 How I'm Planning 2026 According to God's Rhythm (Not the World's Calendar) Have you ever looked at the year ahead and thought, I want next year to feel and be different, but how do I actually plan for that? That's exactly where I am, and I want to take you behind the scenes on what I'm doing to plan for 2026. But instead of scrambling by January 1st, I started honoring a completely different rhythm—God's rhythm. The Biblical New Year Changed Everything Here's something that might surprise you: the Biblical New Year doesn't start on January 1st. It starts in spring, in the month of Nisan (also called Aviv), which typically falls in March or April. When I started aligning with the Biblical New Year in March and April of 2025, everything shifted. This November and December, I was able to stop stressing. I stopped rushing to finish the year in hustle mode. Instead, I used that time as a sacred pause to be with my family, to reflect, to rest, to be not to do. I spent November and December testing offers and ideas, and that testing led to $8K in revenue in the first few months that wasn't even planned. That was all God. Why Winter Isn't Meant for Sprinting Here's the thing: you can still allow the season to be about reflection. Creation slows down in the winter. Trees aren't blooming, the soil is resting. If God designed winter for rest, why are we forcing ourselves to sprint? Now listen, I've said this before and you'll hear me say it again—January, the beginning of the year, is a prime time for launches. People are in that "new year, new me" energy, and as business owners we can absolutely capitalize on that. But what if we also planned our business around God's rhythm? What if we planned from peace instead of panic? Understanding the Biblical Calendar According to Scripture, the new year actually begins in spring. God told the Israelites in Exodus 12:2, "This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you." This was tied to deliverance, to renewal, to springtime—the beginning of planting and new life. Not in the dead of winter like January 1st, which by the way, was established by Julius Caesar, not God. In 2025, I started honoring that biblical rhythm and it changed how I approached my business and my year. Instead of feeling the pressure to map out everything in November or December, I now begin my true annual planning in March and early April, right around the Biblical New Year. That's when I sit down to reflect deeply on the previous year, take stock of what aligned with God's call on my life and business, and plan the vision and business moves for the year ahead. My 4-Step Process for Planning 2026 Let me walk you through how I'm planning this year with faith, rhythm, and purpose—not just so I can be productive, but so I can be positioned. Step 1: Start With Life, Not With Hustle or Launches This is the biggest shift I've made. I used to start planning my year with launches and revenue goals and then try to squeeze my life in around them. But that's how burnout happens. That's how resentment builds. That's how my husband asks, "Why are you always at your computer?" And that's how you end up feeling like an employee instead of building a business by God's design that He has called you to lead. Now I start with life. We are building life-first businesses. I open my 2026 calendar and I put in what matters most: breaks, birthdays, family time, rest, Sabbath rhythms, travel, vacations. I'm a Type A personality who loves to work and always be doing things, but now I give myself permission to honor those high-energy seasons and slow down in the seasons that I need to slow down. I plan my launches around my life, not the other way around. Life isn't the afterthought—it's the foundation. There's a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. I have a 4-year-old now (he'll be five in July), and we've been homeschooling. I get to start my day with my family and with him. Step 2: Reflect on the Past Year With Grace, Not Judgment Before I think about what I want for 2026, I spend time looking back at 2025—not through the lens of what didn't work or what I should have done, but through the lens of compassion and curiosity. I scroll my camera roll. I check my revenue reports. I look at my email list growth month by month. I remember the seasons where I felt alive, excited, powerful, and the seasons where I was stretched too thin or in hustle mode. I revisit launches, client wins, unexpected opportunities and unexpected challenges. This kind of reflection gives you data you can't get any other way. I can see exactly where: I pushed myself too hardI under-supported myselfI was able to have fun and bring in amazing revenue, even when I wasn't even tryingI grew in ways I wasn't expectingThings felt aligned and where they didn'tGod was in the mess and where He wasn't, because my focus was on the world That clarity is everything.
