What I want to cultivate in 2026 ⬇️
🩵 Focused work + focused rest/play - I guess this is the grown-up version of what we called “work hard, play hard” in college? 😂 I wasn’t good at it then and I’m not now, but it’s one of the top things I’m trying to change this year, in part because it's so important for fending off burnout.
🩵 Connection, online + in-person - The older we get, the more time and effort it seems to take to maintain relationships, but it’s never not worth it. I was lucky to meet a lot of great people last year, to travel with friends multiple times, to continue teaching online yoga to an amazing group, and to stay in touch with a lot of friends all year long. Here’s to more of that in 2026. 💞
🩵 A balance between staying informed & protecting my peace - Like many of you I’m sure, I want to follow the news all the time, but I also cannot follow the news all the time. 😣 I’m still looking for a balance I can feel good about.
🩵 Routine (my never-ending struggle!) - No surprise, moving around so much makes it hard to maintain a consistent schedule. 😜 But I do my best to keep some semblance of the same routine, no matter where we’re at. And I’ll be working to double-down on that in 2026.
🩵 More time in nature, on trails & on the water - I never don’t feel better after spending time outside, and finding that joy is more important these days than ever. Ryan & I are already planning some fun Montana winter adventures for next month. ❄️
What are you cultivating this year?
