As we welcome 2026, many of us feel that familiar sense of renewal. With the festive season ending, the last of the Christmas things are put away, and we begin to look ahead with new motivation. There’s something refreshing about clearing out the decorations and setting new resolutions for the year to come whether those intentions involve career goals, fitness goals, or personal wellbeing.
However, in a world where health is a constant topic of conversation, it’s surprisingly easy to deprioritise our own. We often put work, family, and other commitments ahead of ourselves. Yet without a strong foundation of physical and mental health, hitting our goals and enjoying the year ahead does become harder.
So, what Does ‘Good Health’ Really Mean?
Physical Health:
Good physical health isn’t all about running marathons or going to the gym every day, it’s about feeling able and comfortable in your own body. It means having the freedom to take part in the activities you enjoy and being able to move through daily life without any struggles.
Regular check-ups at your local doctors practice help catch any potential issues early and can give you peace of mind as you move into the new year.
Mental Health:
The start of a new year can bring excitement, but also pressure and it can become very overwhelming for some. Your mental health is just as important as your physical heath.
Maintaining connections with friends and family, recognising when you’re feeling stressed or low, and knowing when to reach out for support are essential habits entering 2026.
5 Easy Tips to start 2026:
- Keep up with doctor appointment and seek advice when something doesn’t feel right or you have any concerns.
- Set small, reachable goals for the year for both your physical and mental wellbeing.
- Take care of your mental wellbeing, not just your physical body.
- When you need it, reach out for support, whether it is to family or professionals.
- When you can, put your phone down!
When Healthcare Becomes Negligent:
Unfortunately, not everyone’s healthcare journey is straightforward.
