This post really nailed it for me. On so many levels. Every year for a while i have picked theme for the year. Something to put my attention toward. 2023 i wanted to try to catch the limiting language and thoughts i had. I gave that year the phrase. ‘You can have it ALL’ or shorter, the have it all year. What that meant to me was that, i could be a good dad, a good husband, be a good hotel owner, boss, and i could be healthy, have time for fitness, have time for creative endeavors, have time for friends, nature hikes…. And i could still stay on top of accounting and all the dregs that comes with being self employed… I could have all those things and no 1 thing needed to be left out or limited.
This led to me truly realizing how important time and scheduling was. i really started to focus on my health and how i scheduled my existence and things fell into place pretty well. But i saw that certain things were eating my time… and so i questioned what really deserved space and energy in my life.
This led to 2024 them…. Year Clear. I themed the year around finding clarity in all its forms. Sobriety, what was most important and cutting out some of the things that were distracting.
Now here we are in 2025, Year of the Thrive.
I’m actively moving toward all things in my life that bring and hold the Thriving energy.
So alcohol, sugars and foods that make me feel lurgy… they are out for sure.
I think the place in your journal entry above that hit me was that i dont give enough time to the deep thinking and no distractions place. I really should add it to my weekly schedule like it’s a job. But the best type of work 😉
thanks for this great post!
