Turning Resolutions into Mindfulness

Written By ruth smith

Just a simple reframe may catapult you into 2026 success! Consider these examples…

  • Instead of resolving to exercise more, be mindful of your body’s need for increased strength, flexibility, or stamina.

  • Instead of resolving to lose weight, be mindful of your comfortable satiation point.

  • Instead of resolving to treat your spouse with more respect, be mindful of “keeping the peace” within yourself.

  • Instead of resolving to master a new language (or other skill), be mindful of the beginner’s mind and the joy of learning.

  • Instead of resolving to save more money, be mindful of the value of each dollar.

Mindfulness — awareness — is super powerful when combined with a desire for change. Desire without mindfulness is like driving blind. And mindfulness without desire keeps you stuck in the parking lot.

So, CHEERS to 2026! May your new year be filled with mindfulness and much success!
