Be the Master Creator of your 2026 experience

The energies of 2026 will influence career, and the focus is on new beginnings at the core level. I suggest it will not be superficial rather connected to your root values. This is the year to definitely begin planning if you are not in the habit of it.

Turning intentions into doable goals in 5 easy, integrative steps

These are 5 fun and easy steps to activating the integration of intention and action in a meaningful way using a novel pattern to stimulate right and left brain functions with activities that can create life-enriching experiences and relationships.   Each step can be life-changing and integrative. Commit to spending time on each step before moving to the next one. 

STEP โ€“ THE FOUNDATION

Book time with yourself to focus your attention on your creative nature.  This step can be a private experience, shared with a friend group, or spent privately with a mentor. It can take up to two hours to lay out the image. Additional time to gather materials beforehand will be needed. 

  • This initial step will be stimulating. 
  • Let it digest for a minimum of three days before moving to step two.

What is stopping you from moving to a life of more joy?

Check out the archetypes below and find out what dominant pattern is yours

The thinker

The Thinker

  • If you hesitate, or if you believe you are not creative, go beyond this thought and gather together some magazines, glue, scissors and some paper and begin creating. Your thoughts are your learned behaviour from years of conditioning.
  • Create a collage mixing pictures and words that speak to you.
  • If you cannot devote this time, pause and make a commitment and do it anyway.  This is as important as eating, sleeping, and socializing. Perhaps even more important is the point of clarity and balance in our natures.  It is invaluable learning and guidance that comes from within.
Create with abandon

The artist

The Visionary

  • Gather the medium you wish to create with: such as water colours, oil, charcoal, etc.
  • Create a vision of your dreams
Create with abandon

The musician

The Musician

  • Gather music sheets, pencil/pen or instrument.
  • Create music for your dreams
  • Write a song reflecting your deepest desire for 2026.
Create with abandon

The physical

The Somatic Touch

  • Gather pen & paper and locate a place in nature that you can walk ALONE under and surrounded by trees.
    • Let this forest bath of smells, sounds & movement calm and slow down to connect to your inner desires for the coming year
    • Listening inside is a place one can go in nature easily when slowing down to create the space for it. Listening from inside can give you your best guidance.  Use this time to become quiet and let your inner desires be heard.  Remember to make notes afterwards so this experience isnโ€™t fleeting.

Finding out your archetype is the first step towards knowing and understanding your inner behaviour preferences and habits. Some of us will be thinkers, and our first response will be thought. We’ll speak from our memory, while others will be visionaries and their expression will be through images and creating picture stories. Some of us will be listeners, and we’ll hear the music. As we observe and consider our goals for 2026. While others of us will be physical and we will choose nature dance, exercise or running as a way to connect. Each of us is uniquely different in our makeup. So take a moment and do this pattern I’ve suggested, and that is guided to find out your archetype. This is the first step to creating a connected future that is connected from the inside out, versus being stimulated by the outside world and trends. Take time to enjoy the process. Breathe, and enjoy the process.

This connection to intention can then easily be turned into doable guided patterns incorporating universal values, characteristics and qualities in a novel and uncluttered way by creating new habits through the months and seasons.  The ease of learning is integrated through the experience from a simple guided pattern.  Awareness through creation that uses intention before focused action.

Balancing reactions through effective listening

Coaching people using empathic listening has open ended the spectrum of situationships. It’s not limited to business coaching, leadership coaching, life coaching, etc., etc. Having an array of different purposes in these sessions has been interesting (a huge personal need) and the style isn’t cheerleading. In my last post I shared the following: Peoples words matter to one’s ability to be in the energy they need to level up. If people are creating conflicts, doubts and sabatoshing your ideas through their feedback this is an obstacle in your ability to manifest it.

I repeated this as it is a common thread through all the situationships I have coached. In the coaching stage pettiness, revenge, anger, strategies to cause harm and rage surface. What I know for certain is that in order to lead a successful life at home and in business these reactions can’t be fed if they are ignited. I call them being in the frying pan of reaction. They need to be defused. That is if you want to have ease, balance and success.

As a business person can you imagine running a business and spending your time and energy on this shadow side versus building an empire. Imagine the quality of the energy within the empire that’s being built. I can’t imagine it’s life enriching. In employee, employers situationships this shadow side could cause irreparable damage to both the business and the staff. In relationships it can be devastating. On occasion it involves whole communities either work or family that I have observed is a quick burnout and crash.

What’s missing for counterbalancing the reaction stage is effective listening. This is not available through family or friends as the typical listening that our culture has set us up for is to increase the flames of the fire and not defuse it. Rather than logically review the actual facts that can be agreed upon to make a connection that results in positive outcomes, reactions escalate and outrageous strategies are put into play. Strategies that are hard to come back from, if ever. That is usually when I get a call. At the end of a relationship, at the end of one’s ability to tolerate circumstances etc. So the next time you find yourself in a situation of listening to someone who is in reaction consider what feedback you’re giving. Are you escalating the situation? If so, ask yourself why, it’s not your situation and neither party is at fault. It usually is a tragic expression of unmet needs. It becomes about you and is no longer about the person having the original reaction. This is the most important aspect of defusing early in the first stages. Why? Usually the original person with the reaction will process it on their own and you may find yourself in an uncomfortable situation. How many of us have had that experience? I remember needing empathy myself in my own relationship and speaking with friends. I would resolve it however my friends would always be unfavourable towards my partner. Ha. Listening, not fanning the flames.
