What If Moving Forward Started With Letting Go?

Ever heard of a “reverse bucket list?”

Instead of writing down everything you want to do or add in 2026…

You write down everything you’re DONE with or want to let go of.

  • a routine that drains your energy (a habit)
  • a responsibility that no longer aligns with your values (a commitment)
  • a thought pattern that keeps you stuck or feeling guilty (a belief)

Here are a few real-life examples We’ve heard from clients:

→ “I’m done skipping breakfast and wondering why my energy crashes."

→ “I'm always saying yes to volunteer work when I’m already overbooked."

→ “I’m done waiting until everything lines up perfectly before I can start.”

When you eliminate what no longer serves you, space magically opens up for the right things to step in.

It’s like cleaning out a closet. Once the clutter’s gone, it feels better… and you finally have room for what actually fits.

Here’s your challenge today:

Write down three things you’re DONE with this year:

✔️ One habit that doesn’t support your goals

✔️ One obligation that no longer fits your priorities
✔️ One belief that keeps you stuck or second-guessing yourself

If it feels a little uncomfortable, that’s okay.

Letting go is often one of the BEST ways to move forward.

So tell us: What’s ONE thing you’re most looking forward to being done with?

Here’s Ours:

We’re letting go of leaking energy into things we can’t control.

We can’t wait to hear yours.
