keep moving forward
The first Monday of the year is here! That means back to work and back to figuring out how we’re going to keep ourselves entertained and working during the rest of this pandemic. On NYE, my friends posed a question of “what we learned in 2020” which in all honesty struck me in a weird way. I don’t think I was done processing 2020 until right now. First of all, it was the longest year of my life (personally) but I am thankful to it in a way…
I moved out of an apartment I loved but was falling apart and REAL unsafe and into my boyfriend’s condo where all my plants (and I) are still living happily. I started a business after quitting one toxic job and finding an amazing a little over a month later which I touched on in this post here. I realized I was eating 90g+ of sugar each day in processed foods and over the course of two-three weeks learned what it was like to detox from an addiction - you get dizzy/light headed and your body is basically pissed you took away what it was addicted to. I had a year where I had to manually pick apart my life and see what made me happy and what didn’t. I learned to be patient and understand what I have to do to keep myself afloat so I can help others when I have the energy to. I also learned I will overcommit myself to people who take up A LOT of my energy but help them anyway because I want to. I’m still working on this one. I learned how lucky I was to have the support I do so I could quit my job, freelance a little and have the mental clarity to just start a business. Finally, I learned who were positive and negative influences on my life. To quote Kylie, 2020 was a year “of like realizing stuff”.
In 2020 I: lost my mind, stressed out, freaked out, chilled out, worked part time, visited the east coast, got healthier, quit another job to start a business, celebrated a friends, made a home, was kinder to my body, discovered new podcasts, found clients, enjoyed the holidays, and got closer with people I love. Nothing too exciting but I survived and I’m grateful.
Following a year unlike any other and having absolutely no plans for 2021 yet, II’ll keep my goals short and sweet. I’m hoping to further my business, connect with people, celebrate more friends, see new babies, organize the home more, clean out my closet, travel if its safe and work on bettering myself in any way I can. Hoping we can all make it through this year with less stress and less hair falling off our heads (thankful I discovered Nutrafol for this issue!). Here’s to a year thats much much MUCH better than the last.
