Taking Stock Sets You Free

An inventory to guide you to holistic balance as we move into 2026

Moving into a new cycle always feels quite profound for me - regardless of if it’s the Solstice, an astrological cycle coming to an end, a birthday or a New Year - I think these moments can be so poignant not only because our own personal energy is signifying that there is a marking in time, but because there is also the collective agreement too.

I try and go into the New Year gently without too many expectations. I do a vision board around November that gets tweaked around January if I feel there are things that are no longer aligned. Manifestation techniques like these are all well and good but I’ve found they don’t really do much at all if you aren’t taking time to self reflect and analyse your behaviour. Taking inventory literally saved and changed my life. Taking inventory of the way I act in the world, for me, has been the most life changing tool that I’ve ever committed to. I know no one really likes being honest and staring themselves in the face, but without the facts how can you ever expect long lasting change? It just is not possible.

Over the years I’ve tried many different stock taking tools for the new cycle, but none as powerful as this one.
