It's that time of the year right? Looking at what we learned and making new resolutions for the new year, right?
Well, let's see...
This year I have tried to rekindle the link with my mum. I have to tell you something folks. I really feel that if you have been burned before (like manipulated and not respected) it is more than likely that it will happen again... And this is what happened. But, that actually was a very good thing. It actually helped me take a decision about next year (I will talk about that in a moment).
I also have applied my skills as a coach and defined even more how I do things. I still have a tiny weeny bit missing but it is certainly getting there.
I actually love who I am and what I do. This whole year led me to really dig within and I feel ready for the next chapter.
I'm also proud to say that I have kept a strong and meaningful bond with my ex who has a special place in my heart.
There are also things that need to change: the sedentary lifestyle (I have never been as sedentary this year I have been in my entire life), the way I eat (and my health) have not been great at all, I have been insomniac for 15 months now and I have withdrawn from communities...
But to do that, I feel that I need a bowl of fresh air. When I left my parents home some 27 years ago (I was 21 back then), I moved to Ireland and that country has stayed with me since... and when I left to go to Australia, i told myself that I would go back someday. Well, it's time folks. That's what I have decided to do. But instead of thinking long term I have decided to go for a few months, to reduce the stress of thinking too far ahead (I really don't have enough energy and I need to resource myself).
So in January I'm going back to where my ex is so as to put all my belongings in a storage and prep for my travel. I am planning on reclaiming my space one project at a time. I want them to be short-term for now so that I can build up skills that will help me grow as an autonomous person and help me stay right in the present moment.
After that? I have no idea and I don't want to know. I have just figured what I'm doing for the next 2 months and that's just enough for me.
I wish you a meaningful transition and a happy time, giving yourself the best present there is: your Self. ???
