Day 13 of 2026- Waking Up In The Middle Of The Night

 Hi Friends,

So I have been waking up in the middle of the night. I am usually a very good sleeper and have no problem staying asleep, but too much work stress does that to you. So I am naturally more tired today.

It is honestly kind of funny though, because my brain chooses the most random time to wake me up. Not 6:00 AM when I actually need to be productive. No, it is always like 2:00 AM, as if my brain is like, “Hey, remember everything you need to do? Let’s think about it right now.”

Then I just lay there staring at the ceiling, suddenly convinced I need to reorganize my entire life, reply to emails that do not even exist, and come up with a brand new routine at 2 in the morning. The worst part is the next day when I am walking around acting normal, but I am really running on vibes and caffeine.

But it is okay. I am choosing to blame it on stress and not the fact that I overthink everything. Hopefully tonight I can go back to sleeping like a normal person because I really do not want a membership to the 2 AM Stress Club.

At this point, I just need my brain to stop being so motivated at night and save that energy for the morning.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 12 of 2026- Making It Through The Day

 Hi Friends,

Sunday did end up being a long day, and the moment I hit my bed I was out. Then suddenly it was 5:00 this morning and my body was awake before my mind was ready.

So now it’s Monday, and I’m already exhausted.

Not the normal “I need coffee” tired. I mean the kind of tired where even simple things feel heavy. The kind where you wake up and you can already feel the day asking for more than you have to give.

And honestly, it made me feel a little down.

There’s something about starting the week like this that messes with your head. It’s only Monday, and I already feel behind. I already feel drained. I keep thinking I should be more motivated, more productive, more ready. But instead, I’m running on low energy and trying to act like everything is normal.

Today I realized something important though. Some Mondays are not meant for huge wins. Some Mondays are just meant for getting through the day.

So I gave myself permission to take it slower. I didn’t try to fix my mood right away or force motivation to magically show up. I focused on doing one thing at a time. I focused on what was in front of me, not everything waiting for me.

Because showing up still counts, even when you are tired. Even when you feel a little off. Even when it is only Monday.

Tomorrow is another chance. But for now, I’m proud I made it through today.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 11 of 2026- Less Sleep Day

 Hi Friends,

Oh Sunday, and it’s a super busy one for me. Really busy.

I started the day with less sleep, so I already knew it was going to be difficult. You know that feeling when you’re tired before the day even begins? Yeah, that kind of Sunday.

So what do you do on a difficult Sunday when you already know next week is going to be super busy too? You take a minute and give yourself a pep talk.

Not the dramatic kind. Just a real one. The kind where you remind yourself that you don’t need to solve the whole week today. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to get through what’s next.

That’s what I kept telling myself. Don’t look too far ahead. Don’t panic about everything waiting for you. Just focus on the next step. What’s the next thing on my list? What’s the next thing I can finish? What’s the next task I can handle right now?

Because when you’re overwhelmed, thinking about everything at once makes it feel impossible. But when you shrink it down to “what’s next,” it becomes manageable. One small win turns into another, and suddenly you’re not stuck anymore.

So today I’m not chasing perfect. I’m not trying to be ahead. I’m just trying to get through the day one moment at a time, one task at a time, focusing only on what’s next.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 10 of 2026- 100% Rain

 Hi Friends,

So the weather forecast for my area is 100% rain, and I honestly love that for a Saturday, even though I have tons of errands to run. Rainy days make us want to sleep in, get cozy, and not do much, if anything at all.

Still, I found it really refreshing to step out this morning when there was a slight drizzle. The air felt cleaner, the streets were quieter, and everything looked a little softer, like the world hit a gentle reset button overnight. Even the usual rush seemed to slow down, and I didn’t mind it one bit.

I know rain can feel inconvenient, especially when you have a packed to do list, but today it feels like an excuse to take things a little slower. I’m going to run my errands, but without the pressure to rush. Maybe I’ll treat myself to a warm drink after, or come home and light a candle and just enjoy the sound of the rain tapping on the windows.

Some days are for sunshine and energy. And some days are for softness. Today feels like the second one, and I’m totally okay with that.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 9 of 2026- Happy Friday

 Hi Friends,

It’s certainly been a very busy week for me, as I’m sure it has been for you as well, but I’m glad it’s finally Friday. This week came with its fair share of challenges, deadlines, and long days, but it was also productive and rewarding in many ways. 

Moments like these are a good reminder of how much can be accomplished with focus, perseverance, and teamwork. As the week comes to a close, I’m looking forward to taking a step back, recharging, and reflecting on everything that was accomplished. I hope the weekend offers you a chance to rest, reset, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime before the week ahead.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 8 of 2026-One Week In

 Hi Friends,

One week into 2026, how are you feeling?

The start of a new year always carries a mix of excitement and pressure. New goals, fresh intentions, and that quiet voice asking us to “get it right” this time. But a week in, this is your gentle reminder: progress matters more than perfection.

If you set health goals this year how’s that going? Have you moved your body, even a little? Chosen rest when you needed it? Nourished yourself in ways that feel supportive, not restrictive? Every small effort counts more than you think.

And if things haven’t gone exactly as planned, that’s okay too. One week doesn’t define your year. You’re allowed to reset, adjust, and begin again any day, any moment.

So check in with yourself today. How is your heart? Your energy? Your mindset?

2026 isn’t asking you to be flawless. It’s asking you to show up, one step at a time.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 7 of 2026- Happy Mid Week

 Hi Friends,

Happy midweek! I hope your week is going well so far and that you’re finding moments to enjoy yourself, in one way or another.

One of the great things about starting a new year is the reminders that show up at just the right time. Today, I came across this quote:

“Your path is at your feet whether you realize it or not.” — Agnes Martin

What a powerful thought. Your path this year is literally beneath you. Every step you take matters. Going to the gym when you don’t feel like it. Choosing to meet with people who uplift and support you. Showing up for your goals, even in small ways. Every action places another stone on the path you’re creating.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the big picture or unsure about where life is heading. But this quote reminds us that clarity doesn’t always come first movement does. You don’t need to see the entire road ahead. You just need to take the next step.

Keep moving forward. Trust that each choice you make is shaping where you’re meant to go.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
