Hey Reader, 👋
Since the start of January I’ve been guiding you through a little intention-setting process. Check out those newsletter here.​
The way you set yourself up for success in the new year (or whenever the rhythm of starting new strikes you 😉) is about owning your identity then choosing behaviors or a way of being that creates that identity.
Today brings those two elements together.
It’s not about doing more, it’s about sensing forward.
When you reconnect with your body, you stop the cycle of overthinking.
You make decisions from a place of inner knowing instead of questioning.
​
There’s one simple question that allows you to carry both the person you want to be and how you want to show up as that person into the coming year.
How do you want 2026 to feel… in your body, your days, your nervous system?​
​
You don’t need a full plan for your year.
You don’t need to know how it’s all going to come together.
​
Feelings come before the thinking that plans require. (We’ll leave the science of how this actually works for another email 🤓)
Plans can wait for later… maybe even until Spring 🙊.
For now, what’s necessary is courage.
Courage to take the small, brave steps over and over to create the way you want life to feel.
For me, the word that comes to mind is “spacious.”
Instead of feeling constriction persist when stress arrives at my door, I want to reconnect with the feeling of spaciousness, even in the tension.
This might look like…
🫶Eyes closed, hand to heart, breathe
🌳Moving myself outdoors to reset
⏸️Pausing before saying yes
🔍Turning down the focus on the details, zooming out to the big picture
⏩Slowing life down to 1x speed instead of 2 or 3x speed (IYKYK)
​
What if shaping the coming year wasn’t about fixing yourself, but instead gently adjusting what’s turned up or down?
Name one feeling or sensation.
​
What is one small brave step that would support that feeling this week?
​
Just one.
No pressure to do all the things all at once.
One courageous step.
If it helps, I recorded a short 5 minute meditation to help you sense into this question and shift into that feeling.

It’s not the rest of your life… just the next small courageous step towards how you want to feel. 🙏💚
Cheers,
