To find the NY depressing and needing motivation

[Yourlifeinyourhands]

I always find this time of year hard. Feels like the fun has finished, I’m doing dry Jan and it’s freezing!
I’m not making New Year’s resolutions as I don’t stick to them but I do want to be more present, read more and be happy with myself.

I worry how I’m going to motivate myself though.. no point today as I am majorly hungover so need comfort food and TV (but did have a 2 hour beach walk!)

How are you motivating yourself to be the best version of you in 2026?

I love that reset button - I do dry Jan, cut out processed sugary junk, hit the gym and treat my body like a temple for a bit. I couldn’t do it all year but I find doing it in January pretty easy. Dare I say I almost look forward to it. My clothes will fit better, I’ll be sleeping better and I’ll hopefully feel a bit fitter!
