2020 Reflection

 

This is the last time I write in 2020 and for so many I’m glad it’s coming to an end. For myself I have to say it was a win on many levels. A business venture is about to start and open in the new year. I continued blogging for the most part until it got cooler, than I stopped. I saved more money and taught myself some new transferable skills. Most importantly I spent time with my friends and family(social distanced unfortunately). Although I wish I could have spent time with some more.

Proud of friends and family too, cousins starting new projects, running successful businesses, buying homes all in a pandemic and most importantly being there for family.

What I’m taking into 2021...

Let go

Letting go of negativity and anything that doesn’t sit right in your soul. Letting go of the fakes and ‘snakes’. And also the things that are outside of your control.

Sustainability

From my older blogs which I have taken down. I have always been one for reselling items on Ebay and other websites. But have only ever bought one second hand item. My trusty denim jacket, £10. However I’m currently looking at pieces that will take me from season to season. Alongside this buying wisely is something that I’m more conscious of. From buying more organic, recycled or vegan products to buying more quality pieces which I can wear year in, year out.

Physical health

It started as a way of losing weight and tightening up my body. However I became part of a ‘squad’ and it was more of a mental thing. Gyms were shut and at the beginning of lockdown we weren’t able to even leave the house. So that’s all some of us had. Mentally it was the best thing for me. A little bit of structure as it was more work at home.

Mental wellness

Alongside the exercise, I’m embarked on more meditation daily. And yoga weekly. Stretching out not just my body but my mind. Focuses changed throughout the year and different aspects I was a lot happier. Walking did a lot to my mental too. And talking, talking to family and friends just to let things go.

Writing

From my vision board to how I’m feeling. Writing is the best way I can let everything out. I have so many notebooks for various business ventures but for also ‘dumping’ what’s in my mind, clearing all mental fog.

Business energy

2020 meant that I alongside a lot of others had more time. Not necessarily because I didn’t have a job, as I did . But because I wasn’t going to work everyday and saved on commuting time. So decided to work on a few goals of the year. One was to write a recipe Ebook. Which I enjoyed doing and creating the desserts. To taking another business venture to the next level, alongside opening an establishment. The hustle continues and the goals have changed but the main thing is to build on the foundations in which have been set.
