New Year
Finally 2020 is behind us and hopefully we can have a much better 2021.
Lots of people see a new year as a time to reinvent themselves or reach incredible goals and if that’s for you then that’s great.
For me though, and I’m sure for some of you out there, the pressure of needing the new year to mean there should be some huge development in my life is very daunting.
Instead I like to think of the new year as a time to reflect. What went well last year, what didn’t and what can I do about it.
If it helps, maybe have a go at sifting through the enormity of 2020 and try and write down 5-10 things that you appreciated or achieved in 2020.
Here’s mine:
- I started my Masters in writing
- I worked hard on my fitness
- I turned 25 (in a global pandemic so that’s definitely something to appreciate)
- I had the best summer with Archie and I am so appreciative of the time I had with him before he had to go
- I explored some stunning places e.g. climbed Mt. Snowdon, Sugar Loaf and Peny Fan and walked around lake Llyn Ogwen
I hope looking back at the positives can help you have a positive start to 2021 and know in the back of your mind, even in the worst years, you can pick out sunny days, adventures and accomplishments that can make you happy and proud of yourself.
