"When the power of love is stronger than the love of power, the world will finally live in harmony and peace."
I have chosen to inaugurate my 2026 with some reflections on love, a complex and enriching vital emotion that we too often confine to limited territories, associating it only with romantic notions and intimacy.
Generally, I don't give advice.
But today, I feel compelled to do so. If you're planning your goals, if you want to guide your choices with the light of a destination, if you're striving with good intentions for this 2026... well, incorporate love into it!
Love is the energy of life. It is a force that moves, creates, transforms, and connects.
Through an experiment with 701 participants, Nummenmaa and colleagues* identified "bodily maps of emotions," revealing that love is the emotion that activates our bodies the most. It ranks second only to joy, which is even more pervasive.

Love is energy, and like any emotion, we cannot stop it, ignore it, or control it…
But we can activate and manage it!
We can use the insights it provides to move in the direction it shows us, maximizing our well-being and our positive impact on the world.
But where do we start?
Starting with ourselves is usually a good idea!
Love yourself!
Train consistently to recognize and value your strengths and embrace your imperfections. Organize moments for yourself, like a walk in your favorite place or a relaxing evening at home, dedicating time to your hobbies.
Open up
Light cannot enter through closed windows. Sharing your emotions and vulnerability creates deeper connections with others and gives life to new spaces of trust and growth.
Practice gratitude
Make an effort to notice how much beauty you have in your life. You could start by keeping a gratitude journal, writing down at least three things every day for which you are grateful. Gratitude opens the heart and attracts more love and beauty into your life.
Let love live and experience it in all its forms
Love doesn’t exhaust itself in romantic love. Consider the love for friends, family, your dog or cat, nature, art... embrace your passions!
Put love into your work, put love into listening, observing, experiencing.
Loving is an act of openness and recognition that can profoundly transform our lives and the lives of others.
The beauty of love is that the more we share it, the more we receive it, creating an endless cycle of positive energy.
If your window is still closed, open it; otherwise, you’ll keep the light outside. Perhaps you might feel illusionarily protected from the storms, but for sure, you will remain in darkness.
