I’ve shared my goals every year for the last couple of years. I like it, it keeps me on track. So, without any further ado, here are my goals for 2026:
Publish My Novel
One of my most ambitious goals for 2026 is to publish my first novel. It took years to finish but I think it’s been worth it.
Learn How To Play Guitar
I’ve had this on my list for ages and I want 2026 to be the year that I finally learn to play guitar.
Decrease Screen Time, Especially Before Bed
I have an awful habit on being on social media on my phone before bed. It messes up my sleep and I feel like it’s ruining my attention span as well. This year, I want to decrease my social media time and screen time in general especially before bed. No screens an hour before bed.
Get Healthier
I did sort of eat healthy this year but I wasn’t great with it. In 2026, I want to really focus on eating clean and getting lots of activity throughout the day.
Work On My Relationship With Food
In 2025 I realised I still have a bit of an unhealthy relationship with food especially when I’m stressed out or experiencing negative emotions. This year, I want to eat when I’m hungry and not overeat.
Read Both Fiction And Non-Fiction Daily
I’ve been trying to get back into reading and it’s going really well. In 2026, I want to read both fiction and non-fiction and I want to make sure to read a little daily. Hopefully, my reading time will replace my screen time.
Meditate Daily
I seriously fell off with meditating in 2025. I want to get back into it and meditate daily in 2026.
Treat Yourself
My mum always jokes that I never treat myself and she’s kind of right. This year, I want to do more stuff for me. And it doesn’t have to be anything extravagant. Maybe get a massage every few months, do an at home spa day, take a nice long bath. Stuff like that.
Travel
I have plans to travel a lot more this year. Fingers crossed it’ll work out.
Journal Daily
I did this for a lot of last year too and I want to keep up with journaling every day in 2026 as well. My therapist recommended it as a healthy outlet and it’s really helped.
Try New Things
I want to try as many new things as possible in 2026. On NYE, after midnight, my cousin and I were dancing for a while and that was a fun new thing I tried already. I never dance in public, I’ve mentioned that many times on this blog. But I finally did and you know what? It was a blast!
Drink More Water
As I’ve mentioned in earlier posts, I have a hard time drinking enough water throughout the day. Usually, I used to drink like a glass or two a day. Then I tried distance reiki and did start drinking more but it’s still not enough. I want to be drinking 1-2 litres every day.
Final Thoughts
So, those are my goals for 2026. I don’t know if I’ll be able to achieve all of them but at the moment, I have a lot of hope in my heart. Even if I just try my best, I think that’s enough.
