January Was Unpredictable Yet I Still Feel Positive

My first reflection of 2023.

I had hoped to be looking back on January and saying that I had lost a stone and had an abundance of new clients, but it didn’t quite go that way.

That being said, it was a positive month overall and here’s why.

Self Reflection

I got back into completing daily self-reflection in the mornings and evenings. It genuinely puts me in a better mindset. Writing things such as what I am excited about, what I am committed to and reminding myself of my main goals each morning, really motivates me.

In the evening, I write about what I have learned that day, where I have made progress and what I am grateful for. This always gives me a sense of accomplishment, especially on those days when I feel as if I haven’t done much.

On the occasional day when I don’t complete self-reflection, there is a noticeable dip in my mood, my motivation is low and my productivity is stifled. It’s definitely something that’s here to stay.

Exercise

Although I injured my ankle hindering the exercises I had been doing. I enjoyed doing those exercises and had gotten myself into a good routine. I have found some workaround exercises in the meantime and will continue with those until I can go back to my old routine.
