Chris Evergreen here. Welcome to your daily goodwill
for Sunday, February 1st, 2026. First day of
February, new month energy. There's something
about flipping the calendar that makes your brain
want to flip everything else too. Like you should
suddenly have a new exercise routine and a color
-coded meal plan and maybe learn pottery. But
here's the thing, you don't owe February a reinvention.
You can just show up as the same person who made
it through January. That's already something.
Here's today's advice. Give yourself permission
to have a quiet Sunday. Not every Sunday needs
to be productive prep day for the week ahead.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is let your
nervous system believe that rest is actually
allowed. Take a walk with no destination. Sit
with your coffee for an extra 10 minutes. Read
something that has nothing to do with self -improvement.
Let your brain wander without trying to capture
every thought in a notes app. The world will
keep spinning. Your to -do list will still be
there tomorrow. And you'll handle it better if
you actually let yourself recharge instead of
just thinking about recharging while scrolling.
Rest isn't something you earn after being productive
enough. It's part of the cycle that makes productivity
possible in the first place. And here's your
goodwill move for today. Text someone you haven't
talked to in a while. Just something simple.
A memory. A question. A, hey, thinking of you.
Connection doesn't need a reason or a long explanation
for why it's been a minute. That's your daily
goodwill for Sunday, February 1st. You don't
have to start the month strong. You just have
to start it honest Talk soon
