2026 resolutions that fit real life

December 22, 2025

A new year always brings a spark of ambition, but 2026 isn’t asking for dramatic reinventions. No pressure, no dramatic glow-ups, just small upgrades that make everyday life a little nicer. Here are some 2026 resolutions that actually stand a chance of surviving past week two.

Resolution 1: See clearly in 2026 (literally)

A recent study by Pearle showed: one in three Belgians ignores signs of declining vision, even though a quick eye check can transform daily comfort. Pearle’s research shows the gap: almost everyone values good sight, yet many delay action. In 2026, the resolution is simple: get your eyes checked.

Resolution 2: Choose circular over new

New is old. In 2026, circular becomes the smarter choice. A.S.Adventure’s circular services make it easy to enjoy the outdoors without extra gear piling up. Their rental service lets you ski, camp or backpack with the right equipment minus the purchase of extra stuff. And for the favourites you already own, their Care & Repair service keeps them going strong. A fresh wax on a jacket, new life in a trusted backpack, revived hiking boots…

SKM shares that same mindset with an atelier that gives your clothes an extended life, from quick fixes to on-the-spot adjustments while you enjoy a coffee.

Resolution 3: Choose timeless pieces that last

The same shift is happening in fashion. Investing in timeless staples becomes the go-to resolution: pieces you reach for again and again. Our fashion clients embrace this with quality fabrics, seasonless silhouettes and items made to rewear creatively. Slow fashion isn’t about owning less. It’s about choosing better and enjoying your wardrobe for much longer.

Resolution 4: Don’t wait until the last minute to use your eco-cheques

Belgians receive eco-cheques with the best intentions, yet many forget use to use them at all. In 2026, we’re breaking that cycle with a simple shift: use them early and use them well. A.S.Adventure and Juttu make that easier with a wide selection of eco-labelled products (and services!) you can purchase with your eco-cheques.

Resolution 5: Host more, connect more

Hosting doesn’t need to be elaborate. Small, spontaneous moments matter just as much. With Double Dutch you add effortless flavour, with Gran Barón a refined festive touch and Sage’s Dual Boiler keeps you present instead of stuck in the kitchen.

Resolution 6: Enjoy your time at home

2026 is the year of slowing down a little. Small rituals, soft textures and cosy details turn evenings into moments that help you unwind. Brands like AMPM, La Redoute Intérieurs, Hunkemöller, Juttu and Veritas offer everything you need to create a home that feels calm, comfortable and genuinely yours.

Resolution 7: Move with intention

Movement in 2026 is all about feeling good, not keeping score. A morning stretch, a brisk walk, a quick home workout, small rhythms count. With pieces from Dopper, Anita Active, POM Amsterdam and Juttu, staying active becomes simple, encouraging small, consistent habits over strict routines.

Resolution 8: Refresh your daily rituals

Tiny shifts can make everyday routines feel calmer and more intentional. RainPharma’s Shower Challenge is a perfect example: one concentrated body wash for a full year, less waste, more clarity. Add their plant-based diffusers and gentle skincare, and your daily rituals turn into small moments of care.
