This year, Dr. Sarkar is choosing intention over perfection. From mindfulness and movement to sleep and family time, she shares the personal health goals guiding her into 2026 — and how small, meaningful habits can make a big difference.
As we enter a new year, many people feel pressure to set big resolutions, ones that sound great on paper but often feel overwhelming by February. At Connected Health, we encourage a gentler, more sustainable approach: health intentions rooted in meaning, balance, and self-compassion.
Dr. Sarkar recently shared her own personal intentions for 2026, and they reflect the same philosophy she brings to patient care every day — thoughtful and realistic.
One of Dr. Sarkar’s top intentions for the new year is continuing to pursue a life with meaning and mindfulness, including regular meditation. She has seen firsthand how this practice has helped ease anxiety and stress to the point that even her family has noticed the difference.
Mindfulness doesn’t require perfection or long hours. Even small, consistent moments of stillness can have a powerful impact on mental and emotional health.
For physical health, Dr. Sarkar’s focus is on movement that feels achievable. She hopes to incorporate more regular walks and explore strength training or exercise classes, possibly even joining a gym, while being mindful not to overpromise or set unrealistic expectations.
This approach reflects an important truth: consistency matters more than intensity. Finding ways to move your body that feel supportive, not punishing, can make all the difference.
Nutrition remains another area of intention. Dr. Sarkar plans to continue incorporating more plant-based meals while cutting back on meat and processed foods. She’s noticed a shift in her family’s palate over time — a reminder that healthy changes can become enjoyable habits rather than sacrifices.
Sleep continues to be a key focus, both personally and professionally. Dr. Sarkar is committed to finding ways to enhance deep sleep and improve overall sleep quality, which is an essential foundation for physical health, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.
Perhaps most meaningful is her intention to spend more intentional, unrushed time with family. With her oldest child heading to college this year, being present and connected feels more important than ever.
Dr. Sarkar’s intentions remind us that health is not about doing everything at once. It’s about choosing what matters most and moving forward with care and intention.
As you think about the year ahead, consider setting goals that support your wellbeing without adding stress. And remember, your Connected Health care team is here to support you every step of the way.
