During the entire year I was not able to properly write \u201c2024\u201d. It was either 2023 or 2025. Something in me clearly didn\u2019t like the 2024 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wasn’t really looking for much this year. I was quite low when it started. When I feel like nothing can make me happy anymore, I try to write down every good thing that happens to me. It doesn\u2019t help right away, it\u2019s more like an investment in the future. I opened my appreciation jar this week and browsed through those items. So I appreciate my friends, my cat, good health, yoga and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Financial issues of [XXX] have caused me to decide to go to [XXX] with that. That also meant that [XXX] was empty and I could [XXX].<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Continued working with [XXX]. Towards the end of the year I learned how to do it hassle free. Unexpected but a really welcome plot twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I got involved in Dharma mentorship with my lovely teacher from Ireland, [XXX]. She really seems to be seeing right through the issues I might be having in my life or practice. As annoying as it is, she also seems to always be right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I went on a lovely horse riding trip in the mountains, got back totally sore \ud83d\ude00 But it was good to reconnect with a friend and the activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I tried Korean BBQ. Not really into meat in recent years, a good experience though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I made a painting of Muhammad Ali, which seemed to be quite popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– My friends encouraged me to teach regularly and properly, even at home. It was a good call. Teaching really warms my heart and makes my day, however bad the day might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I opened my own yoga studio. Learned a lot, met many great people. I don’t feel much more fit than I used to be before. I used to practice this much when I was preparing for my YTT. Oh, and I got that yoga website \ud83d\ude00 sort of! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I did a MyoYin training, which reminded me of a high quality functional yoga teaching style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Turns out across the street [XXX] which almost killed the mood. But thankfully, it also motivated me to start developing my marketing strategy properly. Not that I know what I’m doing. But I’m enjoying the process \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I started a proper anti-inflammatory treatment that really works. Now I can finally grow my hair long \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I went to Kielce, Bia\u0142e, Jantar, Gda\u0144sk (twice!) – all the touristy stuff. Also visited Ireland – including Belfast this time. I am still a Republican at heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I met [XXX]. Even though it was a complete misunderstanding, it had led me to something beautiful: healing. And not just from last year – from many many years before that. I believe in love now, again. But that’s not what matters. What is important is that my relationship with intimacy got fixed. I am letting myself get close with others and I am letting myself finally feel at home. I also learnt that some bridges are meant to be burnt, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I relied on my friends again, but this time I also allowed myself to appreciate them emotionally as well. How is it that others clearly see the [XXX] right away, while I have to read a book and diagnostic criteria to figure that out? Shoutout to everyone else that is autistic out there \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– My cat is appreciating the new me; she sits next to me all the time, and asks for cuddles! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I finally managed to finally establish my personal yoga practice. This is important – if I want to be a good teacher, I need to have a strong personal practice. I also managed to stop drinking alcohol or coffee. I appreciate how I feel now. Turns out happy people don’t drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– I even got myself a Christmas tree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some ideas for 2025?
– I want to properly visit Toru\u0144.
– I want to have a coffee in Krakow and by the seaside. And in the mountains. A relaxed coffee, not a stressful one.
– Still need to get rid of excess junk at home. Anyone wants to buy skiing gear?
– Finish reading all the books I started in 2024 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
