Hello friends of this beloved community, I truly hope your Christmas was filled with much peace and harmony. Starting a new year definitely means hoping it will be better than the last, that those goals and wishes we had written down or promised ourselves to pursue, this year we are willing to take the necessary steps to achieve them. My greatest goal is to be consistent with my habits, even the smallest ones that sometimes seem unimportant but are the ones that give us the push to give our best and feel good about who we are.
Why will 2026 be a better year than 2025 for you personally?
2026 comes loaded with many positive emotions—or at least that’s how I feel. I’m not someone who believes much in horoscopes, but sometimes I do feel like reading them and seeing what my supposed destiny might have prepared for me. According to astrologers, this year is my time to let go of the negative and of what was holding me back from fulfilling those dreams I have in mind. I think there’s a lot of truth in that because I had spent years feeling dimmed, with my spirits quite low, and I didn’t have the strength to feel I could achieve the things I wanted. In terms of my mental health, I wasn’t doing well at all.
After a long season of reflection, treatments, and doctors who helped me with my symptoms, I was able to understand that the power ultimately lies within me. Everything I allow into my mind or everything I tell myself is what will lead me to feel better or worse. It’s not easy to reach this understanding—it took me years to realize that I cannot control everything and that not everything is personal. Sometimes what life places in our path has a purpose, and I chose to stop seeing myself as a victim of circumstances and instead as someone who can and wants to move forward.
With this mindset and determination, I believe my 2026 will be better than 2025. I am more aware of the time I have, of the opportunities, of my abilities, and of the capacity I have to make things happen—but through actions, not just words that fade away with time. I feel stronger emotionally, I feel I can better manage my emotions and my way of thinking. I am grateful to have asked for the necessary help to save my mental health and not fall into any kind of addiction or pit from which I couldn’t later escape.
This year will be better because I have the willingness and mindset to know that I am capable of achieving everything I set out to do if I put in all the effort and determination. I want to continue studying, learning, I want to grow emotionally and spiritually. I want that when circumstances are difficult, I remember that I have come out of worse places and that it is only a moment. Everything is temporary, and that is why I will enjoy each day as if it were my last, as if every day were my final day—giving myself the opportunity to love who I am, to lean on my loved ones, and to be grateful at all times.
