Setting Intentions as we Head Toward the End of 2026
Can you believe the shops already have their Christmas stock out here in Australia?!! It feels like as soon as October rolls in, we’re being rushed headfirst into the end-of-year season. This time of year can be full of excitement... but it can also be stressful, overwhelming, and draining if we’re not careful. That’s where setting intentions becomes so powerful. Intentions are different to goals or to-do lists. They’re about choosing the energy and focus you want to bring into your days, no matter what’s happening around you. They help us stay grounded, especially when life feels busy and full. Setting intentions is how I keep my resilience levels steady. It’s not just about surviving the festive season, it’s about finding ways to thrive through it... to enjoy connection, create space for joy, and protect my energy. Here’s a little action for you this week: Take 5 minutes to set 2–3 intentions to carry you through the next few weeks. Maybe it’s “I am going to slow down and enjoy time with family,” or “I intend to take care of my body with rest and good food,” or even as simple as “I intend to stay calm and patient.” Keep them somewhere you’ll see often like on a sticky note, in your daily journal, or even as your phone background. I’d love to hear what one intention you’re setting as we head into this busy season?
