Happy New Year everyone! I am looking forward to my unknown future work year (scary but exciting but scary but liberating but scary) but I would like to start by also looking back one more time.
A new year means a new opportunity to be kind, good and caring. First of all to yourself. Why? So you can pay all that forward to others.
Taking care of myself before others has been the biggest lesson for me in the, well, past two years actually. Sound familiar?
Yes, because you hear it all the time, from a parental figure or a BFF perhaps, from your doctor or coach, or from your flight attendant.
But are you actually doing it? Are you taking actions that benefit YOU?

I think I came pretty close to nailing it in December.
I have really taken the time to get used to the idea of getting back on the road towards new work in 2025. How did I do this?
The month of December turned out rather educational. Did I do a job? No. Did I go to school? No. Did I start a course? No.
I went on a solo holiday by myself. For me. All alone. In m’n eentje. It gave me pretty good insights. But deciding whether to go on the trip was actually the most educational. Not because I do not often go on trips. I live for travelling!
No, it was about allowing myself to go on a holiday and convincing myself I deserved it and that it was going to be fantastic. And you know what? I was right! It was absolutely amazing. It made me feel I got rewarded for my decision to go.
The best lesson I learned was that I can always achieve more than I think.

So in 2025 I am taking this with me.
I will hesitate less.
I will overthink less.
I will DO MORE.
Are you inspired? I hope you are. I hope I have paid that forward.
