So here we are, nearing the end of February, and I still don’t really know what this year is going to bring. What I do know is a few things about me, and how I want to spend my time.
I actually thought I’d write more this year to capture some of what’s going on, and yet this is only the second time I’ve actually sat down to do it, which probably says a lot. I’ve been turning things over in my head for weeks, circling decisions, working through stuff, but without much clarity until recently.
I’ve definitely felt like I’ve been shedding a few layers, very on brand for the year of the snake, and I’m curious about what’s next. There’s a bit of reset energy in the air, for sure.
I’ve made a big decision about how I spend my time and where I put my energy. It’s a bit of a leap, with a change of income, but I know it’s the right choice. Last year I decided that my emotional wellbeing mattered more than financial security, and I’m sticking to that. It might sound a bit mad, but what I’ve learned over the past six months is that if I’m not mentally strong and happy, nothing else works. I don’t want to be lost in my head like I was at the back end of last year, and this feels like the way forward.
Putting that clarity into action has been a bit of a game changer. I’ve thrown myself properly into my life coaching course, and for the first time in a long time, I can focus on it and give it real attention rather than trying to squeeze it in around everything else. It feels like I can actually make progress.
But the thing I’m loving most right now is how much clearer my head feels. Even with everything going on, I actually have room to think, a bit of focus, and I can get on with the things I want to do without feeling guilty, which feels pretty good.
So that’s where I’m at. Life feels a bit more even. I’m still walking, and love seeing the change in seasons as I do.
