Prioritising Healthy Relationships
Whether it involves friends, family, partners, or colleagues, this year will focus on building healthier bonds that support you rather than drain your essence. “With increased scrutiny of those who exhibit red flags, individuals are better able to recognize whom to allow into their lives and how to prioritize their mental well-being,” Dr Tugnait highlights.Mindful Digital Consumption
In the social media era, there is a definitive need to be mindful of the digital content we consume. “There is no end to digital content, which can keep you engaged indefinitely; therefore, it is vital to be more intentional about how you spend your time,” Dr Tugnait clarifies. This trajectory is one of the major shifts expected this year.Gravitating Inwards
While humans are social animals, it is equally necessary to focus on internal reflection. Dr Tugnait underlines that while there has always been a focus on self-care, the fast-paced nature of modern life often causes us to neglect it. This year has already seen a shift towards self-evaluation and prioritizing one’s inner peace.-1767720064354.jpg)
Awareness of AI and Digital Reliance
Evolution has brought us to a point where we have created tools to advance ourselves, but the past few years have seen an over-reliance on AI. These tools have entered our workspaces, bedrooms, and even our kitchens. Being proactive about your digital and AI reliance will provide much-needed breathing space. Regarding AI in 2026, Dr Tugnait says, ”This will allow individuals to recognize AI as the tool it is, something that aids them, rather than something that runs their lives.”Reaffirming Family Bonds
Contemporary culture often centers on independence, which can leave individuals so immersed in themselves that they become disconnected from their support systems. This leads to psychological isolation and loneliness. “Individuals now need to be present in their own lives and those of their loved ones to become the best versions of themselves,” Dr Tugnait states.Prioritising Workplace Well-being
Recently, there have been multiple instances of severe burnout affecting both mental and physical health. In the final quarter of 2025, social media saw a surge in voices challenging toxic work cultures. “People have begun to understand the severity of the situation. There is a rise in cases where individuals are prioritizing mental peace and personal life over professional demands,” notes Dr Tugnait.Declutter and Detox
It is imperative to schedule regular decluttering and detoxing sessions. “We have learned to accumulate clutter to the point that it overwhelms us both mentally and physically,” Dr Tugnait notes. One should perform a digital and mental detox every fortnight or once a month, setting aside time away from devices to reconnect with personal passions.The articles, news features, interviews, quotes, and media content displayed on this page are the property of their respective publishers and media houses.
