Surprise I'm still alive, thank you to all of my loyal friends who have checked on me during my social media hiatus. The winter is always a good time to unplug and really reflect on the year. If you've been wondering where I've been I'll fill you in a little bit here, so keep on reading.
A new year is among us and while I'm not super into following resolutions as I believe in resolving things faster so I can get to goals quicker. I do have some that I've wanted to start before the new year. I really wanted to get into a better morning routine, one that doesn't involve me being on my phone for countless hours. Let me tell you it's been life changing. I'll tell you why.
I get so much more done in the mornings. Mindless scrolling does nothing but stall what I should be doing. I actually have more focus than I ever have. I have started setting my alarm and working out in the mornings. Inspiration from my loyal friends on Instagram. Thank you so much for showing me that mornings can be so beautiful. You get to welcome the day before the sun comes up. You get to have something just for you, before your child wakes up, you get to make a yummy breakfast and feel ready to tackle the day.
I used to roll out of bed, groggy, tired and now I feel so excited to wake up. I have been a victim of going on my phone as soon as my eyes open for many years and I knew it was time to change that habit. I will limit myself to start a new habit where I will have "me" time before going on my phone and work. I've started to set boundaries when I get home from work, I try to keep my phone away until my son is asleep so I can focus on my family.
To my loyal readers, I miss you, I miss showing up for you - I have not forgotten about you and I'm excited to come back to you in 2024 with more mindfulness and inspiration for the new year.
When I think about this past year, I think about how much I've grown, the strengths I've had, the opportunities that came my way. My business took off and it's been nothing but a success, I completed my hardest hike yet being the Golden Hinde and I've gained amazing friendships. My sister and I became closer than we ever have been in a really long time by sharing an instagram account. I learned so many things, how to let go of friends, I learned that not everything in the past is meant to stay in the future, what it means to be patient with being a parent, what it means to be a good wife, what my body is truly capable of and so many good things.
I drank a lot of coffee this year, I soaked up so many beautiful sunsets, saw many new mountains and breathed in crisp forests where I found my true peace. To my friends that have stood beside me - thank you for teaching me what a good friend is. To the friends I have just met, thank you for showing me that real people do exist in the world. Thank you for being vulnerable with me as I'm learning to open back up as I've had many scars in my past that I am still trying to heal from.
I've been listening to new artists that excite me, I've been seeing my child grow and become a sassy little version of me who is full of life. I really can't believe he'll be four soon. I've read books and dedicating my time to upgrade my business in anyway I can.
2023 was an amazing year, I really feel 2024 is going to show me exactly what I am made out of. I hope it does for you, we made it to another year. Isn't that crazy? Another year has flown by. Let's make it count, we are only here for such a short time. We gotta start living, the adventures that I had in 2023, was just a warm up for what is about to come.
I can't wait to start the next year, more opportunities, new friendships, my business is going to thrive and become even bigger. Manifesting this and it will happen. Grind and hustle is all I'm after. Good vibrations and I'm only going higher.
Are you ready? Let's get after 2024 with a positive mindset. NO time for negative vibes. We are levelling up and I can't wait to share what it has in store. I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your holidays. I hope you be present and truly live. Privacy is a gift, we should all become low-key every now and then. Become a ghost - it's kind of amazing.
