Soft Girl Resolutions: For a Gentler Year

Let’s be honest, January rolls in and suddenly everyone’s talking about “new year, new me” like we’re all just magically supposed to have our lives together overnight or something.

Meanwhile, if you’re anything like me—a mom, a creator, a woman who’s doing her best—your New Year energy probably looks more like:

"I’ll set goals after I’ve had some coffee and cannabis." and "Maybe all I want for 2026 is five minutes of peace and quiet, and perhaps that lighter that keeps disappearing."

If that’s your vibe too, welcome you've come to the right place!

This year, let's choose high-vibe, low-pressure goals—you know the kind that feel good in your body… not the kind that make you feel like a failure by January 12th.

Whether you are looking for a soft reset, a cannabis-friendly ritual, or even a moment to reconnect with your identity outside of motherhood - let's light up a candle, take a breath and set some goals that actually feel possible.

Slow Burning Goals — Not the Overwhelming Kind

You know how a candle doesn’t rush to fill a room? It takes its time slowly and gently - your goals deserve that same energy.

Instead of the usual intense resolutions, try these "slow burning" intentions:

• I want mornings that feel less frantic.

• I want to reconnect with my creativity.

• I want to honor my body with rest, nourishment, and softness.

  
  

These are soft life goals, not stress-filled ones.

Realistic and sustainable, made for moms who are healing, growing, and balancing a thousand things.

A Cannabis-Candle Ritual to Call In New Energy

Rituals help us slow down; they ground us and they’re even better when they’re simple enough to do while the kids are finally down for a nap.

Here’s my favorite New Year Reset Ritual:

1. Light a candle with intention. Pick a scent that helps you feel connected—something calming, earthy, or bright.

2. Take a moment to breathe (and take a hit, if that’s your vibe). Cannabis-friendly self-care isn’t about escaping—it’s about grounding, relaxing, reconnecting with yourself when your brain is fried.

3. Journal the three things you want to feel this year. Not achieve FEEL, "I want to feel at peace", "I want to feel more love", or "I want to feel more connected to myself" are just a few examples.

4. Release one heavy thing from last year. No need to bring in weight from last year, release something heavy to make space for something new. Write it down and read it out loud followed by "I am done carrying this and I release it back into the universe".

   
   

This is intention-setting that feels good—no pressure, no perfection.

Resolutions for Moms Who Are Still Finding Themselves

Motherhood is beautiful.

Motherhood is hard.

Motherhood can swallow your identity if you don’t create moments to return back home to yourself.

So, your resolutions this year may look like:

"I want to feel more like myself again."

"I want to give myself grace when life gets chaotic."

"I want to show up for myself as deeply as I show up for my kids."

These aren’t just new year goals for moms—They’re reminders that you are a whole human being with needs, dreams, softness, and magic that deserve nurturing.
