The Most Important Question

What’s the one word that describes how you want this year to feel?

It’s pretty simple, but it’s really important. Because it will change how everything unfolds, how the year will feel.

If you have an amazing experience this year, all the things you do, everything is impacted by it. How you’re going about doing it, it changes everything.

So just get ahead of that and put some thinking behind it. That one single word.

Finding Your Word

So here’s my question for you.

What’s your one word for 2026?

Take some time with this. Think about how you want to feel this year. Not what you want to accomplish, but how you want to be while you’re doing all the things you’ll do.

Your word might be:

• Adventure
• Ease
• Joy
• Courage
• Flow
• Bold
• Grounded
• Wild
• Peace
• Present

Or something completely different that resonates with you.

The key is that it should feel alive when you say it. It should be something that gets your energy going, something you can return to when making decisions throughout the year.

And remember, this word isn’t just about feeling good. It’s about how you’re going to approach everything you do. It’s the lens through which you’ll make your art, live your life, and show up in the world.
