January doesn't come with a universal feeling.
Some people start the new year motivated and ready to set goals. Others start it tired, cautious, or just trying to catch their breath. Maybe you're somewhere in between.
New Year's resolutions can be helpful for some, but they can also feel heavy or discouraging for others. Neither response is wrong.
2026 doesn't need a total reset to be meaningful. You're allowed to move forward slowly, change your mind, opt out, or begin again later.
However you're entering this year, you're not behind. And support belongs in the picture, too. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure, call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org. Help is available 24/7.
