Rising Strong:
A Year in Review and Intentions for the Road Ahead
Introduction:
Wow! This is my last blog post of 2023. I feel like this would be an opportunity of reflection on 2023 and setting intentions for 2024. I feel like 2023 was a year of continued growth in my personal healing journey and I want to thank each of you for being apart of it.
A few of my highlights of 2023:
Started EMDR therapy to process the physical assault. I am no longer feeling shame or embarrassed by it. I forgave myself for how I treated myself afterwards.
I have learned how to put my health needs as a priority.
I got to travel and vacation in Mexico for the first time.
I became a Better Bones & Balance fitness instructor as well as improved my bone density by 10% in my lumbar spine and 6% in my hips.
I became a transformational life coach as I share my healing journey with others.
Celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary.
Became a Grandma for the first time and I’m still on a natural high.
Started this blog :)
As we move into 2024, I’ve decided my intention for 2024 is reinventing myself. This is going to include leading with curiosity and exploring possibilities. This means letting go of things that no longer serve me or that doesn’t fill my cup so I can create space for living my dreams, passions, and purpose in life.
Reinventing my life is about taking major action to let go of what was and embrace the new, forever healing version of myself. It’s about being clear and setting boundaries (I’m a recovering people pleaser) It’s about creating calm in all the chaos. It’s about self-love, self-compassion, and continuing to grow as a person. It’s about not giving a flying fish stick on what people think about me or my journey.
Conclusion:
I invite you to join me on this movement of self-discovery and putting ourselves and needs first. It’s about living fulfilled lives and not like robots by doing things because society tells us we have to. It’s about living life on our terms and living our dreams. May 2024 bring you joy and happiness!
