New Year’s Resolutions That Actually Make You Happier
As the year turns, there’s a familiar pressure to reset, optimise and improve. But instead of chasing resolutions that fade by February, this year we’re doing something different.
This piece explores what the research actually tells us about happiness - and why connection, depth and community matter far more than productivity goals or personal “glow-ups.” As we step into 2026, we’re shifting our focus at Get Out too - less noise, more real connection.
Happy New Year. Let’s start it differently.
What True Wealth Looks Like (and How I Forgot It for a Minute)
For a while, I kept Get Out running on autopilot - ticking boxes, doing the right things, but feeling the spark fade. Then I read new research on purpose and realised I’d stopped doing the one thing that made all this feel alive: contributing. Happiness, it turns out, isn’t found in chasing more. It’s in giving something meaningful away.
The Hard Work of Happiness
We’re often sold the idea that happiness is a passive state—something we stumble into with enough time, money, or success. But research tells a different story. True happiness requires effort, intention, and sometimes a little discomfort. In this piece, we explore the neuroscience, psychology, and personal habits that shape lasting happiness—and why it might be the hardest (and most worthwhile) work of all.
