Do you ever feel like everything you do has a reason: to seek validation, to belong, to feel connected?⁠
⁠
You follow the rules, meet expectations, and hit deadlines, all so others are happy with you.⁠
Because maybe then, you’ll finally feel worthy of their love, their interest, their approval.⁠
⁠
For many who struggle with anxiety and perfectionism, it becomes the norm to do more so as to earn one's place, earn others' admiration, and finally be seen. ⁠
⁠
Recalculating means realizing that you do not have to prove or earn people's worth. This doesn't mean you don't care if people respect you or love you. It is more about not makign other's opinion about you dictate how you feel about yourself. If you show up authentically and have good values, you start to know your worth. Others will start to see it too.⁠

When you choose progress over perfection, self-reflection and goal setting become less about correcting yourself and more about evolving.
Because your shortcomings aren’t flaws to fix or mistakes to correct; they’re part of you.

And when you realize what’s no longer working for you, you get to choose not to carry it forward.

As we move through the first month of 2026 and hopefully begin to catch our breath after the holiday season, let’s be intentional about what we leave behind, so that each day, we show up more authentically, with more self-love, and with a life that feels more easeful and enjoyable.

💫 Save this for the days you need permission to go slower.

What if this year isn’t about adding more to your plate—but simplifying?

When you’re an anxious perfectionist, your mind is always saying “do more,” never “do less.”
It never says, “that’s too much” or “you’ve done enough.”

Your mind is constantly reviewing and reorganizing your to-do list, your goals, your dreams.
Yes, we all have aspirations. And with a new year often comes a sense of reset—a fresh motivation to start over. None of that is bad.

But let’s be honest: the way you approach the new year and set goals often has very little to do with being productive or responsible…
and everything to do with chasing perfection and everything to do with proving your worth.

January 2026.
A new year. New ideas, new places, new memories.
Some will be breathtaking. Some may be heartbreaking.
There will be wins—and let’s be honest—there will be losses too.

As this year unfolds, I hope you remember your most important and precious assignment:
to love your imperfect self, perfectly.

What are the imperfect parts of you that need more love, understanding, and empathy?
Maybe it’s the way you lose your patience when you’re overwhelmed.
Maybe it’s how you procrastinate or shut down when things feel like too much.
Maybe it’s avoiding confrontation or saying yes when you really want to say no, because you don’t want to disappoint others.

We all have these parts—because being imperfect is part of being human.

So what does it mean to love your imperfect self perfectly?
For me, it looks like showing up with grace, compassion, and courage—again and again.
It means pausing and noticing my emotions, even when there’s a strong urge to get lost in them.
It means finding balance so I can be more present in my life.

What does loving your imperfect self perfectly look like for you?

There are things I forget to remember when the day-to-day responsibilities get the best of me. I get caught up in the to-do lists, the next tasks, the deadlines… and before I know it, I am consumed with anxiety and overwhelm. Not long after, my inner critic shows up too—bringing self-criticism and comparison along with it.

As I step into a new year, yes, I still set goals. I won’t pretend I don’t. But I’m reminding myself that even when they’re values-based, those goals do not define my life or my worth.

In 2026, I want to remember:
✨ to trust the process, so I can tolerate uncertainty with more grace and courage.
✨ that things don’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. If when my journey is messy, it is authentic.
✨ to be grateful for the present moment, so I’m not living in guilt about the past or worry about the future

And most of all, to always remember: all is welll

New Year Intention (Not a Resolution) ✨

If you’re highly functioning but constantly anxious, New Year’s resolutions often become another way to pressure yourself.

This year, try an intention instead—something that supports your nervous system, not your inner critic.

My intention for the new year:

✨ I will stop waiting to feel good enough and decide that I already am.
✨ I will stop comparing my life to others and stay rooted in my own lane.
✨ I will allow myself to be authentic instead of impressive.
✨ I will give myself permission to make mistakes without punishment.
✨ I will prioritize goals based on my values—not my fears, urgency, or need for approval.

This isn’t about doing more or becoming better.
It’s about unlearning the habits that keep you stuck in perfectionism.

The new year doesn’t require a perfected version of you—
just a more honest, self-compassionate one 🤍

Save this if you’re choosing intention over pressure this year.

2025 has taught me a lot, and I am thankful for all the lessons. To be honest, some of those lessons were quite challenging, and at times I found myself wishing I hadn't needed to learn them. But, no matter what the path looked like to get to those lessons, they all have one thing in common: to give myself the same compassion, love, and grace I give to others so unconditionally.

In 2025, I learned...
💫 That asking for help doesn't mean I am incompetent, clueless, or not enough. It simply means that I am stuck and can learn from someone else's wisdom and life experience.

💫 That no matter how much I have grown and thrived, I am still a work in progress and some days feel more challenging than others.

💫 That loving my mistakes doesn't mean I am not willing to take accountability or responsibility. It simply makes it easier to move forward when I approach my mistakes with compassion and curiosity.

💫 That saying no doesn't mean I don't care or that I'm being difficult. It is simply being honest with myself on what I can and can not do so that I don't end up overextending myself.

I know not every lesson we learn is easy, or the path to learning them is soft or gentle, but I hope 2025 was good to you and may 2026 be more gentle and loving...happy new year 💓

Word of the Year 2026 ✨

If you’re an anxious perfectionist, choosing a word (not a rigid resolution) can help you step out of the cycle of pressure, self-criticism, and over-control.

Your word isn’t about becoming better.
It’s about becoming truer to yourself 🤍

Here are a few words to consider for 2026:

✨ Letting Go — releasing control, timelines, and the need to get it “right”
✨ Authenticity — choosing honesty over performance
✨ Balance — honoring rest and ambition without guilt
✨ Imperfect — allowing progress to be messy and human
✨ Self-Compassion — speaking to yourself with kindness, especially when you fall short
✨ Surrender — trusting that not everything needs fixing or forcing

Let your word guide how you respond to stress, mistakes, and uncertainty—not how much you accomplish.

2026 doesn’t need a perfected version of you.
It needs a regulated, self-accepting, imperfect one ✨

💬 Which word are you choosing?
Save this for when perfectionism gets loud.
