Hi Gorgeous,
It’s officially February. We’re already in the second month of 2026 and there is a lot on the horizon for this month to take advantage of that will accelerate your life in ways you’ve never experienced. For this month’s newsletter, I am sharing a different perspective on how to make this year different from previous years of your life through the focus of a topic that is truly the key to life.
Something I noticed over the years is that a lot of us get caught in the trap of telling ourselves that this year WILL be different from the last - only to end up still falling short of our goals, stuck in the same habit loops, and still questioning why we aren’t where we want to be yet.
Personally, this was the story of my life. Every year, I would set ambitious goals for myself only to fall short of them. Sometimes, I would end up getting nowhere by the end of the year. For example, I had the idea of starting this business on my heart since 2020, but I didn’t actually take action on it until 2023. Or, last year I set out on a bridal glow up journey, only to find myself feeling more stuck than ever and back to square one by the end of the year. The point is, there have been so many goals I’ve set over the years that I either didn’t act on, made progress but couldn’t sustain it permanently, or was trying everything and anything but couldn’t get where I wanted to go.
And then...it hit me. I've spent a lot of time since my initial spiritual awakening honing in on the science of unconditional self-love and how it relates to success in life. Now that I've seen the difference, I couldn’t help but share this information once I realized how vital it is to creating your dream life.
The reality is, making 2026 different than previous years isn’t about trying someone else’s method to get your dream body, or leaving one job to find better career success in a new job. Unfortunately, just “manifesting” it by journaling about it and doing a visualization practice every morning doesn't cut it either.
The thing that really moves the needle and creates the deepest level of identity shifts (so that your success ends up being permanent and a part of who you are) is unconditional self-love.
Why might you ask? Well, I have a ton of reasons I could share with you, but for the sake of not making this email hundreds of pages long, I am going to share with you one of the biggest a-ha reasons I found.
The Law of Focus - otherwise known as - what you focus on expands. What I came to realize is that when we lack self-love, a big component of that is that we tend to be REALLY hard on ourselves. We want change so badly, that we end up beating ourselves up when we feel like we aren’t moving fast enough. Don’t even get me started on how magnified this gets when you are caught in the comparison trap of comparing yourself to where other people are at.
I noticed that a huge thing keeping me stuck in life was that I was always focusing on how I wasn’t where I wanted to be yet, that nothing I ever did was enough because I was still so far off from where I wanted to be. I was always focused on how stuck I was, so of course, that meant I would continue to stay stuck. I Law of Focused myself into a never-ending cycle of “I’m not there yet” or the dreaded in between.
But then I realized, I made this out to be a negative thing, when it didn't have to be.
It wasn’t that I needed to move faster, but if I wanted to truly progress, I had to start appreciating where I was at, to start enjoying the journey - to be in my PURSUIT era.
Because when you are able to appreciate where you’re at and how far you’ve come, it takes off the pressure you put on yourself and it stops the endless reprimanding dialogue in your mind. Then, that appreciation for yourself propels you onto the beautiful journey of self-love.
