If you want 2026 to be the year of growth, start thinking bigger than just your health or career goals.

I hope you set a goal for your Yellow.

Yellow: a project, idea, hobby, or experience that brings you joy outside of work.

And it’s ok to not know what your Yellow is!

Here are 3 questions to help:

1) What is something you did as a kid that you could do the adult version of now?

For me - doing gymnastics turned into doing yoga as an adult, and making magazines turned into writing blogs as an adult.

Your Yellows have always been inside of you, maybe they just got quiet amongst the other responsibilities you had.

If you have trouble coming up with something, what you’re consuming could give you some signs to what you’re interested in.

2) What is something that intrigues you on social media, tv, etc.?

This is where the scrolling or tv binging can become productive. What is something you thought was interesting or cool that you could maybe try?

Dancing, coding, podcasting, etc.

The reason why you’re consuming the content is probably because you like it, so don’t just watch it, start doing a version of it!

But what if it doesn’t feel like the right time in your life?

3) What is something that would be fitting to do in this stage of life?

Maybe you’re in a stage where you don’t have a lot of responsibility yet. Consider doing the Yellow that takes more time or energy (and do it now while you can)!

Traveling, taking a course, etc.

Maybe you’re in a stage where you have small kids. Consider the hobbies or experiences that could be fitting for this stage of life.

Taking photographs of them, designing their bedroom, etc.

I hope 2026 is the year you don’t just DREAM about your Yellow, you DO something about it.
