Hey Denny!
I’ve been feeling a bit stuck lately, trying to figure out what actually matters and what I should let go of. I love the way you break it down with those questions—it makes reflection feel doable instead of overwhelming. The part about noticing what gave me energy this year really stood out because I often ignore those little sparks. Definitely giving me a lot to think about as I head into 2026! Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Hi Denny,

Great information to end and start a year. Sometimes we forget that taking the time to reflect on what we’ve done and what we want to do is a simple task that can pay off its benefits in many ways.

I remember starting to do this years ago after a mentor had asked me: “what did you learn this year and what do you want to have happen in the new year?”.

Appreciate the reminder that this is something not only useful but necessary! All the best in 2026!

Hi Denny – This is a powerful reflection. I really appreciate how you shift the focus from resolutions to clarity, especially for those of us in midlife who are navigating change with more intention than urgency. The idea that resistance and energy can both serve as signals is such a helpful reframe, because it encourages honest self-assessment instead of pressure to push harder. These questions create space for wiser decisions in the new year rather than reactive ones, and that makes the message both grounding and encouraging. Happy New Year and cheers to your success!
