Year End Reflections of 2021

I have some things to look back on and reflect on from 2021...then moving on to 2022

I thought I would answer the following questions to reflect on the past year.

1.  What is the most important lesson you learned this year?

The most important lesson I learned this year is to keep moving forward and that my family is the most important aspect of my life. I need to spend as much time with them as I can. 

2.  What is the best thing that happened?

The best thing that happened this year is that I began working with this wonderful lady who owns a small online crafting store. After closing my store in 2021 we became close and I am so grateful to be able to be a part of her business.

3.  What challenges did you overcome?

I have overcome the challenge of beginning a new health journey. It was difficult at times but I have lost 47lbs as of today.

5.  What was your favourite moment?

Of course I enjoyed all the moments I spent with my family and grandchildren but my most enjoyable moment of the year was my granddaughter's 16th birthday party. 

6.  What new habits did you start?

I began an exercise regimen to help aid with my health journey. I typically go to the gym 4-5 days a week.

7. What are you the most proud of this year?

I am most proud of the journey I have started to continue my journey to get healthy.

8. What was the best decision you took?

The best decision I took was to begin this health journey.

9. How did you fail?

I failed by procrastinating on too many things, often my commitments were not completed on time and it caused stress in my life and people not to be able to take my word.

10. What got in the way of your success?

My procrastination, my weakness, and my lack of keeping my word at times. I am also weak emotionally and need to work on getting stronger emotionally.

11. What would you do differently if you could?

Stay tuned to tomorrow's blog post for the answer to this question.

12. How are you different than a year ago?

A year ago I was very stressed and overworked and did not spend enough time with my husband and family. I have definitely changed much of that.

13. What are you thankful for this year?

I am extremely thankful for the lessons I have learned this year.

14. What was the best compliment you received?

The best compliment I received was that I looked amazing after the weight loss that I have accomplished. 

15. What advice would you give your last-year self?

The best advice I would give my last year self would be to step up and honor my commitments and begin to improve my emotions, and kick my procrastination to the curb!
