Preparing for 2026 starts with understanding how different calendars view time, energy, and action. In this episode, I explore what the Chinese calendar and the Mayan calendar reveal about 2026, where these two systems align, and where they offer very different guidance. Rather than treating calendars as tools for prediction, I talk about how they can be used as frameworks for awareness, decision-making, and intentional goal activation. I break down what each calendar teaches about cycles, momentum, and timing, and why understanding these perspectives matters if you want to move into 2026 with clarity instead of confusion. This conversation is about learning how to work with energy and seasons, not forcing progress through pressure. I also share concrete steps and reflective questions you can use right now to activate your goals for this year and prepare for what 2026 is asking of you. I talked about: What the Chinese calendar says about the energy we are moving into in 2026, and how that contrasts with the Mayan calendar’s view of cycles and timingThe similarities between the Chinese and Mayan calendars, especially around momentum, leadership, and movement, and why both point to preparation rather than rushingThe key differences between the two calendars and how each one frames action, rest, and responsibility in 2026Why understanding these calendars matters if you want to stop setting goals that don’t stickI also walked listeners through specific steps and reflection questions to activate their goals this year, including: Deciding how many goals you actually need to focus on instead of overloading yourselfIdentifying where your current goals are coming from, whether they are driven by alignment or pressureLooking at how you move your body, your energy, and your time, and whether that movement supports the year aheadNoticing patterns from past years that you are being asked to complete or close out before 2026Clarifying what kind of capacity, courage, and structure you need to build now to meet what 2026 will requireThis episode is about using calendar wisdom as a practical tool so you can make cleaner decisions, activate your goals intentionally, and enter 2026 prepared rather than reactive.
