A Mindful New Year: Welcoming 2026 with Intention and Light

As the year draws to a close, there’s a quiet space between endings and beginnings — a pause where reflection meets possibility. For ByBecca, this is where creativity and calm intertwine; a moment to look back with gratitude and forward with gentle purpose.

The transition into a new year isn’t about reinvention — it’s about realignment. It’s about releasing what no longer serves, embracing what brings light, and creating room for growth, creativity, and peace.

Reflecting on the Year That Was

Before setting new intentions, Becca takes time to honour the journey of the year just passed — the art created, the lessons learned, and the stillness found in between.

Each artwork, collection, and creative pause becomes a chapter in a larger story — one that celebrates presence over perfection.

Reflection can be as simple as journaling, lighting a candle, or sitting quietly with a favourite crystal — allowing space for gratitude to unfold.

Crystals for New Beginnings

Crystals hold powerful energy during transitions, helping to centre thoughts and intentions. Becca’s favourite choices for the new year include:

• Clear Quartz – for clarity and fresh perspective.

• Citrine – for optimism and abundance.

• Amethyst – for grounding and spiritual renewal.

Whether placed in a workspace or beside a journal, these stones become gentle reminders of possibility and peace.

Setting Intentions, Not Resolutions

Rather than focusing on rigid resolutions, Becca embraces intentions — soft goals rooted in feeling rather than outcome.

Intentions invite curiosity, openness, and flow. They remind us that growth can be graceful and that creativity, like life, doesn’t need to rush.

Her yearly ritual includes reflecting, cleansing her workspace, and sketching new ideas — not to control the year ahead, but to invite it in.

Creating Space for Light

As the clock turns and the world celebrates, Becca finds her own quiet joy in candlelight and stillness.

New Year’s Eve is less about noise and more about connection — with herself, her work, and the energy she hopes to carry forward.

Because a mindful new year begins not with a loud celebration, but with calm intention and a heart open to new creation.

A Year of Meaning Ahead

As we step into 2026, Becca’s hope is simple: to continue creating with purpose, to share art that soothes, and to inspire others to live more slowly and intentionally.

May your year ahead be filled with balance, light, and the courage to create from the quietest parts of your heart.
