Welcome to 2026: A Year I’m Choosing to Be More Intentional

As I step into 2026, I’m not thinking about big resolutions or overnight transformations. I’m thinking about clarity. About slowing down just enough to be honest with myself about what matters and what doesn’t anymore.

The past few years have been a reminder of how easily life can become overcrowded. Work expectations grow, responsibilities quietly pile up, and before you realise it, you’re carrying far more than you ever agreed to. Somewhere along the way, balance becomes blurry and simply getting through the week starts to feel like an achievement.

This year, I want to ask better questions.

What am I building?
Why am I building it?
And does the effort I’m putting in actually align with the life I want to live?

For me, 2026 isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing things with intention. It’s about setting boundaries, protecting my energy, and being more selective with where my time goes. I want growth that feels sustainable, not draining. Progress that doesn’t come at the cost of my well-being.

I’m choosing to be more comfortable saying no. More comfortable slowing down. And more willing to step away from paths that no longer feel right, even if they look good on paper.

This year, success won’t be defined by how busy I am, but by how aligned I feel. By whether my work, my goals, and my daily actions move me closer to a life that feels meaningful, not just productive.

Here’s to 2026 — a year of clearer thinking, stronger choices, and building a future that actually feels worth waking up for.

Happy New Year.
