With New Year’s Eve on the horizon, many of us are likely taking a moment to mull over our goals and resolutions for 2026. Perhaps you’d like to incorporate more movement into your day, get your finances in order or find a new hobby. No matter what your aspirations are for the year ahead, be sure to put pen to paper and write them down, as studies show doing so will make you 42% more likely to achieve them.

We recently chatted with content creator and former professional golfer Paige Spiranac, who happily shared her goals for the year ahead. While she admits she hopes to continue focusing on her health and fitness—the Colorado native loves reformer Pilates—her primary objective for 2026 is career-focused. And whether or not you’re a content creator like Spiranac, her objective is one many of us can surely relate to: sparking more joy in her work.

“ I really want to get back into finding the joy of creating,” Spiranac tells SI Lifestyle. “I feel that I’ve been doing [content creation] for such a long time that you start to just get in a rhythm and there’s nothing wrong with that, but trying new things, saying ‘yes’ to new opportunities, creating different types of content, just kind of pushing myself outside my comfort zone, that’s something I really want to try to do in 2026.”

How Spiranac hopes to challenge herself creatively in 2026

With a whopping 4 million followers on Instagram and another 1.7 million on TikTok, Spiranac’s fans know and love her for her content on the green, from her laid-back athleisure ‘fits to instructional videos. In pushing herself outside of her comfort zone in the coming year, Spiranac says that means showing more of her personality in her content.

“ Since I’ve been doing this for such a long time, you just get used to a certain type of content that you know is going to do well,” she elaborates. “I also just kind of put my guard up. It’s easy to kind of play a character and get into that role, and it’s easy just to navigate the internet that way. but I think letting my guard down a little bit more and showing more of my personal life, my day-to-day life, the insight into building a business, into golf and all these different facets that make me who I am. I realized that over the years, I’ve shown less of that and I’m not as vulnerable as I used to be and that’s something I really want to get back into.”

No matter what the New Year brings for Spiranac, we’ll be cheering her on, as always.
