A New Year, A New Standard

New year means new vibes and a fresh start… right?
Not this year.

I’m stepping into 2026 as the new vibe and the fresh start—already grounded, already prepared. 2025 was my year of restoration, and as I move into 2026, I’m doing so with confidence in everything I’ve learned and already begun putting into action.

Choosing My Word for 2026: Discipline

With that said, my word for 2026 is discipline.

My tool belt is full—faith, resources, and lived experience. I lean on the truth that “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13). At this point, everything comes down to one thing: my discipline.

Discipline has always been my biggest challenge. While I’ve grown in this area over the years, 2025 proved to me that discipline is achievable. I went from being someone who couldn’t imagine going to the gym consistently—let alone lifting heavy weights—to the girlie showing up four to five times a week.

The mindset I built in the gym didn’t stay there. It spilled into my everyday life, shaping how I show up, stay committed, and follow through. Discipline is no longer something I chase—it’s something I practice.

The Gift of Restoration

The restoration I received in 2025 did more than rebuild my confidence. It brought back pure joy, excitement, and most importantly, clarity.

Clarity about life.
Clarity about what truly matters to me.
Clarity about the direction I want my life to go.

All of these things combined are setting the foundation for a beautiful 2026—and I can’t wait to take it by storm.

Looking Ahead

So tell me—
What are you excited for in 2026?
