We’re heading into the middle of 2026. This is the season where many leaders get caught up in looking at their resolutions they set at the start of the year and realising so much has shifted. But here’s the truth: resolutions don’t inspire action. They drain energy.
A resolution is a to-do list of things you think you should do: move roles, lose weight, be more disciplined, exercise more, study. None of these make you leap out of bed with excitement. They just keep you busy – without moving you closer to the life or career you actually want.
Dreams, on the other hand, change everything.
When you get clear on what you really want, your energy shifts. Imagine writing statements like:
-
“I’m so happy and grateful now that my promotion has created more time for family and impact at work.”
-
“I’m so happy and grateful now that I’ve grown my business to the point where I can take December off to travel.”
-
“I’m so happy and grateful now that I can run with ease along the coast, healthy and full of vitality.”
These aren’t wishful daydreams- they’re statements that direct your energy toward what inspires you. And when you’re inspired, you’ll take the right actions to make them real.
Here’s the catch: most people never slow down long enough to get clear. They enter January exhausted, full of “shoulds,” and wondering why they can’t sustain momentum.
That’s why now is the time to reset. The next quarter of 2026 is the perfect window to work with an executive coach like me. Together, we’ll make sure your energy is being spent in the right areas, so that by the end of the year you can look back and celebrate your wins.
If you want 2026/7 to be the year you achieve the goals that truly inspire you, the time to start is now.
