Positively Nutty

5 December 2025

As we look forward to the year ahead, we wanted to share a 2026 goal & intention setting worksheet, created by Skye.

But first, let's be clear — this isn’t about a “New Year, New You” mantra. You’re already fabulous, just as you are. Perhaps 2026 could be the year of small, meaningful changes.

So this exercise is about progress, not perfection. So trust your instincts, be kind to yourself and set realistic goals that set you up for success.

One of the frameworks that helped Skye orientate her own goals and purpose in recent years is Ikigai (pronounced “icky-guy”).



So what is Ikigai?
Ikigai is a concept beautifully outlined in the book Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles.

It translates to “reason for being” or “meaning of life.”

And it’s a framework based on four interconnected circles:

What you love (passion)
What you’re good at (vocation)
What the world needs (mission)
What you can be paid for (profession)

The magic happens in the sweet spot where all four circles overlap. When you find it, you unlock clarity, fulfillment, and purpose.

You can take a stab at finding yours in today's task. Dive in or simply peek at the prompts - you don’t have to finish today! You can revisit them when the mood strikes and life settles into its rhythm.
