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 #1 – 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 isn’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.
s my hope is to model a different pattern and experience. I believe that pharma care lacks love of any living thing and is teaching us not to value ourselves. Therefore my hope of intention is to bring back love and care that is the bases for a healing outcome. When I work with nature in such a personal way I love it and would like to say feel the love back. This is the foundation I would like for healing and support. To take something that I feel appreciation for empowered by being a partner in the process of making it equals loving oneself!
Did you begin your new year drawing attention to your inner conflict and what you hate about yourself? If you did, what do you think your chances of success are when your focus is on what’s wrong with you versus what’s right with you?
