Dearest VIP member and friend

It's almost 2026 and as I sit here writing this email to you I am filled with love and gratitude for all this year has brought.

Christmas has been full of laughter and tears, joy and happiness and most of all, family and friends...

and I am looking forward to all this next year will bring.

I was reading a post earlier this morning (on Instagram: @psychologyposts_ ) about how you can look at this past year and determine whether January starts with momentum or chaos and thought I would share some of its insights here. Let me know what you think.

Let's Get Ready for 2026

In a notebook jot down the following over the last 7 days of 2025. There's a set of considerations/tasks for each day.

DAY 1 Your year audit:

• Your three biggest wins this year
• Your three biggest lessons (include failures)
• What drained your energy
• What gave you energy

This shows what to repeat and what to cut in 2026.

DAY 2 Your completion list:

• Projects that need finishing
• Conversations you need to have
• Purchases you need to make
• Decisions that need closing

This will help you go into 2026 with a clean slate.

DAY 3 Your relationship reset:

• Send a message to the 5 people who made a difference to you this year
• Have the one conversation you have been avoiding
• Let go of 1 toxic relationship
• Schedule time with loved ones early January

Start with the right people in 2026.

DAY 4 Your heath check:

• Make your health check-up appointments for January
• Buy some good food
• Set up your workout space
• Get the 7-8 hours of sleep you need

Your mind, body and health are important.

DAY 5 Your money audit:

• Earnings in 2025
• Spending in 2025
• Unnecessary spending
• Realistic money goals for 2026

If you measure it, you can improve it.

Day 6 Your digital reset:

• Unfollow toxic or draining accounts
• Follow those who inspire, sharpen and motivate you
• Fill your feed with fountains

Your digital life shapes your thinking, your mindset and your mood.

DAY 7 2026 map of the year:

• Choose 3 main goals
• Break them down into three-monthly milestones
• Identify the first step for each goal
• Schedule January's key activities
• Set up a way to track

Planning always makes a difference... we all need a roadmap of sorts to get us to where we want to be, how we want to feel and who we want to share our lives with. I hope this little task helps you.

Beautiful Book Quotes to Make You Feel...

I bought these pretty classic stories from a wonderful small business on Instagram (@sweepeaandlittlewolf) back in November with some of the birthday money my mum gave me. They are absolutely beautiful and they each have a quote from the story on the back cover which I wanted to share with you.

Wuthering Heights: "He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

Anne of Green Gables: "Life is worth living as log as there's a laugh in it."

Oliver Twist: "Please, sir, I want some more."

The Nutcracker and The Mouse King: "The strangest adventures often begin when the clock strikes midnight."

A Christmas Carol: "I will honour Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year."

The Little Prince: "The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart."

I hope you make some beautiful heartfelt connections with your reading in 2026 and that you find time to read... which one of these quotes most resonates with you?

And So We Say Goodbye to 2025

Wishing you all lots of success and moments of peace, love and happiness as you bridge who you are now to who you'll become in 2026 and can't wait to see what the next twelve months brings.

Lots of love, happy reading and Happy New Year!!!
