Instead of resolutions that feel like homework, these questions help you pause and choose what you want next year to actually feel like. Curl yourself up in a blanket, your favorite candle, some coffee or tea, and answer these slowly. This is your check-in with yourself.
What am I most proud of this year? (even small wins)
When did I feel most like myself?
What drained me the most?
Where did I grow without realizing it?
What relationships supported me, and which ones exhausted me?
What did I avoid this year, and why?
What did I learn about my boundaries?
What habits made my life easier?
What version of myself am I becoming?
What do I want next year to feel like?
This list isn’t about performance, but about clarity. I would love to hear what next year, 2026, looks like for you.
