Ins and Outs for 2026

I love this trend that replaces the same old boring (and unachievable) resolutions with an “In and Out” list for the year. So after some reflection, here is mine:

In

Making space

Speaking the truth

Rest

Creating to play

Crying

Reading children’s books as spiritual direction

Pausing before saying yes

Humility

Side quests

Slowness

Delight

Out

equating busyness with self-worth

People pleasing

Phone time

Creating to perform

Holding back tears

Unnecessary urgency

Comparing myself to others

Desiring the praise and credit

Rushing the ending

Taking myself too seriously

What is on your ins and outs list?
