Day 6 of 2026- Good Day

 Hi Friends,

Just wishing you a good end or a good start to your day wherever you’re reading this from. The beginning of the workweek can feel overwhelming. There’s usually a lot going on: emails piling up, deadlines staring back at you, and that familiar feeling of trying to catch your breath before the week really begins.

But take a moment to pause. Friends, we can do this.

We’ve been here before. We did this last year at the start of the year, and the years before that. We figured things out then, one task at a time, one day at a time and we’ll do it again now. You don’t need to have everything perfectly planned or solved today. Progress, not perfection, is what matters.

So go easy on yourself. Take things step by step. They add up more than you think.

You’ve handled hard days before, and you’re stronger for it. This week is just another opportunity to show up, try your best, and keep moving forward.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 5 of 2026-Monday Motivation

 Hi Friends,

As we begin this workweek, here’s a little motivation to kick-start your first full week back at work and into your regular routine.

“Discipline morphs into habit.” — Twyla Tharp

Getting started and staying disciplined may feel difficult this morning, and that’s completely normal. The key is to show up anyway. Choose discipline, even when motivation is low. As you push through this week and the next few, those intentional choices will begin to feel easier. Over time, what once took effort will become habit and that habit will carry you forward.

Start small, stay consistent, and trust the process.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 4 of 2026- Hello Sunday

 Hi Friends,

I came across this quote today:

“Saying farewell is also a bold and powerful beginning.” — Aron Ralston

And it feels especially fitting for a Sunday.

Sundays aren’t just the end of the weekend, they’re a pause. A moment to reflect before a new week begins. As we transition back into a full week after the holidays, take today to do three intentional things.

First, reset your mindset, especially if you’ve been out of routine for a while. How you use today shapes how you show up tomorrow.

Second, think about the powerful beginning waiting for you this week. New weeks don’t start with pressure they start with possibility.

And third, say the farewells that are necessary to things, habits, and even people that no longer serve you. Not every goodbye needs to be spoken out loud or said to someone’s face. Some farewells are quiet, internal, and just for you.

Because sometimes, saying goodbye isn’t an ending at all. It’s the quiet start of something stronger.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 3 of 2026- First Saturday Of 2026

 Hi Friends,

There is something meaningful about the first Saturday of the year. It feels like a quiet reset before life speeds up again. Not a moment for pressure or big promises, but a chance to be intentional with how you begin.

This weekend is a great time to put up a few new habits. Not the kind that overwhelm you, but simple ones you can actually enjoy. Maybe it is starting your morning slowly. Maybe it is planning your week with clarity instead of stress. Maybe it is moving your body, reading, or creating space to rest without guilt.

At the same time, this weekend is also about taking things down. Look at what did not work for you last year. The habits that drained you. The routines that felt forced. The ways you kept saying yes when you needed to say no. You do not have to carry those into another year just because they are familiar.

Like decorations, habits can be seasonal. You are allowed to take them down when they no longer fit your life. Use this first weekend to notice what supports you and what weighs you down.

Put up what helps you feel grounded. Take down what does not. Let this weekend set the tone for a year built with intention, one small choice at a time.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 2 of 2026- Taking It Down

 Hi Friends,

So today, while I was running a few errands, I noticed that many of the Christmas decorations were already coming down. There was something a little sad about it another reminder that the holidays are over. But almost immediately, I realized how temporary that feeling is. Before we know it, the year will fly by, and those same decorations will be going right back up again.

As I thought more about putting decorations up and taking them down, it struck me how closely this mirrors our own lives. Every year, we carry things with us habits, thoughts, responsibilities, expectations, and even emotional weight. Some of it serves us, and some of it doesn’t.

So here we are, on January 2nd. This is your reminder that it’s time to take down what you’ve been carrying from 2025 that no longer serves you. The stress you normalized. The doubt you allowed to linger. The habits that drained you. Just because you “put up with it” last year doesn’t mean it deserves space in the new one.

Like decorations, some things are only meant for a season. Take them down. Pack them away. Or better yet, let them go completely. Make room for what brings clarity, peace, and growth because what you choose to carry forward will shape the year ahead.

What are you ready to take down?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 1 of 2026- Happy New Year

 Hi Friends,

Happy 2026! Here you are at the start of a brand new chapter of your book. It is exciting, maybe a little nerve-wracking, and possibly filled with fear of the unknown. No one knows exactly what this year will bring, and that uncertainty can feel overwhelming. But when you combine hope, courage, and bravery with every small step you take, you are already setting yourself up for a year you will be proud to reflect on.

Today, let’s pause and enjoy the turning of a new subtitle in our lives. A fresh year is not just about new goals or resolutions. It is about presence. Start by being grateful that you made it here. Take a moment to acknowledge that you are still standing, still growing, still learning. And do not forget to wish yourself a happy new year. You deserve that kindness from yourself first.

Now, take an honest and open look at where you are today. Sit quietly with yourself and write down what comes to mind without judgment. You have grown in ways you may not even realize yet. Compared to 2025, you are not the same person, and that is something worth honoring. Write down how you have grown, whether it is through resilience, patience, confidence, or compassion.

Focus on the best parts of that growth. Look in the mirror and notice who is standing there now. Who is she or he compared to a year ago? What challenges were faced and survived? What lessons were learned? What do you see that is new, strong, and beautiful? Carry that awareness with you as you step forward into 2026, knowing that you are already becoming the person you are meant to be.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 365 of 2025- Goodbye 2025

 Hi Friends,

Happy last day of 2025, and I hope you all have a wonderful New Year’s Eve. I am so grateful for those who have read my blog, and I am thankful for being able to write every single day. I write what’s in my heart and hope it has brought you inspiration, smiles, or even just a moment of reflection.

I am also grateful for this year. It has definitely been a year of shedding and realizing many things. I wish all of you the very best and hope that you end the year today with a smile, joy, and a sense of looking forward. Take the lessons of 2025 into 2026, but keep your eyes on what’s ahead.

Be grateful, and know that no matter what, you made it through this year—and you will make it through the next, and many more to come. Today, make a wish, pray if that’s something you do, or simply take a few quiet minutes to yourself and reflect. You have come far, my friend yes, you have.

Goodbye, 2025. Thank you for everything.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita
