Happy New Year everyone! Geth and I are (unusually) at home in Newcastle for New Year, having a lovely peaceful time as we continue through the Christmas season.
This year’s New Year Resolutions:
- Finally finish my de-hoarding in the house and get started on the decorating. I CAN do this.
- Put some work into getting my creative energy back (largely by taking some downtime from my race training every now and again, which didn’t happen last year).
- Run PBs in all four main running distances – they don’t have to be big PBs seeing as I’ve already improved so much over the last two years, but I do want to keep improving!
- Make time for videogaming like it’s part of my job. It’s really important for my mental health.
- Live a slightly quieter life again – fewer trips, fewer races etc. I thrive on daily/weekly routine and get distressed if things disrupt it. Special occasions are lovely but they need to be rare or I start to resent them rather than appreciating them. No more than two events/trips per month.
- Don’t go back to regular scrolling of social media. I am so much happier since I took a permanent break from it.
Also, happy seventh birthday to my blog! I’ve not had much time for it this year (it’s often just been Phone Box Thursday posts keeping it going), but hopefully that will change in 2025.
