, leave that WhatsApp group, stop drinking, let go of any self-doubt.  There are so many examples around habits, beliefs, anything which drains energy and needs boundaries set.  If you imagine a snake shedding their skin, to grow, heal and not overstretch oneself.  Be kind to yourself and enjoy the space mentally created and happiness it can bring.

Option two: Say ‘yes’ to more things, or even everything!  To invite new opportunities into 2026. Agree to new adventures, social engagements, fun opportunities to create new experiences.  It is good to get out of your comfort zone now and again, why not make 2026 the year of saying YES!  It opens new doors and allows personal growth but be careful not to lead to overcommitment or burnout.  Maybe once a month or even once is something manageable for you.

Why not even try both options to create space, which allows energy for new things. Let 2026 be your year.  We can’t wait to hear which option you are going to try when on our January walks.
