2026 – My year of self-care

This year, I resolve to turn inward with intention, not avoidance.

I will:

  • Let myself rest without guilt, understanding that rest is productive when healing and clarity are required.
  • Honor my grief in whatever form it shows up, without rushing it or explaining it away.
  • Choose peace over being right, and disengage from arguments that cost me my calm.
  • Set firmer boundaries—not as punishment, but as protection.
  • Trust my instincts, even when others question them.
  • Release responsibility for fixing people or situations that are not mine to carry.
  • Make space for joy without waiting for permission, even in the midst of hard seasons.
  • Speak to myself with the same kindness I offer others, especially on the days I fall short.
  • Celebrate progress, not perfection.
  • Believe that good things can arrive softly, without chaos or struggle attached.

This year isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about returning to myself—steadier, braver, and more at ease.

See you next year!
