Goodbye 2017, I’ll kinda miss you…
The end of the year often brings about self-reflection. Whereas it’s something a lot of us have in common, the ‘reflecting’ part naturally differs from person to person. I think self-reflection is important for personal growth, but I try not to do it too often. So instead of making resolutions at the end of the year, I prefer to reflect on what’s been.
Goodbye 2017
The end of 2017 wasn’t the best for me or my family, but in many ways I guess it put me in a better position to think a bit about how I’ve grown over the past year, and what I’ve accomplished. You see there might have been a lot of bad things happening in 2017, both internationally and closer to home, and it can be really tough to try and focus on – let alone remember – the good stuff going on. So in an attempt to try and be more positive, I did my best to focus on the ‘good stuff’.
What did I accomplish in 2017?
When I looked back at my year and started really thinking about how I’ve grown, and where I am now, I realised that amongst the rubbish stuff, a whole lot of good things did happen. I actually accomplished a lot, both personally and with my friends and family. It was the year I…
- Took a break from working full-time
- Travelled to:
- Went on a bunch of adventures with Yasumi
- Finally started planning my wedding!
- Stopped unnecessary worrying about social media
- Went back to working full-time, in a new exciting role
- Spent more time taking care of my mental health
Some accomplishments were bigger than others, and some will continue on in to 2018 (hello, wedding planning hell!). And I couldn’t have done it without the support of my close friends and family.
Thanks to all of my new & old readers who stuck with me on the ride that was 2017!
