A Softer Start to January

by Shannyn Pearce

January has a way of making us feel like we need to fix everything at once.

New routines. Big goals. A “fresh start.”

If your body is already tired, inflamed, or dealing with chronic EBV, that kind of pressure usually backfires.

So here’s a much gentler way to start the new year:

👉 Choose ONE small habit to anchor your day.
Not a full routine. Not a total overhaul. Just one thing you can do consistently.

Maybe it’s:

  • Drinking a full glass of water before coffee

  • Taking a 5-minute walk after meals

  • Turning your phone off 30 minutes earlier at night

Small habits calm the nervous system — and a regulated nervous system is where healing actually begins.

If you’ve been wanting to feel better but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or worried you won’t be able to keep up, this is exactly why I created the 21-Day Radiant Reset.

This isn’t a detox.
It’s not extreme.
And it’s definitely not about perfection.

The Radiant Reset is a gentle habit-stacking challenge designed specifically for:

  • Chronic Epstein-Barr

  • Chronic illness

  • Nervous system burnout

✨ Easy
✨ Supportive
✨ Real-life friendly
✨ No pushing your body into a flare

You can start now — or when you’re ready — and move at a pace that actually supports healing.
