A Moment to Pause and Reflect
As 2026 approaches, it’s easy to think in terms of goals, resolutions, and external markers of success. But making the most of the year ahead isn’t just about doing more, it’s about becoming more intentional with where you place your energy, attention, and effort. The questions below are designed to help you pause, reflect, and choose a direction that aligns with the person you want to be by the end of 2026.
How to Make the Most of 2026
- If I picture myself at the end of 2026 as the best, most genuine version of who I can be, what bold step or growth would make me say, ‘Yeah, I really lived up to what I’m capable of’?
- What part of my life feels ready for a shake-up right now, and what small, steady habits could I start to build momentum for that change?
- What fears or beliefs have been holding me back for too long, and how can I push myself, gently but firmly, past them this year?
- When I think about looking back on 2026, what’s the one thing I want to say I’ve done for myself or the people around me that really mattered?
- How can I keep chasing success without losing the things that actually make life worth it, like my health, happiness, and the people I care about?
- If my future self could give me advice right now, what would they tell me about the smartest, most meaningful way to invest in myself this year?
Bonus question:
What’s one simple habit I could start that lets me slow down, take a breath, and think about what I really want, even if it’s just five minutes a week?
