Go Team 2025: Beaming in your direction.

Christine Hennebury

Hey Team!

So, as you probably know, I will be starting a new round of Go Team posts on January 1 – Go Team 2026!- but this is my very last Go Team post for 2025 and I have a very important message for you:

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!

I am proud of your efforts.

I am proud of the way you keep picking yourself up.

I’m proud of the way you keep trying.

I’m proud of the things you decided to do.

I’m proud of the the things you decided NOT to do.

I’m proud of the way you poured your energy into certain things and chose NOT to pour it into others.

I’m proud of every time you spoke to yourself kindly or took kind action for yourself.

I’m proud of the times that you noticed when you were being hard on yourself instead of just assuming those harsh messages were the truth. Even if you haven’t been able to adjust your messaging yet, you are on your way!

I’m proud of the times you chose consistency, routine, place-holding, or even phoning-it-in over relentless perfection.

I’m proud of your hard work.

I’m proud of your rest.

I’m proud of everything you accomplished, everything you tried, and even every time things didn’t work out.

Your effort matters.

You matter.

And you are doing the very best you can with the resources you have and that is something to be proud of.

Especially since those resources can vary from day to day.

I’m hoping you will join me in being proud of you but if you can’t quite wrap your mind around that yet, it’s totally ok.

I’m proud enough for both of us.

I see you. I see your efforts – even the effort it takes to let yourself rest – and I am cheering you on.

I’m cheering us all on.

GO TEAM US!

2025 is almost over.

You did what you could this year and you gathered information and experience to prepare for your next steps.

And that’s all that you can ask of yourself.

Here’s the final gold star for 2025 and I offer it to you, beaming with pride at your efforts:

A small drawing of a shiny, metallic gold star with rounded edges and trimmed in black. The drawing is on part of an index card so the background is white and I have made a frame of small black dots around the edge. The card is resting against my dark green mousepad that I have propped up on my white desk.

  1. Thank you for the constant affirmations and positive reinforcement you have provided all year. We don’t always do what’s best for us, but your post are a constant reminder to do just that. I appreciate all your encouraging words, which often arrive just when I needed to hear them. 2025 was an extremely challenging year for my family but we’ve made it through. I just wanted to say “Thank You” for your contribution to my personal success during this year. Warm regards, Gina in Virginia
