Before the year turns
What just happened?
What reaction followed?
Did it arrive automatically?
Where did I learn this response?
Whose rule am I following right now?
Where is my attention going by default?
What am I assuming will happen next?
What future is that assumption preparing me for?
Is that the future I actually want?
Who has authority in this moment—me or the past?
What would choosing look like instead of reacting?
Wishing you a 2026 you actually chose.
