Goals, Change and 2026

…picking up from yesterday…..

You need six blank sheets of paper. Head them: career, health, finances, relationships, fun, contribution.

Start a timer for ten minutes and write as much as you can-bullets, sentences, pictures-under each heading answering the question: what must change here?

At the end of ten minutes, stop but feel free to add thoughts and ideas as and when. We will continue tomorrow.

Go storm.

Goals, Change and 2026

If your thoughts are turning from food shopping lists to lists of goals and changes you really wish to make this year, stay tuned. Over the next few days we’ll do some gentle and achievable work to ensure you are up-and-running for the New Year. You might today put aside a sharpened pencil and a small stack of blank printer paper.

Meanwhile, go walk, go read some fiction and go drop some thank you notes in the post.

Happy Christmas!

May it be exactly as you wish it.

Attending church, examining presents, hiking wintry lower slopes, listening to the start of bells chiming across sleeping villages, coffee drunk and lists managed in a busy kitchen, stories of 2025 shared, hope renewed.

May your day bring exactly the blend of solitude and company, tradition and surprise, reflection and celebration that suits you best,
