And just like that, it’s 2026! As the new year begins, we’re pleased to welcome back our Wellbeing Blog. January often brings a sense of momentum – a chance to pause, reflect and decide how we want to move forward. Rather than rushing into change, this is an opportunity to reset with purpose and clarity.

Here, we focus on practical wellbeing that encourages reflection and purposeful action. Not perfection, not pressure – but conscious choices that help us feel more balanced, capable and connected as the year unfolds.

January is traditionally associated with resolutions, but these rigid, all-or-nothing goals can set you up with a pass/fail mindset that rarely survives real life.

Intentions, on the other hand, focus on how you want to live, not just what you want to achieve. An intention leaves room for growth, setbacks and changing circumstances, while still giving you a clear inner compass.

Instead of demanding perfection from day one, intentions invite consistency, self-awareness and choice. They ask you to show up again and again, rather than prove something once. That’s why intentions last – they evolve with you, rather than collapsing the moment life gets messy.

An intention might be:

• To respond thoughtfully rather than react
• To protect time and energy for what matters most
• To build habits that support both wellbeing and confidence

Intentions aren’t about lowering standards – they’re about choosing direction with flexibility. They encourage self-awareness, consistency and progress over time. Writing intentions down and reviewing them regularly can help turn them into practical anchors for everyday decisions.

Reflection is most effective when paired with practical steps. Small, consistent actions – such as planning, journaling, tracking habits or noting progress – help transform intentions into meaningful change.

To help with this, we’ve released a range of digital worksheets, tools and planners designed to support focus, self-awareness and everyday wellbeing. They’re available via the shop on our website for anyone who finds value in clear structure and guided reflection.

We’ve created an intention-setting worksheet that’s FREE to download throughout January to help you get started! From February, it’ll be available to purchase.

If you’d like to go beyond a single worksheet and track your intentions and progress throughout the year, the ‘A Year of Intentions’ bundle gives you everything you need to reflect, reset, and stay aligned.

You can find both of these in our new shop here: https://stan.store/Isorropia

(Please note: As a non-profit organisation, all proceeds from our shop are reinvested into the running and development of Isorropia Foundation) 

January includes several awareness initiatives that can act as useful prompts for positive change. When approached intentionally, they offer opportunities to build healthier habits, strengthen relationships and contribute to a more supportive community.

As the year unfolds, think of wellbeing as something you actively shape – through everyday decisions, honest reflection and the priorities you choose to protect. Small, intentional actions, repeated over time, are what create momentum and lasting change.

Will you be engaging with initiatives such as Dry January, Veganuary, Brew Monday, and Parent Mental Health Day?

If you’d like to share your intentions for 2026 with us, you can comment on our Facebook and Instagram posts – we’d love to hear what you’re focusing on this year.

We look forward to another year of learning, connection and progress – and we’re glad to be moving into it together.
