00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 Each year around this time,

00:00:02 --> 00:00:06 I set a word as my focal point for the coming new year.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 Tune in as I share my word for 2026.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15 Hello,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:21 a bite-sized podcast that's chock-full of inspiration,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 motivation,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24 and positivity,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 straight from the intersection of faith and mental wellness.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 As I have done for the last several years,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54 I've chosen a word to define my effort and focus for the new year.

00:00:56 --> 00:01:02 The word for 2025 was growth, and I think I met that goal.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07 I had some hopes and goals for growing this podcast.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12 I was featured three times in the Christian Chronicle,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 a multi-award-winning publication.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19 But the greatest growth and transformation,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23 really a reinvention of myself and metamorphosis,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:23 if you will,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27 occurred in the latter half of the year.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33 Having gone through a period of extreme toxicity,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39 I took some time for reflection and prioritizing my physical

00:01:40 --> 00:01:40 and mental health.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46 That led to incorporating the supplements that would change the

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47 trajectory of my

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 battle with OCD.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54 All of that is chronicled here in episodes in the Momo archives,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57 but suffice it to say,

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59 goal stated and well met.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:05 As the toxicity reached its zenith at the end of the summer,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10 A word began circling in my brain.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 Recalibrate.

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17 So that's my word for this year.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19 Recalibrate.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25 This is the year, Lord willing, that I formally retire.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29 Recalibrating the rhythm of my days and my life.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35 This is the year I focus a bit more on the things that help me

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37 physically and

00:02:37 --> 00:02:37 mentally,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39 eating better,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40 moving more,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44 and recalibrating mind and body.

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50 This is the year I jettison that which no longer serves me,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53 whether in the form of habits,

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55 relationships,

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57 old patterns or thinking,

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 making room for new growth,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02 recalibration.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:08 This is the year I change up my Bible study habits a bit and

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 take much deeper dives

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13 beyond surface-level reading plans,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:18 recalibrating my spirit and my walk with God.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23 And you may see some tweaks to this space,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28 recalibrating episodes to align with these plans.

00:03:29 --> 00:03:32 And, of course, it is all as God wills.

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35 So there you have it.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39 My word for the year is recalibrate.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:40 What's yours?
