Happily Ever Woman

Happily Ever Woman

It’s funny that I’ve been sitting around pondering life today. It’s funny because I went to my favourite Youtuber Simply Victoria who is significantly younger than me and she is thinking of the same things. How to better plan her day. She runs us by her morning routine and that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to do. Streamline my life to make it simple but it seems like I can never have simple moment because of my anxiety. Yet when I sit to do my gratitude journal I realize my life is filled with all the simple moments I’ve asked the universe for. I can sit here on my day off with a cup of tea reading about how to streamline my life and that in itself is a simple moment. Soon I will run a bath and do a deep conditioning face mask. That is simple. And simple seems to be something I just fell upon by changing my job and my daily tasks.

Yes, I have resposibilities and chores. I have to pay bills and clean the house. But these things don’t seem stressful to me. I just do them. The anxiety I have all lays in my past and that is gone. It shaped the person I am today and I am grateful for that. Also, cutting coffee out of my routine seems to have ridden me of the anxiety I just need to find a way to be less drowsy in the morning. I believe that will come with time.

Victoria always says to keep it simple and that is going to be my new affirmation for the week. Simple is the best way to live in my opinion. I think it’s the best way to keep a healthy mind. So that’s my words for you today: Keep it simple.

I had some time to myself the past week and it was nice to have that time to think and reflect on my current place in life.

I have so much to be grateful for and so much to grow from. I’ve had almost 35 years of life lessons and I feel so humbled looking back on everything.

Every experience has helped me to grow into the woman I am today. That is true for all humans and I feel like I am in a great place in my life.

There are things that aren’t so happy happening in the world and in my life. This means I should go inward and focus on meditation and putting out positive vibes and content to inspire others to stay positive.

My affirmation today is: I am love and light for the people around me. I am strong and resilient. I am hope and endurance.

As I write this I sit in the tub, hot water and epsom salt flowing. I have a face mask on and am reflecting on the past year.

The theme of my life in 2022 was healing. Physically healing from a back injury. Physically healing from Covid and mentally healing from a bout of psychosis and as a result increased anxiety levels.

I read a lot of good books in 2022. My favourites were: The Pact, followers, I am Invincible, The Goddess Solution and My Paris Dream. There wasn’t one book I didn’t like.

When I look ahead to 2023 I wish for good books, good coffee, quality time with my partner, friends and family and I hope to strive to improve at work and improve myself. I also wish for good podcasts and hopefully to find a new inspiring voice to listen to or read.

I don’t know how I financially survived during 2022. With my back injury I was out of work for 6 months and my EI only lasted 15 weeks. But I did it. The bills were paid and even money saved. As I age I am getting better with money and I hope to grow financially as well this year.

The only material thing I seek this year is a new laptop. Mine is 6 years old and runs slowly now. It’s time for an upgrade.

I still love books and fashion which material things come with the territory. I will keep sharing what I’m reading and wearing on Instagram for fun.

This blog is just a spot for me to come and write when I feel the need to dump out what I’m thinking.

Lately I’ve been thinking about meditation and divination. I always am interested in the unseen and magical side of life.

As I write this it is now January 1st. After getting out of the tub yesterday I didn’t have time to finish the post.

My partner and I went to dinner last night and came home to ring in the New Year together. I am sitting on the couch with a coffee and my partner is listening to a podcast on economics and racism.

My last hope for this year is to read and write more poetry. I used to write poetry everyday. I want to get back into the habit!

Happy New Year!
