Here is to an amazing new year. I am absolutely ready for new energy, opportunities and travel. No more meh year of 2024. I feel that since 2020 each year has been its own type of shit sandwich to a certain degree. 2020 was a pandemic. Loads of fun to reflect on. 2021 was a smidge better than 2020. At least some restrictions were lifted and travel returned domestically. 2022 offered more yoga opportunities, growth and I met Tom. An improvement over the former two years. 2023 was ok. Not as solid as 2022. I started getting depressed about my lack of travel. That feeling has remained with me. I never knew how much I relied on travel to provide happiness.
And I have been traveling. To Santa Fe, Texas, Kansas, Arizona. I am not traveling at the rate I would like to and that is the issue. Tom and I have not taken a trip out of the country which is further depressing me. Part of it is due to timing and health concerns. Thankfully, we managed to make great strides in his health journey this part year. We are currently waiting to have a consult for an endoscopy before his hip surgery can be arranged. It is another example of why people are frustrated with health care in this country. Some places won't take his insurance and now we will have to have it scheduled in Albuquerque which adds another layer of challenge. I remain hopeful that he will have the hip replacement by March at the latest. Fingers crossed.
We have discussed going to Mexico, Puerto Morelos, to be exact. Five to seven days on the beach sounds terrific. We just have not been able to do it because of health concerns until this year. Or we have considered Las Vegas or Miami. However, I think we will be focusing on western cities/states this year.
Health, healing and communication will be focuses for me this year. I have some things I need to release and let go of that I have carried with me throughout my life. I am understanding how carrying that emotional baggage with me from relationship to relationship is a habit I need to break. I need to have better coping mechanisms to deal with stress and conflict. It is never fun to take a hard look at yourself and realize that there are things that need to change to improve yourself, life, relationship. Mostly, I want to be better and focus on what truly makes me happy. End living in mediocrity and thrive.
How will I be able to do that? By making some small changes, daily. Creating new habits and patterns which will inspire new energy and opportunity. I am skipping dry January this year and changing up that focus. I intend to be moderate to eliminate some of the crazy episodes I create for people in my life to contend with. It can be challenging. I strive to create new patterns, habits and routines to elevate my life.
Thank you for listening to my 2025 hopes of new energy and possibility. It is time, for me, to make some changes to live my best life.
