Updated Monthly Themes for 2026
At the start of the year, I shared my monthly themes for 2026 as a way to guide memory keeping, journaling, and creative projects throughout the year. I noticed last night after I sent out my newsletter (are you a subscriber?) that I had made a slight error. I had renewal as a theme for March, but realized I had grouped the theme of renewal in with growth for January. I like how that turned out, but I don’t want to be too repetitive, so I made an adjustment. Now, the theme for March will be Moments in Time. Why am I telling you this in February? If you like to plan ahead, I want you to have all the information.
I’ve updated the original post, but you may still see some images floating around the internet with the original themes. Sorry about that. Just proof that there is a human in charge here. lol!
The updated 2026 monthly themes
Here is the revised list for the year:
January: Growth
February: Love and Connection
March: Moments in Time
April: Joy in the Everyday
May: Creativity
June: Travel and Adventure
July: Play
August: Rhythms and Routines
September: Learning
October: Wonder
November: Gratitude
December: Magic and Memory
I like how this flow feels now. Each month has its own focus, without repeating the same idea in different words. I’m genuinely enjoying this appraoch and I feel like it is not only enriching my memory keeping, but it’s making my life better as well. Bonus!
If you are using monthly themes to guide your memory keeping, you do not need to follow them perfectly. Think of them as a starting point, not a rulebook.
