2026- Goals, commitments, plans, dreams...

2026  

The word for this year is: CONSISTENCY   

Now, let's write what I need to do More, what I need to do less, and what I need to keep doing: 

DO MORE: 

-Art: 
-Collages. Need to find more time to make new paper collages. 
-Photography: Need to bring back the tours around the city to take photos

 -Reading: Make a new list of books you would like to read in 2026 

-Yoga/Meditation: continue with breathing and meditation and YOGA

-Gym: work out, run, do weights, keep your body fit and healthy

-Breathing: This was a life changer in 2025. Breathing helped me with anxiety, overthinking and helped me sleep. 



DO LESS: 

-Iphone scrolling 
-Iphone scrolling 
-Iphone scrolling 
-Sugar consumption 

-Less Comparing myself to others (this is a form of self abuse! every time I compare myself to others, I put my self down and the others in a pedestal, even though I know nothing about them, is all based on what I see and perceive. 

-AVOID Depression: 

-The summers in our neighborhood are always foggy, dark and gloomy. Instead of working from home, drive to a sunny area of the city and find a coffee shop to work from. 
More Sun less Fog! 

-During the weekends, go to the Mission to paint from Doug's art studio. 

-Bookclub: People take trips or vacations during the summer. If you notice that the attendance to the bookclub is low, remember, is always low during the summer. If you see that a member that you had connected with left or did not return, is OK. Is nothing you did wrong, people come and go. Just be patience and don't put yourself down thinking they left because of you. 


CONTINUE: 

-Painting, working in the new series of oil paintings. Don't detour, be consistent. 
-Painting the acrylic abstract new series that started with 3iAtlas 
-Make a list of all the painting ideas, and make a plan for them. 
-Improving your career in insurance, finish the CIC Designation 
-Writing, and keeping this journal. Is ok if you write bad or in a hurry, get it all out. Delete or fix later. Remember, is for you and you only.
