HELLO, 2026
What’s YEAR ONE? I’m glad you asked.
In Numerology, 2026 is a significant year.
Let’s do the math…
Add up all the digits in the year: 2+0+2+6 = 10
10 then reduces to a single digit. And that’s the number 1.
Number 1 is associated with all kinds of good things – like being first, being best, being at the top. It also signifies this:
A new beginning
A fresh start
An opportunity to launch into the life of your dreams
Now, here’s the main thought I want you to focus upon during this particular new year:
You CAN have and do and be all you desire.
Sound good? Then let’s begin with today’s Baby Step…
BABY STEP
Every year, for as long as I’d been teaching Qigong (circa 2013), I’ve selected a “word of the year.” You can check out my philosophy behind it HERE.
This yearly ritual is how I define the course of my new year. Choosing a word helps to point me in the right direction – the direction that serves me best.
It’s a guiding light when Life gets a little dark.
It’s an anchor when I start to drift away from my goals.
It’s a joyful reminder of the awesomeness yet to come.
While I was being COZY (#word of the year 2025) last year, one particular word popped into my brain numerous times and on numerous occasions…
GOLDEN
I love the way it sounds and I love what it implies. You see, “gold” is good as a noun to label something. But GOLDEN is even better. As an adjective, it describes the state of being pure gold…steeped in it and infused with it.
The robots running the internet these days describe the term "Golden Age" as a metaphor for a period of peak achievement, prosperity, and happiness where peace and harmony were the norm and abundance was a natural result.
Sounds pretty damn good to me! So, as I sashay into 2026, I have developed my personal blueprint:
I will remain GOLDEN by remaining present.
And I’ll do that with the support of the number ONE. (Click the links for more Baby Step tips!)
And I’ll begin by repeating this ONE affirmation every chance I get:
I’M GOLDEN.
What’s yours?
PS Be sure to include your word of the year in all you do…daily visibility trains your brain!
