February 2026
I’m not sure about you, but February kinda wiped me out. I was (feeling like I was) deathly ill for 3 weeks following a decent gym injury. Most of the month was spent in bed, trying to stay up-to-date with classes and not lose my sanity. However, a quick shift in perspective with the help of a friend reframes it as “a detox and reminder to rest before the remainder of the year.” I like that a lot better. So, what do I encourage you to do for March? Let’s get into it.

1. The Snapshot
Essentially, most of the 28 days were stuck in bed trying not to die (again, I’m being dramatic, but I haven’t been that sick in a long while). I did, however, get the benefit of having the world’s greatest mama come to my aid for 5 days. I called her saying I missed her, and 16h later, she was in my apartment (mind you, a 9h flight and entire ocean in between us). But, I did get to enjoy some of the sun that the sky surprised us with this month, which was really nice and needed. Remembering to rest, relearning how to do nothing, and mentally fortifying against a needlessly wandering mind.
At the beginning of the year, I made a Vision Board for 2026, but also for each month of the year. That way, my goals are smaller and seem more manageable. I’ve replaced my Pinterest pictures for February to my own pictures. Every single goal on the February Vision Board, done… even if it’s a little different than I imagined it.
2. The Questions & Answers
What did I move closer to this month? I am working on my body’s resilience and ability to heal itself. While my immune system was put to the test this month, it is noticeably better than last year.
Where did I grow, even if results aren’t visible yet? I grew in meditation that didn’t look like meditation, but the quiet moments of remembering it’s okay to be still and silent and do nothing.
What am I most proud of? I PR’ed in the gym before my injury, doing a 1-rep deadlift of 75kg.
What’s no longer serving me? The belief that doing nothing is a waste of time. That rest is something you have to earn.
What’s the next right step? I believe I need to continue doing the work and trusting my body to take care of itself.
3. The Manifestations
Manifestation: I am capable of peace and moving through the busyness of life without being overwhelmed.
Action Plan: (1) Continue working towards the life I desire (2) Honor my body’s signals to rest or move (3) Anchor in my breath when I feel the stress rising
Limiting Beliefs to Let Go Of: (1) I am incapable of true peace (2) I am unable to be without stress in my body (3) I cannot take my goals to the next level
Daily Affirmation: I have access to the woman I want to be if I only just listen.
Visualizations: I see a healing body that rests and moves, I feel peace and gratefulness, I have a support system that loves me.
4. The Challenge
For the next 31 days, I challenge you to schedule time in your calendar to do nothing. Seriously. And actually nothing; not knitting while watching tv, answering emails you haven’t gotten to, or going through your wardrobe to sell old clothes. Literally nothing. Learn to be at ease in the discomfort of doing nothing. This world teaches us we have to always be busy, be doing something, to be productive. But what if doing absolutely nothing was productive? What if it gave our minds and bodies rest to come back stronger? What if it was the fuel that we needed to get better? Do nothing. And schedule it. Otherwise, you will never do nothing.
