There’s always a moment in December where the truth hits you: Something has to shift. It’s not drama — it’s awareness. And awareness is the doorway to change. If you had to release ONE thing before 2026 begins… what would it be?

New here! I’m a nutrition and wellness coach. I live in Wisconsin USA and I thrive off of connections! Let’s get to know each-other. Here is an anxiety hack for ya today When you feel that panic spark… move. Your body and brain need a new dynamic to break the cycle. • Do 10 pushups • Jog in place for 20 seconds • Hit a round of jumping jacks Then breathe. Slow. Deep. Controlled. You shift your body. Your nervous system follows. What’s your go-to move when anxiety hits?

Greetings fellow empowered beings!! :) As we're approaching this last month, let's take a look at the past year (things we've achieved, lessons we've learned, things we've left behind and added) and let's use that to mobilize us in this next month. Let's use this last month of the year to build momentum and get a running start into 2026. We don't have to wait.... We treat January like it has magical powers when really it is just a month with better PR. Psychologically speaking, December is prime time for momentum building. It is the month where the brain naturally shifts into reflection mode, which means insight is already simmering and it might make it the perfect time to launch! A lot of people experience SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) in the winter months--- so I think that it's really really important to look at the habits that we engage in and how this either contributes, reinforces or helps ease this effect. (side note--with my clients in Michigan, I start having conversations about this in September because the weather here along with the habits really influence people's experiences for 6 months at a time!! We can't control the weather, BUT we can do things differently). *****So, how are you using December and what are your intentions? *****How will you use this past year as a way to move into the next? Here are some questions to consider as you look back on your past year (questions are part of an AAR (After Action Review). 1. What did we intend to accomplish (what was our strategy)? 2. What did we do (how did we execute relative to our strategy)? 3. Why did it happen that way (why was there a difference between strategy and execution)? 4. What will we do to adapt our strategy or refine our execution for a better outcome OR how do we repeat our success?

The best thing I’ve ever done is gotten married and had 2 beautiful children. The next best thing I’ve ever done is realize there was more to this world than being strapped to a desk for 40+ hours a week working for someone else. I was 33 when I discovered this path. At first I started this journey because I wanted to provide even more for my family and have more time freedom, aka make more money to do what I want, when I wanted. But it’s more about that now. Entrepreneurship is the greatest vessel towards personal growth IMO. It’s really a testament to how much you want the thing. The sacrifices you are willing to trade. When I first started this journey I remember telling my wife ‘I’m willing to sacrifice Tuesday nights, Thursday nights and some weekend time to make this work’ LOL 😂 I was so naive The habit I wish I knew sooner was value creation for others. So I am spending all my time now trying to better understand that, and deliver it more frequently. What’s the one habit you wish you built sooner?

I hope this helps some of your crew @Georgiana D I know this has been such a confusing topic for so many of my people, on skool And in person! https://open.substack.com/pub/joshhaag/p/bulking-vs-cutting-the-no-bs-guide?r=4bjill&utm_medium=ios
