Hi guys, Happy New Year, and welcome to 2023.
I say welcome to 2023 as we are about to enter February Ha.
I know its been a while since I last posted. A month but it feels longer; as we all know, January can feel like the longest month ever!
I hope you all had a great festive season.
Mine was super chill. I spent Christmas alone (by choice) and enjoyed being alone. I made a fire mac and cheese, and I was very proud of myself and happy that I didn’t have to share it with anyone else ha.
I brought in the universe by meditating, praying, journalling and practising gratitude. There are many things to be thankful for, and WE are blessed to have made it to 2023.
I started this year on a positive note:
Manifesting, which has been doing wonders. Maintaining good energy/positive vibes.
Disconnecting from people- I needed this. When I am going through something, I find that time alone to reflect and process all the feelings serves me well; distraction can only last for a short time. It’s best to find solutions to resolve the issue instead of prolonging the healing process.
As I have been doing for the last couple of years, I made a vision board. My vision board is saved as a desktop on my laptop, so every time I log on, every day, I see my vision: the goals i am working towards (the goals i have achieved, speaking it into existence).
A new thing that I did was write a letter to the universe. I have never done this before, I found it on tiktok (this app has got me in a chokehold), and I figured why not. It’s another way to practice gratitude.
Also, I am journalling more effectively. Before, I was rushing through the journaling process, doing it to say I’ve done it. Now, I am taking my time to reflect and stay present as I write about my day.
The positive things of 2023 so far:
I have been meditating longer! Honestly, I was struggling to even meditate for more than 5 minutes. Now I am averaging around 20, and that is insane to me. As you know, I have ADHD and focusing and being present can be difficult as my mind is constantly racing, but longer meditation sessions have slowed me down, and I am so grateful. The other day, I meditated for 25 minutes and was so excited! It’s a big deal for me. Go me.
I am out of the dark space I was in, and the motivation to work out has come back. I recently started jogging again and doing home workouts. I used to go for a jog three times a week during lockdown, which helped me stay motivated and productive. I am so happy I picked it back up again, and I can already see its impact on me physically and mentally.
A goal of mine is to be more mindful of my spending. I have financial goals, and I need to prioritise my spending to achieve them. It doesn’t mean I will never treat myself, but everything in moderation and my non-essential purchases must be justified.
I have been doing a great job of staying away from negative energy; this can come from people and things. I do not need to be around that as I have noticed that I absorb other people’s energy which can be quite draining.
I have stepped into my creative bag! I have been very active on tiktok (@confidantcandy), which has surprised me. I have posted consistently, and I am enjoying it. It’s a creative expression, and it feels good. I have learnt so much and laughed a lot at the app. I do appreciate the love I have received for it, and this is only just the beginning.
I have put myself on a pedestal- I used to downplay myself far too often. That is a habit that I have broken. I have been putting myself on a pedestal and will continue to. I have stepped up my self-care and taken care of myself to do this. I am sticking to a routine, and it has been paying off. I know I will attract unwavering love from others as I show myself, unconditional love. I love me.
And last but certainly not least, I have been far less stressed. I am not worrying about things I cannot control or change. There is no point in that. I used to worry and concern over the smallest things, but we are not doing that. I have developed this mindset as I firmly believe that the universe and the powers that be got me. I am covered, and I am blessed. I know that all the goals that I will achieve will manifest. I know that things are working for me in my favour. I know. The law of attraction is heavy and is working all the time!
Take Away
With all that said, I am very much looking forward to 2023. There will be many changes, love, happiness, and success, and I am ready to receive it all.
I hope you are ready to accept your blessings in 2023 as well.
Thank you for reading.
Take care.
