What Keeps You Focused?
Think about what setting or space helps you to stay in the right mood or helps get you motivated to achieve your goals? Share with the community how you focus on your goals, and see what inspiration arises.
For me, what keeps me focused on my goals is sitting down in a calm space alone with my calendar/journal and pens, with some music in the background (sometimes upbeat, sometimes mellow depending on my energy level), where I can review what I've done, what's coming up, and how to break up my goal into smaller steps that I can then fit into my schedule.
What are your Top 3 Goals in 2026?
Let us support you! Be specific as possible to more easily manifest it. These can include life goals, business goals, and habits you're thinking about or visualizing for this year.

@Anna Choi yes, I am a big believer in the importance of sleep! Getting to bed at a healthy hour most nights, or enjoying a siesta later on to make sure I get enough hours. 🛌🏽

@Anna Choi I wrote a couple short, picture book stories about lessons that plants in the garden have taught me over the years. This year I will be figuring out how to publish, and turn them into something I can share. ✨️
What are your New Year's Intentions?
I’m not one for New Years Resolutions- I rather prefer to set intentions. Some might argue that there the same, but the framing, for me, is the difference. How about you? Do you make a list of New Year’s resolutions? Or intentions? Share them if you like, or any thoughts on them!
I generally do take time in this season to review last year's planner while I transfer what I want to keep into the next. I enjoy putting pen to paper, and also take time to do some writing, dreaming/ imagining what I'd like in the short term and long term, from which I can see what goals stand out important for me in the coming year. For 2026, a theme or intention for the year that has jumped out at me is "Create," and I am excited to allow and prioritize taking time to create art and to craft.
@Lori Theriault I have a collection of them, and sometimes choosing what to work on or do is the sticking point for me! 🤣 I mostly enjoy practicing knitting and crocheting, sewing, drawing, writing, and tinkering around in the garden and with its harvests, like making herb-infused mixes to enjoy!
Restraint (a value I'm learning to name)
Lately, I’ve been rolling the word restraint around in my brain, heart, and tongue. I’m leaning into the uncomfortable yet deliciousness of it, like a hard lemon candy. By restraint, I don't mean holding back Love. I don't mean politeness, making myself smaller, or silence. I mean holding Love wisely. The kind of restraint that lives in the pause between the impulse and intervention; the kind that resists the urge to smooth over, fix, rescue, or explain. It trusts people with their own dignity. Restraint is choosing not to make myself the center of every moment of care. It is the choice not to rush in, not to fill the silence, and not to force resolution, protecting what is trying to surface and the relationship holding it. I'm learning that restraint is what keeps True Hospitality from becoming control. It is presence without intrusion, care with boundaries, and Love that lets everyone Be. In my life, restraint has often been misunderstood as indifference, overlooked in systems that reward urgency, and taken advantage of by people who assume calm means endless capacity. And still, I am choosing it. Because restraint isn't weakness. It's strength under conscious direction. It is an ethical stance and a form of leadership I have quietly learned to trust through practice, beneath my conscious awareness. This process is uncomfortable. It is precise. Once tasted, it is hard to give up. Where in your life are you practicing restraint without calling it that? And what might change if you trusted it as a strength?
@Monica Downen very thought provoking question. I particularly like how you described a "kind of restraint that lives in the pause..." I think that this pause and restraint relates well to the practice of building awareness and observation of the current moment that I've experienced in this community. Restraint can be a very powerful and grounding tool to help expand the space between something happening and us reacting to it💫.
Before you Set 2026 Goals . . .
If you haven't already, be sure take a fully day to truly reflect over the last year and revel in all your growth from the past year. Often I see students who "finish" vs "complete" their year, rushing off to the next accomplishment. This is a big missed opportunity my clients often miss. Consider that without a deep dive to reflect, you can subconsciously run the same pattern into the new year getting the same incremental results, rather than truly building and creating unexpected results you couldn't even imagine. Catch the replay of our "Winter Solstice Integration and 365 Bows" workshop where we go through these 2025 reflection questions starting at 12:20:
Thank you for guiding this reflection and intention setting for the end of the year! I'm a little late to the party... lol, just extending the new year out through the lunar new year! 😉 @Anna Choi that is quite an impressive practice you have to send out the old year. Thank you for sharing your 365 bows!
