Will 2026 be the year you’ll “lose weight”, “change career” or “move house”?<\/p>\n
Beware – these are not actionable plans, they’re pressure statements, warns Dr Claire Kaye, a former GP and confidence coach.<\/p>\n
Resolutions often fail because they are unclear, unrealistic and too broad, she says.<\/p>\n
She advises writing down what’s working in your life, what’s draining you or no longer fits, and where are you running on autopilot.<\/p>\n
“When you understand what you want more of, not just what you want to escape, change becomes far more sustainable,” she says.<\/p>\n
Write down your goals focusing on “direction and experience rather than a fixed point”. <\/p>\n
She suggests “Lose weight” can be reframed as: “I want to feel more energised and comfortable in my body, and understand what helps me feel that way.”<\/p>\n
Instead of “change career”, it could be: “I want to explore what work gives me energy and meaning, and identify one small step towards more of that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will 2026 be the year you’ll “lose weight”, “change career” or “move house”?
