This Is The Year

Is it time to stop neglecting and start choosing yourself?

There wasn’t a “Your Best Year” episode this year, but I just couldn’t let this year end without creating something for the new year. So here is something to start the new year with! It’s "This Is The Year."

Publishing this episode also means we start 2026 with episode 600!!! Thank you so much for listening to Affirmation Pod

This is the year.

It's the year I own up to areas I haven't made a change but a change would do me good.

This is the year I live the life I want to live.

It's the year that anyone can look at my schedule and see I'm doing things that cultivate happiness.

My happiness.

This is the year I put up boundaries to protect my energy and my peace.

It's the year I consider new opportunities and say yes to ones that make sense for me.

It's the year I choose growth over comfort.

Yes,

It means I am stepping outside my comfort zone.

I can handle the emotions,

The thoughts,

And the reactions that come with being well outside my comfort zone.

This is going to be a great year for connecting with myself,

Building a stronger,

More loving relationship with myself,

And to simply being good and compassionate with myself.

This is the year I practice resilience.

This is the year I do what it takes to stay grounded.

This is the year I attract supportive people and supportive experiences.

This is the year I listen more for the needs,

Feelings,

And experiences of others.

This is the year I practice empathy,

Boundaries,

And follow-up.

This is the year I'll be quick to pause everything when I need to listen and care for myself.

This is the year I feel better,

I look better,

And I do better.

For myself,

For my loved ones,

And for my community.
