Happy New Year! Everyone in the chat is aligned that 2026 officially started two days ago, on the first Monday of the year. For those of us who are Jewish, the New Year started in September in the 3336, 425 BCE. The Lunar New Year ushers in the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17th. The Astrological New Year starts in Aries on Spring equinox—March 20th.

By now, your algorithm is swollen with directives— what to fix, what to optimize, how to manifest the life of your dreams by this time next week. Some of it is thoughtful (you know who you are), most of it more agitating than encouraging. More overwhelming than motivational.

This year, I’m offering a different recommendation: Pause.

Brb, we are breaking the reaction cycle.

Now if you care to join me, I will be rebranding until further notice. Are you with me? We will likely be literally (and figuratively) rearranging the furniture for the better half of January.
