I’m settling into the new year and realised I don’t need a long list of goals to panic over. Does that kind of pressure ever really motivate anyone? Instead, I’m thinking about how I want to show up. If I had to choose one word for 2026, it’s ACTION.

Last year didn’t always go as planned. Some things were out of my control, but the hard truth is that often I held back, decisions felt “heavy,” I stayed in “learning mode,” as if I didn’t know enough to make a move. But really, that was just delaying responsibility and not showing up for myself.

This year feels different. I want to stop consuming and start building, even if it means committing to fewer things, but doing them properly. Small daily steps add up. Decisions and actions made now echo for months, even years. So, let’s go!

What’s your word for the year?
