New Year 2023



Happy…. That’s my word for 2023.  I hesitated to choose that word.  It seems bold.  Like this unattainable state of being.  There were so many words I wrote down on my list of possible thoughts I wanted to bring into this year.  Happy seems to encapsulate them.  I want to feel actually alive.  I want to live life with intention.  I want to find peace.  I want to learn new things.  I want to find a way of being spiritual without buying into religious dogma.  I want to eat foods that nourish my body.  I want to move in ways that feel good.

 

Here are some things I am thinking about for this year:

 

-        Find a system to encourage me to do the things that help me stay healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually

-        Get off my phone – which means either getting rid of social media or drastically limiting my engagement

-        READ, you would think with a global pandemic I would have read more but nope, I spent a lot my time on my phone

-        Yoga Teacher Training, I signed up for YTT starting in a couple of weeks.  I’m excited because I think this will help me grow spiritually, physically, and mentally

 

Also I think in the spirit of changing the way I engage online, spending more time blogging makes sense.  This space gives me more room for my thoughts, musings, and wandering.

 

Happy New Year everyone.
