It's looking at you and telling you the truth: "You did the best you could with what you had."And to keep standing, in the middle of everything, is also a form of strength.
And from there, without disguising anything and without punishing yourself more, you can decide something simple but powerful: take better care of yourself. Listening to you more. Don't keep playing hard to get with what's asking for care inside.
Instead of making a wish list on December 31, 2025 I made a list of my mistakes, asking God for forgiveness. Thanks to a very dear friend who is Rosicrucian who invited me to make her. We have lost our way as humanity in many aspects and I am also involved and responsible for it.
If I can help repair something in this world, I will do it, starting with my closest circle. A daily action is worth a thousand words. This helped me a lot in that, there are still a few things that I haven't achieved, and I think it's easier this way not only to ask for forgiveness but to forgive myself.
Accept emotions, all in their entirety, learning the positive side of them even if it's hard for us to believe it, the more we continue in the fantasy of social networks the worse, the more we search for the truth.
For this year it would also be good to learn to live alone with ourselves and leave that teaching or unfounded belief of the collective that to be well we must have a partner. Once we have learned to live well alone, to understand that alone we can be serene, calm, at peace, happy, because if someone comes into our lives to add joy, be welcome, but if he leaves: we already know that we can be well alone.
Sometimes it's not that you don't set limits. It's just that every time you try, you back out. You say to yourself: “It's not worth it”, “I'd better not make a mess”, “I'll see later”. And so you keep carrying things that you don't want to carry anymore.
I also think that the purpose of this new year is to learn how to manage negative emotions. It seems a lie but I have been seeing these last few days a lot of positive emotions like joy, life that is impossible on social networks.
Definitely to the extent that we accept negative emotions such as sadness, for example, who makes us understand that sadness has its positive side because it makes us reflect, anxiety puts us in search mode, boredom makes us more creative, anger protects and somehow we get closer to the truth, at least to our truth.
This is also how a year ends and begins: with truth. Happy new year 2026! The best for each of you. Thank you for being and for always following me, on my blog.
A big hug for you!
