When is the perfect time to set a new goal, start a new habit, or reflect on your life?

Sometimes, we make choices in our lives not because they make us come alive, but because we believe they are what others expect of us—forgetting what we expect of ourselves, for ourselves.

We seek external approval when the only validation we truly need is our own. Realizing this is an opportunity to embrace what is, instead of later wondering, "what if."

It was a late afternoon in early spring when we gathered a group of fifty people at The Ned NoMad in the heart of New York City. The event attracted everyone—from tech entrepreneurs and wellness influencers to artists and models—showing us that well-being and personal growth transcend all genders. In a fast-paced world, well-being is no longer a luxury but a necessity, essential to every other area of life.

It’s not something we do on the side; it must be integrated into our daily lives. It’s not just something we do—it’s something we are: mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

During this immersive event, we blended these elements together, harnessing the power of the Spring Equinox for renewal. We paused, reflected, and embarked on 66 days of new choices, manifestations, and goals.

The event was hosted by Susan Jaques, the founder of Marketing by MJ’s, along with our founder Ida Carleborn and Katia Repina. We began with a breathwork session led by Katia, using the power of our breath to clear stagnant energy, cultivate presence, and open ourselves to fresh possibilities. We then transitioned into an immersive journaling audio experience and concluded with the beginning of our 66 days of journaling together, followed by an impactful sharing session with the community.

This evening was nothing short of magical—the perfect start to a season of blooming.

A Powerful Practice for You to Try

Take out a beautiful piece of paper and a pen you love. Write a commitment letter to yourself in the present tense, beginning with "I am...". Write yourself into your future as if it is already here, in every way. Feel into every inch of it. See it before you. Then, sign this letter as a commitment to starting your 66 days of journaling with us.

And for those of you who "missed" the Spring Equinox, remember: the perfect day to start is today. Turn "one day" into day one.

New York City, we are back in May. Are you?
