Every new year asks us two questionsâquestions most people rush past:
What is truly meant to come with me into the next chapter?
And what am I still carrying thatâs no longer part of my story?
This isnât about fixing yourself or creating a ânew you.â
Itâs about choosing what gets to shape your futureâŚand what no longer earns space in it.
So todayâs gift is an invitation to pause, breathe, and sort through the pieces of your life with honesty and courage.
What Iâm Taking Into 2026:
Ask yourself:
- What strengths did I earn, not just inherit?
- What beliefs or habits have genuinely supported my growth this year?
- Which relationships feel reciprocal, steady, and aligned?
- What qualities in me feel sharper, wiser, more grounded?
- What do I want more of because it makes me feel alive?
This list becomes your foundationâyour momentumâyour non-negotiable energy heading into the next chapter.
What Iâm Shedding Before 2026:
Dig into this one slowly:
- What drains me emotionally, mentally, or spiritually?
- Where have I been shrinking to keep the peace?
- Which patterns keep me stuck in loops Iâm tired of repeating?
- What expectations or roles no longer fit the woman Iâm evolving into?
- What am I done apologizing for?
Remember: shedding isnât loss.
It's liberation. đŤ
