igoodnews: things to do in 2026

it's 2026, lets get right in...

this is what we believe people should let go of in 2026 as it pertains to stereotypes, limiting beliefs and opinions. society has evolved way past these old ideologies & the best way to completely break the narrative of what should or shouldnt be done, is to change our perception of others and ourselves. the best way to get to freedom, is to free our own minds from the shackles of all the so called rules. in 2026... "just do it", like nike says:

1. cuss! or for those who don't understand... curse. maybe not in others home, maybe not often.. maybe in a way that can be humorous...but please.. cuss. it helps brain receptors go off in your brain that reduce inflammation. it is just as rewarding as punching or throwing that thing. from time to time, while outside, just let off a good f word. thank us later.

2. be gay! or part of the lgbtqia, if that is what your heart wants. life has to be live, and yes, people wont like it... but that means, you should, and CAN love who you want to love. loud proud and openly. or quiet too if that is your thing.. but love is freeing so it should never force you to hide and it should never force you to choose. in 2026 the main limiting belief system to shed is overcaring what others think at the expense of your own happiness. so yes, be cautious in all matters of love but please do love whomever it is you choose to love. be all the things, all the time in all the ways if it fits your cup of tea. being on the dl at this point should be a phantom of the past. the church is dismantled, and we all bleed. go ahead and just be gay.

3. take a day ...or weeks off. seriously. this is the only life we get. its 2026. retire early. sleep in. take longer breaks and just do nothing. in the era where society created humans to be work horses, take back your time, health and mental stability by just being. it will realign you onto the right path and it will help to calm your nervous system.

4. say no! and pay attention to the reaction that you get. it doesnt let you know someones intent, but it can give a major hint toward what kind of character they are... which means, the intent would still be less about you & just more about them.

5. eat the cake. we are advocates of eating healthy, making cleaner choices, perserving the economy and environment... but everything in a considerable moderation.. which means, enjoy your sweets, eat the cake! add fun to your life, find/create a balance but drink the shot and eat the cake... because there is no need to be on a death bed with a bunch of "shoulda, woulda, coulda" and "almost". remember, almost doesnt count. one life in your body... one life during this time. live it up and eat. or as the saying goes...drink and be merry.

honorable mention......wear white. lisa raye does! wear it after autumn, in the winter or all year round. in fact, wear anything you'd like, outside of making sure to protect the innocence of children... protect your own sanity by wearing or not wearing the "thing". that short skirt, that crop top, that extra pierecing..wear it. wear added sunblock that makes you look uncool, wear the glasses when your eyes get tired.. release all your inhibitions & just do it. freeform your locs/tresses.. color your hair multiple colors.. but at the end of the day.. do the thing...
