To New Beginnings…

The year has just begun, and many people are making their New Year resolutions, it’s so sad to say that not all resolutions will be achieved by the end of the year.

While we are hell-bent on making plans for what we want in this new year it’s of great essence that we leave certain things behind in the past year. Moving into this new year with so much baggage would only mean deceiving ourselves that things would get better.

While I have a list of things that I have decided to leave behind in 2024, I'll be sharing with you all just a few.

To start with, I am letting go of whatever that will tamper with my peace.
The world is already chaotic as it is, so why should I hold on to things that bring me stress or unrest? I know it’s not always possible to avoid every messy situation as sometimes they just sneak up on you but I’ll do my best to stay clear of unnecessary trouble.

I have learnt that peace isn’t something that just happens. It’s something you fight to keep or prioritize.

Last year really tasted me. My mental health did hit the roof and I know how much it took to be happy, full of life, and bubbly again.

I’m not going back to that dark place. I’ve realized that holding onto pain and hurt only weighs me down, so I’m letting it all go.
For me, this is like decluttering my mind. Just like clearing out garbage from your space to live well, I’m clearing out the emotional baggage that no longer serves me.
It’s not about ignoring what happened or pretending it didn’t hurt. No, it’s about choosing my well-being over everything else. I mean, how can I fully embrace new opportunities or even enjoy the simple joys of life if I’m carrying around things that drain me? Hell no! Not 2025 baby😃

This year, it’s all about PEACE, HEALING, and FOCUS because I deserve to live in a space that feels light, calm, and free both mentally and emotionally.

Furthermore, I am leaving behind excessive spending when I have so much money at hand. Whenever I am able to make some free cash that I didn't have to work so much for I end up spending a lot of it.

I just keep applauding myself for a job well done and motivating myself to eat the fruit of my labour to the fullest. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with spending your hard-earned money but when you go way overboard it becomes a problem.
Buying things in excess that I do not need at the moment just because my card is loaded is a toxic trait that I am letting go of.

After my shopping spree, I look at the receipt over and over again and it looks like I was robbed at the store or someone ripped me off.

I am leaving all of this behind. I will try my very best to stick with the scale of preference concept as this would help me a lot rather than having things I do not need and dealing with the financial consequences afterward.

I don’t know how I got to this point in my life where punctuality feels far-fetched and this is something I am not proud of.
I am letting go of lateness, I will try my very best to identify tasks that slow me down and cut down on nonessential tasks that end up wasting my time.
I’ll also try to simplify some of these tasks that are essential so I am able to finish them in record time.

It’s surprising how I can get distracted sometimes and this can be by the most ridiculous things, moving forward I will try my best to minimize distractions and focus on what is important per time.

Again, I would try my very best to be more intentional with how I spend my time so I can always show up bright and early.

As they say, it’s easier said than done but this year I want to put my best foot forward and give everything I want to achieve my best shot, I know there will be lapses but, I'm willing to pick myself up whenever I fall.
