My 2026 New Release

Good evening, and welcome to this week's contest, questioned and gudged by Hive account@merit.ahama. This year for me started with a painful experience, on the 12th of January 2026, I received a call that my husband's but was involved in an accident. That incident brought fear and physical stress and emotional stress to me. It reminded me how quickly peace can be shaken.

But there's this small meaningful win I noticed amidst all the trial, my brother who is self centered, brought me a package on his way back from the village. That surprising gift reminded me that all hope are not lost. That this year will be favorable to me😜😜😜😜.

What I choose to release this year. hmmmmm, my kindness has been misunderstood for a very long time, people always mistaken my good heart for weakness. Because I don't know how to say no, I will lend money and offer help even when it stretches me. But no body will return that kindness, not even when I need it.

They have always taken me for granted, they always receive freely from me but never reciprocate. No body is showing the same care or consideration. No body is showing up for me when I need them. I go through my problems all by myself, nobody to lean on.

I have come to realise that having a good heart does not mean accepting poor treatment. That is why this year I choose to release that pattern. I release the believe of rescuing people at the expense of my own peace. I release that guilt that comes with saying no. I release that believe that my happiness and self worth lies on me giving others. No doubt, I will still be kind to people, but this time around, it will have boundaries. I will give wisely, I will help only when I feel like it not because I'm pressured or manipulated to.

This 2026, I choose myself, peace, emotional balance, Self love and respect. I will protect my finances like never before, I will stop pouring into cups that never pour back. Thanks for staying around. See you in the next contest.
