Life Lately: Using January Review to Live More Intentionally

At the end of last year, I spent some time recapping 2025, and I really enjoyed the process: I went through my calendar and my camera roll and looked back to see all the different things that happened. It was super helpful (I can't ever remember what I did yesterday, let alone what I did 3 months ago LOL), and inspired me to move into this year more intentionally!

When I set up my 2026 calendar, I created a space to do a review each month, vs waiting till the end of the year.

On Jan 31, I went through my January - I looked at my pictures and my calendar, thought about my habits and practices, projects I worked on, etc. I was almost surprised to come up with as many things as I did! There were some things I was really proud of, and I made sure to notice the places where I had FUN, plus areas where I would like to focus more on.

Key happenings in January 2026:

Taught my 200th class at @502PowerYoga!
I was sick at the beginning of the month 🤧😒 (just a cold/respiratory thing)
I cleared off my PILE, which is a basket that I literally moved from our old house in 2017 - there was some very old stuff in there! (part of my Creating Space/Clearing out 2026 efforts!)
A surprise party for P! 🥳

❄ SNOW (Hank is not a fan of his booties 😩)
Getting back into a consistent yoga practice, including SEVEN sunrise (5:45/6am) classes, which I've never really done (bonus coffee shop time after!)
A Paint and Sip event to celebrate a friend's birthday - super fun!
I sent out a weekly MacDonald Wellness newsletter which I haven't done in years! Sign up here if you're interested in getting it!
