How Do You Want Your Year to Feel? (A Different Way to Think About the Year Ahead)

Описание: This is a quieter video than what we usually share. It’s not about goals or resolutions — just a few questions we’re using to think clearly about the year ahead.

Every December, we hear a lot about goals, resolutions, and changing your whole life.

That approach has never really worked for us.

Instead, as we thought about 2026, we asked ourselves a different set of questions — not about achievement or productivity, but about how we actually want to live the year.

In this video, we share the questions we’re using to shape our vision for 2026:

How we want the year to feel

What an ordinary day in October might actually look like

How we’d define a “successful” year looking back from December 31

What’s worth saying no to so the year doesn’t get away from us

We don’t have it figured out. We’re not offering a system or a solution.

These are simply questions that helped us get clearer — and we thought they might be useful to you too.

If you’d like to try the exercise yourself, we created a simple two-page worksheet you can download using the link below.

📌 ABOUT CLOSER TO HAPPY

Closer to Happy is a channel about clarity, intentional living, and choosing how you spend this season of life.

We share honest conversations about:

navigating change and reinvention

designing a life that feels aligned (not optimized)

living with more presence, authorship, and ease

travel, relocation, and global living — as context, not the point

This channel is for people who’ve lived full lives already and are asking quieter, more meaningful questions about what comes next.
