Inventory Your Life: 5 Questions to Help You Reset for 2026

hero image

Feeling like life is “fine” but also kind of… off? If your home or work relationships feel tense, draining, or confusing, it might be time for a quick reset.

Quick Reset (in 10 minutes)

"This January, I took a hard look at 2025. Instead of just pushing forward, I stopped to evaluate what I was doing, why I was doing it, and whether it was actually working."

Grab a notebook (or open Notes). Answer these fast—no overthinking.

5 Diagnostic Questions (Home + Work Relationships)

1) What’s working right now?

  • Who do you communicate well with?
  • What routines or agreements are actually helping?

2) What’s draining me—and why am I still doing it?

  • Which interactions leave you exhausted?
  • Are you avoiding conflict, seeking approval, or “keeping the peace”?

3) What’s unclear or unsaid?

  • What expectations feel fuzzy?
  • What conversation keeps looping in your head?

4) What do I genuinely need (not just want)?

Pick one:

  • more help
  • more space
  • clearer roles
  • more respect
  • more rest

5) Are my relationships supporting my well-being?

  • Who leaves you feeling steady vs. on edge?
  • Where do you need a boundary (time, tone, tasks, access)?

Do This Next (Keep It Simple)

  • Circle one question that hit hardest.
  • Write one small action for this week:
    • “Ask for a specific change.”
    • “Set a limit (and repeat it calmly).”
    • “Schedule a check-in.”
    • “Stop doing the thing that’s quietly breeding resentment.”
  • If it involves another person, use this script:
    “I’ve noticed ____. I need ____. Can we try ____?”

That’s it. Small shifts beat big promises—especially when you’re already juggling a lot.
