The end of the year can feel like a mad sprint to the finish line… or a slow, exhausting crawl if you’re running on fumes. So here is a smarter way to wrap up 2025 and create momentum for 2026, because we want to end the year strong, not stressed.
Do you know what gets me excited at this time of year?
I get excited about finishing the year intentionally.
Because we don’t need to reach the end of the year exhausted from pushing too hard, or stressed about how the new one will start. I did that for decades, and honestly, it is no fun for anyone!
It is possible to end the year strong, not stresssed.
Right now is the perfect time to pause, zoom out, and set yourself up for an easier end to 2025 and a more profitable 2026.
So grab a pen and notebook, find a comfy spot, and take some undistracted time to reflect on these questions to help you end the year strong, not stressed:
- What’s important for me to complete before the end of the year?
- How do I want to feel at the end of this year? And what will create that?
- What worked well this year?
- What drained my time and energy? And how can I shift that?
- What actions will set up a strong start to 2026?
These may sound simple, but they can bring real clarity. Helping you focus with confidence on what truly matters as things get busy.
So often we overcomplicate this time of year. We pile on unrealistic expectations, endless “should dos” and “must dos” and tie our happiness or success to ticking every box.
Stop it. 🛑
That pattern comes at a cost. A cost to your business, your health, and your wellbeing.
You don’t need to break yourself to prove you’re successful. You absolutely can end the year strong, not stressed. It just takes being much more intentional to make it happen.
Simplify. Focus on the actions that genuinely create the results you want.
Here’s to your meaningful success, 💫
With gratitude,
Kim.
