Life is always giving you lessons.. but often we are too busy to actually take the time to look back and. reflect, at least that is certainly true for me.
2022 has been an epic year for me in terms of goals for me, but I got a new bricks and mortar studio which is amazing and so calming for my clients and me (come say hi if you are in Sydney) and I achieved my dream of working overseas whilst travelling with my parents, something I have been working towards forever. My parents are very dear to me, and being able to be with them and for my boys to be with them is a huge priority.
But my new ritual, and perhaps this will inspire you too, is to each year write down what I have learnt or in many cases just being reminded of.
It is so crucial for your growth and just by taking a bit of time, I suggest a date with just a pen and paper (always handwritten), a cup of tea and a bit of music (you can check out my Spotify playlist here...) to just write to you!
