From Reflection to Radiance: Stepping into 2026 with Joy & Becoming
The final hours of the year arrive quietly, like a whispered invitation.
An ending…yes.
But more so: a threshold.
Before we leap into 2026, I believe in taking a moment to honor the passage, reflecting on who we were, and celebrating who we are becoming.
Rather than tallying accomplishments or chasing resolutions, what if we reflected from the soul?
Ask yourself:
✨ When did I feel most myself this year?
✨ Where did I grow braver, softer, wiser?
✨ What brought me joy, even in hard moments?
Every version of you from this year— the tired one, the courageous one, the one who kept showing up anyway, deserves gratitude.
Joyful Self-Expression for the New Year
As we cross into 2026, joy longs for expression, not perfection.
Joy might look like:
Wearing the clothes that light you up
Dancing more, worrying less
Speaking your truth without apology
Creating simply because your soul wants to
Your life is not meant to be a masterpiece hung untouched on a wall.
It’s meant to be lived as art, messy brushstrokes and all.
Releasing Practice
Before midnight:
🖊 Write one thing you are ready to release.
🖊 Write one word that symbolizes how you want to live in 2026.
Let that word guide you, not as pressure, but as permission.
As the calendar turns, remember:
You are not beginning as a blank slate. You are beginning as wisdom wrapped in experience, courage stitched with grace.
May 2026 be the year you choose:
Intention over overwhelm
Positivity over perfection
Joyful self-expression over quiet conformity
Because your becoming deserves to be bold, beautiful… and fully you.
Here’s to a year Rooted in Soul. Wrapped in Joy. ✨
