How was last year for me?
- I got home from the 500hr YTT in Rishikesh, India. Now I’m a certified Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga teacher. Got to teach at first Ashtanga, one on one. Some time after I started teaching Hatha in an actual studio, receiving a warm welcome from my students.
- Right after coming back from India, I travelled to my family in Łódź. It was a birthday of twins that I love, gifted them with a surprise visit. You should have seen their beautiful reactions!🥰<3
- Went to ZjAva. Got overwhelmed and massively inspired. Tried out Vaesen, I like it! Also, met a ton of people.
- Sadly I got lured back to work, maybe outside the corporate structures, but still with the bad influence. I managed to recognise that impact and limit it, thanks to my friend and business partner.
- Discovered techno music and all the craic that comes with it. Got a bit shocked by the overall vibe – I have never seen so much nakedness within public domain. Also, learnt that [###] works very well. Yay, I guess.
- Got myself another [###]. Two of them actually. Not as nice as the previous two though. But still they mean something to me. Oh, and the [###], also in my nose. So much inspiration from India!
- Funny thing, I experienced something that some of my yoga teachers described before. After my YTT it felt like my karmic lessons ganged up on me, all at the same time. After an unexpected and funny drunk accident in March this year, I started EMDR therapy which turned out to be a great success. It was extremely exhausting to face all of my deamons all at once this year. I have grown a lot, but it was very painful.
- Got an opportunity to organise one of my long missed pagan Mayday campfires. A bit disappointed it did not last very long. I guess we are getting old.
- I met someone special. We got along in so many ways, with him I could be stupid and happy together. I fell madly in love. Learnt how to trust and overcome many challenges. With a bit of help from someone’s bad will, the good times ended harshly. I guess I was wrong.
- As always, I have spent this year alongside my best friends, who have never failed me. Thank you. Got to see many of them for my birthday party. I am so happy to have all of you so close <3 Decided to start introducing some of my friends to each other – so far works quite well. Reconnected with [###]. It is always heart warming to see someone grow. Not to mention it was a great support and the voice of sanity in my difficult times. I was hoping we could be friends 🙂
- Learnt how to use paint and pastels. Does not mean I learnt how to paint. But I tried some:) Experienced something nice and new, met new people along the way. I will try to explore this feeling more, it helps me calm down.
- I had the worst Christmas in years. Christmas is the time when I never seem to get a slightest glimpse of what I want or what I need. I was sick, alone and heartbroken. Knocked myself out with the sleeping pills, filled the waking hours with books and crying. At least my cat was happy to have me available for cuddles. Next year I’ll run away.
- Feels like I have wasted most of the year. Some of my dreams died. I lost faith in love.
What I want in my 2024?
- Ireland and surfing.
- Build a yoga website in Polish.
- Yoganuary – Yoga every damn day.
- Quit coffee and alcohol.
- Get rid of unnecessary belongings.
- Read more.
- Try to survive.
