If your New Year’s resolution makes you tired just reading it… you already voted no and likely will not follow through.
Every January we do the same thing: More goals. More rules. More pressure.
And then we’re shocked when our hormones revolt by February.
Here’s the science reality check:
Your body doesn’t experience “ambition.” It experiences:
- Cortisol spikes
- Decision fatigue
- Dopamine overload
- Inflammatory noise
So let's do something different this year!! Let's STOP doing something or take something off your plate this year! If it doesn't fulfill you stop doing it!
🧬 New Year’s Resolution:
What are you doing LESS of?
Let's remove the interference that gets in the way of goals!
Why subtraction works:
- Fewer daily decisions → lower cortisol + better insulin sensitivity
- Less constant stimulation → dopamine receptors re-sensitize
- Less stress input → nervous system exits survival mode
- Less clutter → mitochondria actually do their job
Translation: Your cells prefer calm consistency over heroic effort.
Examples of powerful anti-resolutions:
- Less late-night scrolling (your circadian rhythm says thank you)
- Less over-explaining (your nervous system loves clean boundaries)
- Less chasing every new wellness trend
- Less reacting. More choosing.
- less saying yes to additional tasks
- less late night events
- less daytime distractions
👉 What’s ONE thing you’re intentionally taking OFF your plate this year to support your hormones, metabolism, or nervous system?
