Every January, I choose a word to live by. Not a resolution. Not a checklist. A word. A lens. Something I can hold up to my life and quietly ask, Am I moving in alignment with this?
This year, I didn’t land on just one. Three ideas found me instead, through books, yoga, and conversations that felt less like coincidence and more like choreography. They were: Never Disparaging, Abhyasa, and Owning My Time.
No, I don’t consider myself Buddhist. But I do consider myself a student of becoming better. And wisdom doesn’t care what shelf it’s on. 📚✨
Never Disparaging: Seeing the Divine in People (Including Myself)
I stumbled across the Buddhist concept of Never Disparaging in a book a friend gave me. The idea is simple but dangerous in the best way:
Treat every person as if they already carry wisdom, dignity, and worth. Even when they don’t act like it. Even when I don’t act like it.
This one hit different.
Because let’s be honest, sometimes we don’t just judge people. We narrate them. We shrink them. We freeze them in one moment and pretend that’s the whole story. And sometimes… we do that to ourselves too.
Never Disparaging asks me to move through the world like everyone is in progress, including me. No dismissing. No diminishing. Just respect. Even on the days when grace feels expensive.
That’s Soul Fitted energy.
Abhyasa: Practice Over Perfection
Then yoga handed me Abhyasa, which basically means steady, devoted practice over time. Not hustle. Not burnout. Not overnight glow-ups. Just consistent effort, even when motivation is on vacation.
This felt like a deep exhale.
Abhyasa reminds me that growth isn’t dramatic. It’s quiet. It’s showing up when the vibe is mid. It’s doing the work without needing applause. It’s trusting that small, daily deposits turn into generational wealth in the soul bank. 🧠💛
No perfection. Just presence. No pressure. Just progress.
Owning My Time: The Real Flex
The third concept came from a yoga video that casually dropped a line about controlling your time instead of letting time control you, and my spirit sat straight up.
Because time is the one resource we all pretend is unlimited… until it isn’t.
Owning my time doesn’t mean productivity culture. It doesn’t mean squeezing every minute until it cries. It means choosing intentionally. Saying yes on purpose. Saying no without guilt. Building a life that reflects my values instead of my calendar’s chaos.
Time, but make it sacred. ⏳✨
The 2026 Vibe: Respect. Practice. Presence.
So here I am, stepping into 2026 embodying all three:
-
Never Disparaging how I see people
-
Abhyasa how I show up for myself
-
Ownership of Time how I move through my days
Not as rules. Not as pressure. But as posture. As rhythm. As lifestyle.
This isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about becoming more me, without apology, without rush, without shrinking.
Soul Fitted has always been about alignment. And this year, alignment looks like respect, consistency, and intention.
Not bad for three words that found me instead of the other way around. 🌱✨
