The Architect of 2026: Goal Setting Through Resilience

Send us a text

Welcome to Healthy California! I’m your host, Linda Brown, Physical Therapist and Functional Nutritionist here in California. Today, we’re ditching the exhausted "New Year, New You" pep talk. Instead, we are becoming the architects of 2026 by examining our goals through the lens of true resilience.

Resilience isn't about being unbreakable; it’s about being rebuildable. Traditional goal setting often fails because it assumes linear progress and ignores our limited bandwidth. In this episode, I break down why you don't need to do more—you might actually need to do less.

Join me as we walk through my 5-step framework for sustainable growth:

• Identity First: Choosing a specific "word" for 2026 (I reveal why mine is Brave).
• Behavior Mapping: Defining how that identity acts on a daily basis.
• Resilience Goals: Setting targets that support your nervous system rather than burnout.
• Micro-Routines: Creating 10-minute habits that actually stick.
• Support Ecosystems: Building an environment and boundaries that protect your energy.

Drawing on psychology and scripture (Romans 12:2), we explore how to renew your mind rather than just filling your calendar. Let’s set goals that feel like nourishment, not punishment.

Thank you for listening to Healthy California.
