This life is supposed to change you. Let it.
I am writing this in my favourite restaurant in Ram Jhula, near Rishikesh. It is probably the only restaurant in town that does not make the food spicy! Thanks Goddess, this is literally saving my acne-prone skin. And my self esteem. I just graduated the Yoga Teacher Training in an amazing school. During the process I got to face my inner deamons and remove myself from the rut of what my typical environment expects from the world. It is the last day of 2022 and I may spend the evening simply sleeping. Day like any other day. Like it is for everyone else here 🙂 No loud parties or feeling left out. I may get a massage though, there is a cramp that I wouldn’t mind leaving in the old year.
How did it go?
- Experienced some […] in London.
- Went to Exeter<3 Met the teachers from ISCA School, felt like meeting with a big part of me. Fell in love with Exeter one more time.
- Got to celebrate Easter with Alex and her friends and family in Birmingham <3 You make it something to live for, you know Darling?
- Went to Dublin, saw the sunrise, had great hikes, great conversations, drank the night away in the loveliest of pubs ever. Left my heart there
Dublin really felt like home. - Finally got to see Galway! Oh the nicest of people, never got to feel estranged, never was really alone. Beautiful views, great vibes and food. And the music!
- Ate many delicious things, including hot pot, truffle fondue, delicious Japanese food, Korean banh mi, excellent steaks and mapo tofu in great company in London.
- Took my first mental health sick leave ever. Did lots of yoga.
- Built the first proper […] on my own and learned this is worth money.
- Quit my job, moved back to Warsaw, with all my books and my favourite lovely cat Nairobi <3
- Got to see both the joys and the drama of having a flatmate for a few months:) I do appreciate it though, there is a certain kind of intimacy that I was happy to learn about.
- Forgave myself and other loved ones in my life. Radical forgiveness! <3 Somewhere along the way I lost my codependency. Yay!
- Closed a few chapters, learned some lessons. The biggest one being, figuring out why it was working so well with my ex for near 9 months, and not working out with many other men, including the most recent one.
- Found spirituality. Then lost it and then found it again.
- Saw Athens and Edinburg, visited my beloved Ireland. Oh I miss it so much! Not in winter though.
- Went to India <3 Quit the alcohol and meat. I may still enjoy it in the future, but I do like it even more right now how healthy and strong has my body become, without any cheats or dirty tricks this time.
- Started using sugar and milk in my tea and coffee 0_o
- Managed to finally slow down and befriend the Shakti, learned what I want, what serves me and what was that thing that was going wrong each and every time.
- Tried to go without […] for a month. Was tough, but knowing what I know now, I am not giving up.
- Graduated 200+300 hours Yoga Teacher Training in India, bringing back plenty of food inspiration, ideas, some clothes and books – already sent home:) There is so much I want to write about!
- I spent entire year without Łódź 🙁 I feel like there is a hole in my heart, not seeing my family.
- Reconnected with Pusia and Alicja and I love it. I have the best friends in the world <3 Next year is going to be all about them. And about books. I love books.
What I want for the next year?
- Practice and teach.
- Cook some travel-inspired food for my family.
- Spend time with friends.
- Meditate.
- Explore ways to […]. This is THE year, and promise is a promise. I already found a […] 🙂
- Spend more time with my cat.
- Build a community.
- Sing. Create.
- Make it better than the last one.
