2026 Incoming…
A moment for yourself.
As we all start the typical fast paced “landslide” into the end of the year, it’s natural to start to jump ahead into January and start planning what we will do differently. Maybe it’s spending more quality time with your loved ones, making better food choices, ordering less off of Amazon, even a new haircut or color at your favorite Austin Hair Salon perhaps (hint, hint)
It’s easy to get ahead of ourselves and while planning the next big thing, we often miss being present in the moment and enjoying ourselves during a period of change we can never avoid, the changing of one year to the next.
So that being said we’re here to propose a challenge for you all! Try and maintain a little more presence with not just family or friends, but with yourselves this holiday season. Instead of thinking ahead to what you can do differently in 2026, take a moment to reflect and recognize the changes you have already made happen in 2025. (I’m sure there are way more than you think at first so really dig deep!) It’s nice to utilize this practice to give yourself some self awareness that regardless of how fast or how much we think we are growing, we are all indeed..growing.
It could be growth at the workplace, in your personal relationships with friends or family, or even your pets! It could show itself through growth in your personal health and wellness, your mental health, or the work life balance you focused on achieving this year. It could be financial growth, growth of your family members through newborns or marriages. Maybe you took on a new hobby, joined a new run club, or tried some new cuisine at a restaurant in town.
The point is, you have grown this year in one way or another, and it’s beneficial and refreshing to take the time to highlight and own that! You deserve a few weeks to be present and proud of yourself before hightailing into next year’s to-do list.
Self Reflection.
We have a growing list of goals on our 2026 list here at Urban Betty, which include some big internal changes that we are excited (and also a little scared of). Changes that will help us reach our salon company shared goals while also helping us to better all of your experiences as our guests which is ALWAYS goal #1! Some of y’all have been with us through 20 years of growth and change..talk about deserving to take a moment to stay present and reflect<3
Thank you for joining us on this ever evolving journey around the Sun,
Xoxo, Urban Betty
