It’s the fifth of January and it feels like I’ve already done so much. I tried to avoid overplanning at the beginning of the year but it doesn’t take away the energy wave I’m currently riding on (and which keeps me awake at night too). In good and in bad.
Until this very moment, I’ve seen light installations in Lux Helsinki, had several arguments with my daughter, wrote four random texts and the morning pages every morning, realized I still have some mulled wine left, cleaned home and took all the Christmas decoration down, met my parents, cried, read one book and a half book, learned more about conversion optimization, Google Adwords and Google tag manager, written CSS, been in the office more than once, sketched a new product, updated some of our own websites, published ten Instagram posts, read about solar eclipse, ate sushi, started a new calendar and a new mini notebook for random thoughts, published an article in my blog, found two black tunics and two silver spoons from a second-hand shop, bought a pink stool with fake fur on it and a mini Wacom board for work, got our leftover products back from the Christmas pop up shop, found an interesting new blog, participated in the social media challenge and started to use reusable cotton pads. AND I wrote this particular text and it’s the fifth of my daily writing challenge tasks.
Things I haven’t done in this year even I wanted to:
-had any exercise
-drawn
-ate berries
-stop worrying
-answer all the emails and other messages
-burn candles
-meditate
-put some posters on the wall
Tomorrow we will bring our new kitten home and on Tuesday all the school and work and so on start again. While I was writing this, it started finally snowing. It seems we’re in full gear already. Just bring it on, I may not be ready but I’ve already started!
Let this year be magical af! (And please let me sleep a bit too!)
Learning new skills and developing and discovering yourself is mainly privately done hard work but sometimes it helps to find some spark and inspiration from someone else too. I have taken several different workshops and courses during this year and last one and I think those might inspire you too.
I have lot of piercings but the one (or in this case two) that awoke the most questions are tiny shiny ones on my decolteé. Wearing a top where my microdermals can be seen is a hell of a sure way to get you in the conversation anywhere. So what are those and the question …
The narratives we tell ourselves are a big part of who we are but those are also the key to who we could become. What kind of stories do you tell yourself?
When I was a kid, I used to bury myself on the sofa with a pile of books I had borrowed from the library. Some things seem not to change that much. We haven’t had a sofa for years (or TV either) but the pile of books is still essential part of my everyday life.
