People calm down with hugs. They often feel more loved too.
Hugs are free to give to people too.
So maybe make it part of your 2026 plan to give out more hugs than last year.

Be Willing To Work
Everyone wants an easy route to success. Sit on the beach, drink Mai-Tai’s and let the wins pile up.
That would be great!
It’s not really realistic though. I suppose a few people could organise their situation to have this happen. Though I doubt it would work for most people.
Recall music or sports managers or agents that have ripped off people. You can outsource work, but you had better be very tightly managing the outsource activity. Trust but verify – daily! At worst you could do it weekly. But do not leave it longer than that.

Plan. Begin. Pivot. Continue.
This is how most of life goes.
You have a wish, desire or goal. You develop a little or big plan to achieve that goal. Then you start out all excited trying to achieve your goal.
Things then happen and you often will find out you need to pivot at that point.
From there it may all be fine so you can continue. However, if it is not all fine, you may need to pivot again.
Then repeat this process for everything you do in life. It’s that simple.

Mind Reading
Do you do this often? You decide why someone did something. It could be your spouse, a political leader, your boss or your child, but you believe you know why they did something.
Your opinion, your guess, your assumption, is now fact, at least in your mind.
Just remember, this says more about you, than them. It tells us how you think and what is in the realm of what you might do.
Sometimes it is better if you don’t express your opinion of how you believe others think.
