If you're already dragging because your 2026 resolutions are fading, our very own Master PT Yvonne Ball has some words of encouragement for you today:
Here we are, staring at the clean pages of a new yearโthinking about goals, words, and ways to do better than last year.
Our brains crave novelty, so we reach for new diets, workouts, habits, and apps.
But what if the question this year isnโt "๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐?"
What if itโs "๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ฌ๐?"
Where am I leading out of habit instead of necessity?
Could fewer, more intentional workouts create better resultsโand more rest?
Do I need another tool for efficiency, or do I simply need to unplug?
Are the people I feel obligated to stay connected to actually nourishing my life?
Does open space on my calendar feel freeingโor do I rush to fill it and feel emptier for it?
Each year brings more clarity: as I carve out space for quiet, prayer, and stillness, I need less to feel joyful and fulfilled.
Less noise.
Less striving.
Less proving.
With less, I am more present for those I love.
I value myself enough to protect my timeโblocking space not to be productive, but to listen to what my heart and soul need in that moment.
Can I still give that time away?
Sometimes.
But only after I pause.
Maybe in 2026, doing less is the most meaningful commitment we can make.
Feel free to shoot me your thoughts at your leisure.
-Yvonne
