A 3-Step Process for a New Year with Intention (Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026)

As we approach the final days of 2025, it’s the perfect time to step into the New Year with clarity, intention, and mindfulness.

Today’s Mindful Monday is all about a simple but powerful three-step process to help you transition into 2026. This isn't about rigid New Year's resolutions that often feel like burdens; instead, it’s about honoring your journey and putting your dreams out into the world.

The 3-Step Mindful Transition

Grab a journal and a quiet cup of tea. Give yourself the gift of twenty minutes to work through these three stages:

Step 1: Celebrate Your "Brags" 🏆

Take a moment to write down everything you can celebrate from 2025. What did you do that was amazing, beautiful, or right? We often focus on what we didn't get done, but right now, I want you to focus on your successes. Don't be shy—write down those wins, big and small!

Step 2: Express Your Gratitude 🙏

List everything you are grateful for from this past year. Think about the experiences you had, the people who supported you, and the quiet moments that touched your heart. Gratitude is the bridge that carries us from the past into a positive future.

Step 3: Map Out Your Dreams for 2026 🌟

Write down your intentions, goals, and desires for the coming year. Don't worry about the "how" or the "why" right now. Just let yourself dream! Whether it’s a new career path, a deeper relationship, a travel goal, or simply a specific state of being—like "more peace" or "more presence"—put it on the list.

Why Intentions Matter

Making time for this process shows that you value your own growth and happiness. You deserve the space to dream and set a conscious path for the year ahead. When we write our dreams down, we move them from the back of our minds into the realm of possibility.

If you want to encourage your friends and family to enter 2026 with intention, please share this post with them!

I hope you have a beautiful week and a very Happy New Year. Namaste.
