WELCOME 2026
Welcome to 2026: Your Year of Intentional Self Care and Achievable Goals!
Happy New Year, beautiful people! Can you believe it's 2026 already? As we step into this fresh chapter, let's leave behind the overwhelm and embrace a year of intentionality, grace, and consistent progress. This isn't about grand, intimidating resolutions that fizzle out by February. This year, we're doing things differently. We're putting self care first, breaking down our aspirations, and celebrating every win, big or small.
The Yearly Vision: Dream Big, Then Break It Down
First things first: let's dream! What does an amazing 2026 look like for you? Grab a journal, open a document, or use a vision board to articulate every single thing you wish to accomplish this year. No idea is too big or too small. Jot it all down. This is your personal blueprint for the year, your North Star.
For us, at the heart of 2026, our overall goal is to be intentional about everything we do. This intention fuels our big aspirations:
Building our networking: Connecting with incredible minds and expanding our community.
Getting our podcast off the ground: Sharing valuable insights and inspiring conversations with the world.
Getting creative with getting funding: Innovating our approach to securing the resources we need to thrive.
Doubling the amount of people we assist this year: Reaching more individuals and making a greater impact.
The Power of Quarterly Sprints: Consistency Over Complexity
Now, here's where the magic happens. Instead of looking at that big list and feeling daunted, we're going to break it down into manageable quarterly tasks. Think of each quarter as a mini new year, a fresh start every three months. This approach helps prevent burnout and keeps consistency at the forefront.
Here’s how it works:
Review Your Yearly Vision: At the start of each quarter, look at your big goals for 2026.
Select Quarterly Focus: Choose specific, actionable tasks from your yearly vision that you can realistically achieve in the next three months. Don't try to cram everything in. Pick a few key areas to focus on.
Prioritize Self Care: This is non negotiable. Schedule in your self care activities first. Whether it's daily meditation, a weekly walk in nature, dedicated reading time, or simply saying "no" when you need to, make it a priority. When you're nourished, you're more effective.
