Last few days of year 2024

A busy day with daily chores but more so due to a heavy load of mental chatter.

Clock ticking in the year 2024 and work priorities but no mood or strategy to detach and be.

Best things from my day were:

1. Waking up and a few mins inner child affirmation
2. Listing the top things to do in the day i.e
• Reading 
• Yoga 
• Journaling x 2
• Amazon shopping 
• Creating a joy calendar for 2025
3. Managing my time and keeping feelings in check, I was able to plan things better and keep panic or anxiety at bay. 
4. Meeting a neighborhood aunty and discussing some punjabi dish 😀
5. Completing my yoga at the terrace along with Vipassana.
6. Getting herbal head bath and laundry 
7. Completed journaling session - one 
8. Ginger tea and time with self in the warmth of the sun
9. For second session, I went to. Nearby lake and sat and wrote and wrote. OMG, couldn't believe I would fill up 5-6 pages of a long notebook but my heart is so much at peace. And I am greatful.
10. Call at home with visiting cousins  and family.
11. Placing online Amazon orders (Dad's purchase)
12. Making online donation at a Gaushala (a cause so close to my heart)
13. Reflecting at my fears and planning a journaling sessions for it to revive certain habits.
14. Exchanging some snacks with Downstairs neighbour and a brief chit-chat.
15. Creating a new expense sheet for 2024-2025 and reflecting at 2024 projects that I could complete gave me a sense of deep satisfaction, confidence and grounding for having a purpose.
16. Planning tasks at work and telling myself to be kind to me.
17. Thinking what a "Prioritising Joy" would look like...
• Plan 2025 in 25 mins (may be a good start?)
18. Hot chocolate and some songs. 
19. Writing this post and feeling easy in my heart and being after a loooooong time.
