Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Thursday, January 1st, 2026. New Year's Day!
Today can feel like a starting gun. Like you're
supposed to wake up transformed, motivated, organized,
glowing, and already drinking a green smoothie
you made from scratch with ingredients you grew
yourself. Let's skip all that. Here's today's
advice. Start the year with one promise you can
keep. Not a huge resolution, a small, believable
promise. Something you can actually do on a normal
day. A few examples. I will take five minutes
a day to reset one small area. I will go to bed
ten minutes earlier, three nights a week. I will
move my body for five minutes when I feel stuck.
I will text one person back before I doom scroll.
Small promises build trust with yourself, and
self -trust is rocket fuel. Here's a quick way
to choose yours. Pick a promise that is easy,
repeatable, forgiving. If you miss a day, you
don't quit, you just continue. That's the whole
secret. And your goodwill move for New Year's
Day? Wish someone well without needing anything
back. Send a quick message. Happy New Year. I
hope 2026 is kind to you. No follow -up. No expectation.
Just goodwill. Clean and simple. That's your
daily goodwill for Thursday, January 1st, 2026.
New Year's Day. You don't have to become someone
new today. You just have to take one kind step
toward who you already are. Talk soon.
