2026 Ins and Outs

As the start of 2026 has arrived firstly I am proud of us for surviving this year no matter how difficult it has been. For a lot of people new year solutions can be toxic so to still reflect on the year and move forward for the better here are some things I am keeping in 2025 and some things that are going straight in the bin. Hopefully this may help us think about what's to come next without any pressure. 

Ins:

• Drink lots of water (I do not do this enough)

• Lowering screen time because without social media you are happier, you have found out

• Arranging to see friends because they bring a lot of happiness into your world

• Never stop trusting your gut, it has always been right

• Remembering how much impact you have 

• Photobooths because they capture the most special moments

• Hobbies because they keep you sane

• Reading reading and moreeee reading

• Comfort over anything meaning what you wear, where you go and who you choose to be around

• Not changing or adapting yourself to fit in with others

• Keep romanticising life

• Solo dates because you love your own company 

Outs:

• Not making my bed, it starts the day better if you do

• Gossip, never gets you anywhere 

• Putting my energy into people where it is not reciprocated 

• Having an answer to everything, sometimes not knowing is better

• Keeping old clothes just in case (you were never going to wear them)

• Procrastination, just do it now or never

• Scrolling in a morning and before bed

• Rushing, why do I always feel I am in a rush 

• Aligning with a narrative, we are all on different paths
