Alignment: Our 2026 Word of the Year

Posted by Patricia Robson on

Every year, the Bloom Box self-care subscription is guided by a single word — our North Star.

For 2026, that word is alignment.

Alignment means being in agreement, in harmony, or in alliance, with yourself, your goals, and your feelings from moment to moment.

Why alignment?

One of the most common challenges our customers (and we ourselves) face is feeling busy and overwhelmed. Life pulls us in many directions. People have expectations for how we should spend our time.

It’s easy to move from obligation to obligation without asking, “Is this aligned with my values and goals?”

Roy E. Disney, brother of Walt Disney, famously said,
"When your values are clear, decisions are easy."

Ask yourself:

  • What are my core values?

  • What is my vision for 2026?

  • Which seeds do I want to nurture, and which can I let fade?

In 2026, we all have choices. The challenge is making sure those choices support our best selves.

If self-care is part of your alignment journey, the Bloom Box can help. Each seasonal box is designed to give you a moment to pause, reset, and reconnect with yourself — a gentle reminder to align with what matters most.

Warmly,
Patricia
