Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. ~Maya Angelou 

Here are 5 habits that will not serve you in 2026. View them carefully and thoughtfully.

1. Overthinking

2. Hard Conversations

3. Playing Small

4. Waiting for permission

5. Carrying emotional baggage into leadership

Personally, Overthinking hits hard especially when you’re a perfectionist. It sometimes set unrealistic expectations, high standards, fearing mistakes and tying ourselves to flawless performance. This often leads to stress.

Procrastination due to a fear of failure, anxiety and harsh self-criticism, creates a cycle where nothing feels good enough. Overthinking is something to seriously about.

So which habit do you plan to leave behind? Do share. We would love to hear.
