Not everything you picked up this year deserves to come with you.
Write less. Connect more. Convert better.

This week, we’ve been reflecting on:

·       Your One Word

·       Your Most Aligned Moment

Now, let’s go deeper.

Let’s talk about release.

Because sustainable flow in business isn’t just about what you do —
It’s about what you stop doing.

Before we add anything to your 2026 vision board…

Let’s get honest:

What do you need to let go of from 2025?

Not just clutter.
Not just old tech.
But ways of working, thinking, and showing up that felt heavy.

This is your permission slip.
To put it down.
To leave it behind.
To make space for what actually works — for you.

Here are some real “let-go” items my clients released in 2025 — and what it gave them in return:

Let go of: Hustle visibility
Made room for: Deep engagement through email + 1 channel

Let go of: Over-automated “bro” marketing
Made room for: Warm, honest offers that convert

Let go of: Polished everything
Made room for: Real connection (and replies!)

Let go of: Constant productivity
Made room for: Rhythm. Grace. Energy that lasts.

Letting go isn’t weakness.
It’s wisdom.

Grab a piece of paper.
Divide it in two.

Left column: “I picked this up in 2025…”
Right column: “I’m putting it down in 2026 because…”

It might look like this:

Don’t overthink it.

This isn’t about shame.
It’s about truth.

Here’s a light but powerful email you can send right now — one that builds deep resonance with your people:

Subject Line: “I’m not bringing this into 2026…”

Body:

Hey [first name] —

Let’s get honest. I picked up a few habits this year that looked good on paper…
But didn’t feel good in practice.

So before I plan big goals or new offers, I’m making space.
Here’s what I’m letting go of:

·       [Thing that felt heavy]

·       [Strategy that didn’t work for you]

·       [Belief that no longer fits]

I’m building a business that supports my nervous system, not just my schedule.

If you’re doing your own let-go list this week — I’d love to hear what’s on it.

One small release can create so much room for aligned growth.

With clarity + care,
[Your Name]

You don’t need to launch something for an email to land.
You just need to tell the truth.

This isn’t just cathartic. It’s strategic.

Once you write your Big Let-Go List, you can use it to:

·       Set new boundaries with your inbox or content calendar

·       Refine your offers to feel like you

·       Build systems that simplify — instead of complicate

·       Say yes to the right things in 2026

Letting go gives you leverage.
It creates room for clarity.
It centers you in your business again.

Write this in your journal — or your next newsletter:

“One thing I’m leaving behind in 2025 is ___________.
Because I finally realized ___________.”

This is visibility that feels like relief, not performance.

It reminds your audience that your brand is a living thing — evolving, just like they are.

Want to reflect with me?
Reply to this email (or post it publicly) and share:

“I’m not bringing ______ into 2026.”

You’ll be surprised how many people feel the same.

And you’ll be anchoring your brand in honesty, not just aesthetics.

Because alignment isn’t trendy.
It’s timeless.

With release + rhythm,
—Eli ✍️

“Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop doing what doesn’t serve you.”

✅ You’re ready to make space for aligned growth
✅ You want to slow down before you plan
✅ You believe strategy starts with self-trust
