As we look toward 2026, let’s talk honestly about health goals.
Goals sound good.
“Lose 20 pounds.”
“Lower my A1C.”
“Exercise more.”
But here’s the truth many of us learn the hard way:
Goals don’t change lives. Habits do.
Goals are destinations.
Habits are what carry you there—day after day, especially when motivation fades.
You don’t wake up one morning healthy.
You become healthy through small, repeatable choices:
• Drinking water before coffee
• Walking 10 minutes after meals
• Choosing protein and fiber more often than not
• Going to bed when your body asks, not when your phone says so
• Checking in with your body instead of ignoring it
In 2026, consider shifting the question from
“What do I want to achieve?”
to
“What can I consistently practice?”
Because habits:
• Reduce decision fatigue
• Build confidence quietly
• Compound over time
• Are sustainable even in hard seasons
You don’t need extreme plans.
You need faithful patterns.
“Be not weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” — Galatians 6:9
Small seeds. Daily planting. Trusting God with the increase in your health.
Takeaway for 2026:
Don’t chase perfection.
Build patterns that love your body back.
One habit at a time.
