As 2024 comes to an end, I can’t help but reflect on the year.
The year started with a pinched nerve in my neck and rolled downhill from there. There were so many challenges and lessons that catapulted me forward in my growth.
I began focusing more on my health. I have a habit of pushing through the pain but my body forced me to slow down and take it easy.
This was also a year of metaphorically trimming the fat in my life. There really is peace in only allowing what aligns with you into your life. I cut relationships, friendships, and affiliations.
Communication was a big focal point this year. I have struggled with being understood by and receiving effective communication from others. I put the fear of losing the connection to the person above the foundation of that connection. When I freed myself from connections with poor communication, more peace entered my life.
I was called petty; I was told that there was no point in working on communication; I was yelled at for not doing what was expected of me. Although my feelings were hurt by the harsh responses to me doing what was best for me, those same harsh responses validated that I made the right choice.
The year wasn’t all lessons. I was able to spend time with family, travel, learn new things and complete goals. I am grateful for 2024 and I look forward to what 2025 has in store for me.
With every new day, month, year, there is an opportunity to start anew. What will the new year bring you?
