01/05/2026
Today was my first practice on my mat for 2026. I like slower root or yin classes on Sundays to re-set my body and mind for the week ahead. Kim’s message today also really resonated with me (along with hugs, smiles, affirmation cards, and essential oil stones!)
Totally paraphrased and based on my interpretation of what she shared…
“As the new year begins, remember life doesn’t move in straight lines or neat chapters. It moves in contrasts.
Things you choose - and things you would never wish for.
Joy - and hard times.
Goals that stretch you - and events that strengthen you.
Magical moments - and everyday routines.
These contrasts sit side by side, quietly shaping you with purpose. Remember there are still good things unfolding and light ahead working gently in your favor.”
If you are entering 2026 head first and confident with a new sense of purpose? Good for you!
And if you are entering 2026 more gingerly and cautious with mustered hopeful optimism? Good for you!
Make peace with the fact this year, like all others, will have contrasts. Your job is to let them sit side by side. 💗
Let me know your biggest challenge entering the new year in the comments below. I’d love to address them in an upcoming Catalyst Cues blog!
