Hey Reader,

Can you believe it? Tomorrow is the last day of 2025.

I've been spending pockets of time over the last few days looking ahead to 2026 in my business as well as considering what's working in my exercise program and what needs tweaking (spoiler alert: I'm always changing.)

As I've been doing this, I've been thinking about you.

Here's what I know: every January, we're bombarded with messages about "starting fresh" and "new year, new you" and making up for everything we did (or didn't do) in December.

But that's not how we move forward around here.

I put together a quick 4-minute YouTube video I hope you'll watch.

So here are three reminders I hope you'll carry with you:

1. Please don't punish your body for the last few weeks.

2. Keep your future self in mind.

3. Remember: the tortoise always wins.

Give your body time to adapt. You don't have to do all the things all at once just because we're flipping over a new calendar.

Here's to moving forward together.

I'll be back on Friday with our usual Nourishing Notes Newsletter.

Have a graced day,

Amy
