Just wondering if anyone else is making any changes to their lives this year?
1- I've just deleted all my social media and only have 6 insta accounts bookmarked on my browser that are all public pages. All of these offer me some educational info. No more white noise from all the influenzas in my precious head space.
2- I'm entering my 4th year of low-buy (this is becoming trendy but, I did it first ).
I bought 5 things in total last year (including a pillow, socks, a couple of hardcopy books that I didn't want to read online, and a hoodie). It's so freeing using up what I have fully and letting every item I own be fully enjoyed and utilized. I have 3 things to buy this year but am not in a hurry to do so. This journey has been remarkably easy for me- I feel no need to own more and more stuff- but some YTers are doing it and make it seem like a real struggle. I wonder if that YT culture makes it harder?
3-I'm planning on taking a self-defense course (always wanted to and think it's only responsible for a woman to do) and hopefully some swimming lessons. I can swim but I was never taught properly, so I think it's about time I learn correct form.
4- I'm also reducing my screen time massively. I've been on medical leave so I'm online all the time to keep myself busy. That's not good for anyone!
I take loads of online courses for fun and my job also has plenty of screen time, so I need to make sure I spend my leisure time away from technology. I will likely put aside an hour one day a week to catch up on forums and send messages to friends, but otherwise I want to be relaxing in real life and spending quality time with family and friends, trying out new activities.
5- And I'm hopefully changing careers this year! I haven't quite figured out quite what I'll be doing as yet, but I have a few avenues I'm exploring. I want to be excited about going to work again- something I haven't felt in years!
What about you?
