What life lesson would you tell your younger self?
A common theme I noticed in 2025:

Everyone is craving more connection.

Use these friend nights to make it happen in 2026.

Send this to the people you want to do these with.

Been thinking about this a lot lately.

Don't let a bad 5 minutes ruin a perfectly good 24 hours.

Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

I’m going analog for 2026.

Don’t get me wrong—I still want to have an internet presence and use Spotify from time to time.

But I am making a conscious effort to live more of my life offline.

That means:

Reading real books.
Writing things down in a journal.
Leaving my phone at home for walks and coffee runs.
Taking photos on film and getting them developed. 
Buying albums on vinyl instead of streaming everything.
Meeting friends for coffee instead of catching up over DMs.
Using the internet intentionally, not reflexively.

Not trying to go full Luddite here. 

Just realizing that most of what I actually want to do: deep conversations, creative thinking, being present—happens when I'm not staring at a screen.

Who’s with me?

A reframe about health I can't stop thinking about:

“If you switched bodies with the person you love most for a year, how would you take care of their mind & body knowing you'd be giving it back to them? How would you take care of that person you love the most? Now do that for you.”

This idea came at the perfect time for me.

I spent the last week moving into a new apartment.

The good news is I love it.

The bad news is that in the heat of moving, my healthy habits went completely out the window.

UberEats for every meal.
Hardly any gym.
Sleep schedule trashed.

I'm cutting myself some slack because moving is a nightmare. But there's a pattern here I can't ignore:

Whenever life gets hectic, my health habits are always the first thing to slide.

This reframe was the kick in the butt I needed to get back on track.

And the next time I catch myself slipping into this pattern (because there will be a next time), I'll be coming back to this question.

I saw this on Substack and loved it.

There's a big difference between feeling your emotions and being your emotions.

The former is healthy.
The latter, not so much.

Because when you start saying things like “I am anxious” or “I am lazy,” you're not just describing a passing state.

You're telling yourself a story about who you are.

You're turning a temporary feeling into a permanent fixture of your identity.

And the more you repeat this story, the more it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A small shift in language helps break that loop.

P.S. Anxiety disorders are real (I know from experience). This reframe doesn’t solve that, but it can still help.

Did you know 40% of Americans didn’t read a single book last year?

I’m not saying you have to read a book every single week. 

But I am saying it’s way easier than you think.

How to do a hard reset on your life before 2026
5 ways to actually practice gratitude in your life:

1. Look for glimmers
Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. They're those tiny moments in your day that make you feel joy, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for them, they start appearing everywhere.

2. Snap a joy photo
Take one picture per day of something that brought you joy. A cup of coffee, a funny street sign, the way the sunlight hits your desk. Not for social media—just for you.

3. Say it when you feel it
When someone does something you appreciate, actually tell them. Doesn't have to be profound. Just: "I'm glad you're in my life" or "Thanks for always making me laugh."

4. Practice future nostalgia
Throughout your day, pause and ask: "Will I miss this moment someday?" Your current morning routine, the commute you complain about, even your kid's phase of asking "why?" fifty times a day.

5. Add an upside to your complaints
If you catch yourself venting about something, tack on one small silver lining. "This weather is awful…but at least I get to wear my favorite jacket."

This quote isn’t really about envelopes.

Well it is, but it’s about so much more than that.

The lesson: Just because something can be outsourced doesn't mean it should be.

Sure, you might save time by batching errands or automating them away, but you also lose the small, unplanned interactions that make life feel alive.

Those little “frictions” are often what give life its texture.

A rule we can all benefit from.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on complaining:

“I have a rule: no complaining about a situation unless you’re prepared to do something to make it better. If you see a problem and you don’t come to the table with a potential solution, I don’t want to hear your whining about how bad it is. It couldn’t be that bad if it hasn’t motivated you to try to fix it.”

I mean, think about it.

Has complaining ever helped you?

Why choose to repeatedly relive a problem instead of redirecting that energy toward solving it?

And if you can’t solve it right now, you’re actually better off ignoring it entirely.

The research backs this up:

A 2023 study found that learning to suppress unhelpful thoughts rather than dwell on them can improve your mental health.

So, when something’s bothering you, consider two options:

1. Take responsibility and do something to make it better.
2. Acknowledge it’s not worth your energy and let it go.

Everything else?

Complaining, ruminating, obsessing—just keeps you stuck.
