Hey There 👋 

Happy Better Yourself Friday! 🎉 We’ve reached the final Friday of December and just like that, another year is coming to a close, it’s truly so surreal. Before we rush into plans, goals, and resolutions, let’s take a moment to pause and acknowledge something important. You made it through 2025. 🌟 This year came with its highs, its lessons, and moments that tested your resilience but it also came with growth, progress, and opportunities that shaped who you’re becoming.

Whether your wins felt big or small, visible or personal, they all count. As we look forward towards 2026, remember that a new year does not mean starting from scratch, rather it means starting stronger. With the lessons you’ve learned, the connections you’ve built, and the resilience you’ve gained, you’re already better prepared for what’s ahead. Thus, take the time to envision the year you want to create.

Think about the habits you want to build, the opportunities you want to explore, and the version of yourself you’re working toward. One small intention today can shape an entire year. Before we meet again in the following year, we’d like to wish you a happy, productive and year filled with prosperity. 🎁May this time give you space to recharge, reconnect, and step into the new year feeling grounded and hopeful.

So without further ado, here’s another installment of Better Yourself Friday

Let's Gerrit!

💡 Great Tips for Mahala

Although this does not apply to all of us and some people are genuinely excited and ready for the upcoming year, it is totally normal to feel a bit down in the dumps as the calendar flips. This article explains that the “New Year blues” can come from stress, high expectations, holiday exhaustion, and pressure to reflect or set big goals.

Even if we are surrounded by celebrations, these feelings aren’t uncommon, and with supportive habits and self-care, we can approach the year ahead with more hope and balance.
