2024 Year End Review
So, 2024 is practically over! ๐
When I sat down a year ago to think about my goals, I wanted 2024 to be the year of rest and taking care of myself.
And Iโm happy to look back and realize I achieved these goals.
In 2024 I focused on Health:
- It was great to get the monoferrin infusion which raised my energy levels, and I felt much better.
- I continued regular therapy.
- I saw a naturopath to address my digestion issues and started taking probiotics and supplements for my gut health.
- I did an endoscopy and adjusted my acid reflux medication, which mitigated some of the symptoms I was having.
- I adjusted my diet and other medications.
- I kept my morning routine to the point it became automatic. It doesnโt matter if Iโm on vacation or not, I will do my morning routine rigorously.
- My wellness is more important than anything else.
Iโve also worked on managing stress and workload thanks to these practices:
- Morning routine with yoga + meditation + journaling
- Time Blocking at work to manage workload
- Work Shutdown routine to manage stress
- Regular exercise
