HELLO, FRIEND Q What are you looking forward to in 2026? A "I'm looking forward to my senior son getting accepted into a college and transitioning to an empty nest with my mental health in mind." — Kristin Currin-Sheehan, editor "Getting in better shape. I started exercising more often this year, and I plan to increase the frequency and intensity next year. I'm hoping to feel more confident and comfortable putting on a bathing suit by summer!" — Morgan Mandriota, newsletter editor "Continuing to be more social! I've gotten out of the house a lot more this year just to hang out with friends, and I even signed up for some activities in my community. I'm looking forward to keeping that up." — Sarah Choi, associate editor "I'm looking forward to getting back to fitness, days out, and generally some quality time as my own adult. Since becoming a parent, it's been a real uphill struggle to look after my well-being or do things I enjoy, but we're slowly getting there. I guess I'm looking forward to being more 'me' again!" — Alice Porter, editor "I moved last year, so I anticipate girls' trips with two of my closest friends (who also moved). We've been staying in touch across three time zones, which we've made work, but in-person will always beat virtual hangouts." — Sarah Matysiak, associate editor Set mental health goals If you'd like to request a specific topic, offer feedback, or chime in with your answers to our weekly questions, feel free to email us at newsletters@healthline.com.
