(One of my favourite pictures out of all my creations.)
In 2025, I expressed my strong desire to heal. There was a lot that happened in one year and all that activity only left a sour taste in my mouth. In 2025, I made decisions impulsively, acting solely on what I felt which all led to bitter moments of regret. Regrets that ate away at my soul and drained life from things I once enjoyed. Beyond all that, there was the “how do they see me” factor which consisted of me projecting most of my insecurities onto others. This hindered me a lot.
I decided to detoxify and for me to do that, I knew I needed to start at the root. The root being linked to my origins and nothing to do with people around me. It was all about my environment and who I let dwell in it.
I took the time to pick out materials that’ll help me see this through. Books, podcasts, workshops. Things that would constantly remind me to be gentle, accepting and kind with myself. I also had to remove myself from situations that triggered my anxiety and stress. I was MIA for a long time within these spaces and honestly, I don’t see myself going back there. What’s there to go back to?
Seeing how setting a theme for my year helped me keep on track, I decided to try it again this year.
For this year, my theme is Confidence. I didn’t just wake up and choose that. It took a while for me to settle on that. All I did was look at what my goals were and how much I had achieved so far. I had already accomplished two goals for this year two days prior. It made me so proud and it gave me the booster I needed to believe that the other “rather difficult” parts could be accomplished. Hence, the theme.
Moving along, I took today to source out materials I would need to keep me conscious of my theme. I always like to keep my thoughts saturated with what I want to see happen as the time frame for whatever I want to accomplish ends.
I have selected the books I want, I would need the year to properly settle in so I can decide what seminars and/or workshops I would be attending if there’d be any. I have yet to settle on the Two people who I’d listen to this year. That’s the podcasts. I’d like recommendations if you have any.
It’s late into the afternoon here and I have just a few more things to do for the day. Aside all that, I also created a wishlist. Things I want to start getting steadily gearing towards my professional and financial goals. For now, I rent these materials but I would start to pull together whatever I can so I can get mine to use (and rent out – extra income).
I’m looking forward to the version of myself I’d meet by the end of 2026.
