Relationship Intentions I'm Setting For 2026

Recently, I've been working on some 2026 intentions for myself, because I find that kind of thing fun! It's an interesting opportunity to take stock of what I like and don't about how I'm living life right now. A lot has changed for me in the past year (hello book deal), and I'm still adjusting to my new normal.

Today, I'm doing a quick rundown of the relationship-focused intentions I've landed on. I purposefully decided not to write these as formal "SMART" goals because quite frankly, I am a person with too many goals. I do not need more intense striving in my life. But I like the looser, more philosophical lens of intentions, and I plan to do a monthly review with myself to see where I'm falling on each of these.

Without further ado, here are my relationship intentions for 2026. I hope they inspire you to reflect for yourself and set your own!
