7 years. One notebook at a time.
Before I look forward, I look back.
Seven years ago I started journaling as part of my health journey. Not to “manifest” or optimize—just to survive one honest page a day. Over time, the pages did what willpower couldn’t.
What the journals taught me:
Patterns beat motivation
Small questions > big goals
You don’t fix your life, you audit it
Progress hides in boring consistency
Writing clarifies what thinking distorts
Most breakthroughs didn’t come from doing more.
They came from subtracting what wasn’t aligned.
Before setting intentions for 2026, I reread old entries:
What worked?
What broke me?
What quietly saved me?
Reflection is leverage.
Happy 2026.
May you look back before you look forward.
