Episode 79 - Your 2026 Compass: Building a Year Based on How You WANT to Feel

Forget "new year, new you." This episode is a permission slip to enter 2026 differently. Host [Your Name] guides a deep, restorative reframe of January—not as a time for rigid resolutions, but as a sacred buffer zone for shedding the old and listening for the new. Drawing on the symbolism of the Chinese Year of the Snake (still in effect until February 17th) and the natural dormancy of winter, we explore how to complete a final "shed" of limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, and external expectations.

The core of the episode challenges the default goal-setting around weight, size, and achievement, asking a more powerful question: "How do you want to FEEL?" Sharing a personal story about achieving a "thin" body but not happiness, the host argues that lasting change comes from fixing the inside first. We explore how to use desired feelings—like Strength, Ease, Energy, or Peace—as your true compass for the year ahead.

Learn how to translate those core feelings into small, sustainable actions (like gentle movement for strength or better sleep for focus) without the "all or nothing" pressure. This is a call to build a 2026 based on internal integrity, not external validation, and to remember that you are already deserving of feeling good simply because you exist.

✨ Use this January to shed and listen. What is one small thing you can do this week that aligns with how you want to feel? If you're ready for guidance on this journey, reach out to me on Instagram at @samcoretrainer or book a FREE Discovery Call at samcoretrainer.com
