Nervous System Reboot: Getting Back on Track in 2026
As the year progresses, most New Year’s resolutions tend to sway to the wayside. This can leave you feeling depressed or even anxious. Approximately 80% of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned by mid-February. Why is that?
I believe this happens because systems are not put in place. As the saying goes, “Not preparing is preparing to fail.” With everything asking for your attention, it’s no wonder you barely have time for a cup of coffee, never alone a sensible meal
Here are some things I believe will help put you back on track, allowing you to 
get back into that lovely dress you bought that wasn’t on
sale—purchased with the belief you’d be shedding those
stubborn menopause pounds:
1. Set a Time for Your Last Meal of the Day
This will eliminate those late-night snacks before bedtime. When you establish a clear boundary around eating times, your body begins to regulate itself more naturally. Your nervous system learns when to expect nourishment and when to rest.
2. Brush Your Teeth After Dinner
This has been a game changer for me! Not wanting to deal with the hassle of flossing and brushing again helps keep me from those late-night snacks. It’s a simple psychological trick that signals to your brain that eating time is over for the day.
3. Keep Your Workout Clothes Close
Place them right next to your bed—yes, even on your nightstand if needed! The less you have to think about in the morning, the better. Having your gym attire close by makes getting ready much easier, allowing less resistance when it comes to keeping up with your workout routine.
The Confidence Connection
I believe when we make our routines a priority, we also acquire self-confidence. Each small win builds momentum. Every time you follow through on a commitment to yourself, you’re sending a powerful message to your nervous system: “I am reliable. I keep my promises to myself.”
Your nervous system craves consistency and predictability. When you establish these simple routines, you’re not just working toward physical goals—you’re creating a foundation of trust with yourself that ripples into every area of your life.
Keep going. You got this.
