The unhinged habits helped the most😅

This year held grief, growth, wins I didn’t see coming, and not so helpful habits that kept things looking “successful” on the outside but I ignored my capacity on the inside.

Some things grounded me.
Some things nearly broke me.
Most of 2025 trial and error taught me something important.

The biggest lesson? I’m not here to force myself into systems that weren’t built for my nervous system.

I’m taking compassion, regulation, connection, boundaries, and “doing the thing anyway” into 2026.
And leaving behind anything that requires self-abandonment to sustain.

Share the most unhinged habits you’re taking into 2026.

On paper, it was a big year. 🏆
And it still didn’t always feel how I thought it would.

Imposter syndrome wasn’t about not being capable.
It showed up as over-functioning.
Over-explaining.
Following “shoulds” instead of listening to my capacity.

I pushed past myself to keep things moving.
Hired Va support that overpromised.
Ignored early red flags in “supportive” colleagues who turned out doing the opposite.
Told myself that pushing myself and struggling with the mental load was just part of growth.

It became a year of trial and error.
Of learning where my energy leaked, my boundaries were bent.
And realising that no amount of external success can replace self-trust or compensate for ignored capacity.

The biggest shift came toward the end of the year
when I stopped chasing momentum and started prioritising regulation.

2025 wasn’t about success. It was about learning how not to abandon myself while building.

If this resonated, follow for the reset, the kind that doesn’t require burning everything down.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

However today looks.
However it feels.
And however much energy you have to meet it.

If today brings connection, that’s lovely.
If it brings rest, that matters too.
If it brings mixed emotions, quiet moments, or simply getting through the day, that still counts.

May there be space for joy where it fits.
Space for rest where it’s needed.
And room for everything in between. 🤍🎄
