holy moly it's 2026, Reader!
​
yet honestly ... not much feels like it's changed for me!

NYE kinda just happened and flowed right into what felt like a normal day for me ...

still living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

still going to the beach, playing volleyball, eating tacos, and living a lazy life of leisure

no "new year new me" energy over here (though i do love the collective excitement in the air!)

​
of course lots HAS evolved and unfolded over the past year

as i've been revealing while being nose deep in my journal doing my yearly reflection and intention setting practice (these questions are DEEP y'all, they take time!)

​>> grab the exact 2026 new year journal prompts i'm using here if you're in a reflecting mood too 💕 <<​
​

one of my favorite prompts from this practice asks:

"What habits, practices, and mindsets helped support my favourite self last year, and what did I learn about prioritizing them?"

a huge one for me?

​
​my non negotiable sacred morning time

what started as a simple "phone off at 9pm, not back on til 9am" rule has evolved into something way more intuitive

now i just turn my phone on when i feel centered and my mind, body and soul feel nourished

​
i call it my magical morning menu (because it's definitely not a rigid routine anymore!)

it flows with my cycle, my energy, and honestly - whatever construction or maintenance is happening outside my window that day 😅

it's a collection of practices i already know help me feel grounded, connected, and protected

and i pick and choose which ones feel most supportive each day!

• sometimes that's pulling Tarot cards then writing out my wednesday wins and celebrating myself with my chocolate cafecito
• sometimes it's reading in my hammock chair before a gentle pilates flow
• sometimes it's mirror affirmations then standing on my rooftop in the hero pose absorbing solar energy
• sometimes it's 100 jumps on the spot and a dumbbell booty circuit that leaves me sweaty and in need of an everything shower

​
maybe for you it's not morning routines

maybe it's your evening wind down ritual of tea and a book

or your daily hot girl walks

or your weekly taco dates (okay that last one might just be me again 🌮)

​
what matters is identifying those little practices that make you feel like the YOU that you know deserves a big hug!

(and actually giving yourself permission to prioritize them!)

​
so those are some things i'm bringing with me into 2026 - what about you?

anything you already know is worth your time and attention this year?

​
with love,
