Peaceful Vibes

What’s your word of the year for 2026?

I stood there for a moment, thinking, as the brunette girl who had just complimented my outfit asked me the question.

At first, I wanted to say freedom.
But it didn’t quite land.

Something else wanted to come forward.
Something quieter. Softer. Deeper.

Peace.

If I’m really honest, that’s what I want to manifest this year.
Not chaos disguised as excitement.
Not healing that feels like constant excavation.
Not survival mode dressed up as productivity.

Peace.

Peace financially.
Peace with my choices.
Peace in my relationships.
Peace within myself.

Setting an intention is only part one.
The real work is what comes next — taking aligned action.

That means taking inventory of your life and gently noticing what doesn’t bring you peace. Not judging it. Not shaming yourself for outgrowing it. Just lovingly releasing it to make space for what actually regulates your nervous system.

It looks like letting go of outdated beliefs about who you are and who others should be.
It looks like forgiveness — not for them, but for you.
It looks like healing without constantly reopening the wound.
It looks like using the wisdom of the past to make more mindful choices in the present.

Peace is appreciation for what is.
Presence.
Breathing.
Coming back into the body.

For me, that means getting back to yoga and meditation — not as a performance, but as a homecoming.
It means focusing more intentionally on building my business.
It means choosing rest without guilt.
It means making myself the priority again.

Peace isn’t passive.
It’s deliberate.
It’s brave.
It’s choosing alignment over adrenaline.

So that’s my word for 2026.

What’s yours?
