1 year is always full of highs and lows, but 2023 was particularly filled with very highs and very lows for me. Although no regrets are being felt, all the events I went through were destabilizing because they all meant change for a near future. Thank God, all positive changes or at least that’s how I want to see it. Changes I never expected to happen so soon but looking at it today make perfect sense. A cycle is closing a new one is starting.
Every year I set up objectives, usually what I believe to be achievable objectives, such as reading 10 books or celebrate my birthday, feeling better in my body by starting pilates classes,… unfortunately for this year my objectives got completely forgotten with the exception of 2. To be honest I never really discuss about the objectives I write down, nevertheless I felt the need to document my recap in a post to remember myself and others that’s it’s okay to not reach your objectives or goals for the year. Those are meant to guide you through the year and help you get back on track when you feel lost or overwhelmed with life and keep track of what you want for yourself. But some years are harder than others. It can be due to very positive things happening or very challenging moments it actually doesn’t really matter. Or at least that’s how I felt about it.
do you believe in life cycles? I do. And that’s the other reason why I’m talking about it today. How more I went through 2023, the feeling for change started growing, and consequently more and more things started happening that brought me to the breaking point of taking the courage to make those changes. I felt like one decision started affecting everything else in my life and that’s when I realized, I’m at the end of a cycle and a new one will start soon and it gave me so much hope for the new year. And when I say this, I’m of course talking at a personal level and not towards what’s happening in the world.
That said, I’ll leave 2023 remembers the very high moments I lived, because at the end of the day it’s important to focus on the good things and the bad well those are lessons that you take to have better things into the next year.
Wishing you all the best for 2024. May it bring you joy, adventure and life changing decisions.
with love,
Brenda
