Now for the recap...
- Birthday was quite wonderful, sky-lanterns and flowers. The year started off quite well.
- I gained about 10kg :D Enjoyed food quite a lot and allowed myself to 'let loose'
- In terms of marriage it has been a very challenging year, my emotional capacity to deal with events was stretched to the maximum and I'm truly proud of the person I have become.
- Restarted my long lost reading habit
- Coloured my hair for the first time
- Got my roots done for the first time ( what I usually do is cut my hair very short and straighten it )
- Decided to keep my hair long and stick to one hairstyle instead of getting a haircut every time I get upset
- Went whitewater rafting for the first time, It was so great!
- Left my highly prestigious cooperate job to the surprise and shock of many because I felt so trapped and felt like that place was sucking the life out of me. I gave my resignation without getting a confirmation from any other job. I was hired by another company which allowed me to try a completely different role. This was one of the biggest risks I have taken in my life and it paid off.
- Started a monthly donation for Off-road feeding program
- Stayed in a suite for the first time on my own (Ah the Jacuzzi)
- My friend decided to end her marriage, which gave me quite a lot to think about
- When your worst fears come true, you realize that even when you loose everything you will be ok and the right kind of people will walk into your life at the right time when you need them the most
- Learned quite a lot from listening to and reading posts of Elizabeth Gilbert, one of the best quotes was 'our history is what we tell our-self, you can make it sound depressing or you can tell a good story'. That's what I do now, I interpret all of my challenging experiences as opportunities that helped me grow.
- I learned that I will always be taken care of in times of need, by family, strangers , friends and most importantly by myself, I will always be ok.
- Reading 'Awaken the Giant Within' by Anthony Robbins has been truly amazing, I learned so much about myself and life.
- I realized the importance of the effect I have on how i make others feel
- Learned that I should never sacrifice my happiness and I should always put myself first, That keeps me happy and satisfied and strong. That enables me to be a better human being and be of service to others
- Learned that sometimes things I thought I wanted are not what I want at all, life is all about trying out and finding what you want
- Learned to follow the signs and trust that i'm always in the right path
Goals for 2016
- Become a fitness fanatic
- Start fostering puppies
- Be involved at a much higher level with charities
- Continue 'CANI-Continuous And Never ending Improvement'
- Reserve daily 30 min 'me time'
- Be on the path of becoming a partner/owner of a company
- Become involved in building an animal shelter
- To go on trips with the entire extended family and enjoy it
- And my wish for every year- inner peace (i'm somewhat there already, but need to practice calmness and continuing to maintain the inner peace regardless of the outside events)
I guess that sums it up.
Merry X'mas and a Happy New year to everyone out there!
