2019 was a crazy year for me. I really tried to hold it all together and get shit done. But between Gastroparesis (+ associated illnesses) and the wedding, I felt like I never had enough time for work. I constantly felt behind and fell short of several goals for myself.
But it’s funny, I was SO focused on those few goals that I DIDN’T hit, that I kinda lost sight of all I HAD accomplished.
The lead up to the wedding was insane, the wedding itself was insane, the honeymoon was bliss but kind of a blackhole because I was on the other side of the planet. Then I came home and was severely sick for over a month with a flu-like condition that we now know was Dengue Fever from Thailand. I was still recovering when the holidays hit. I didn’t even go home from Christmas.
So by the time New Years rolled around, I felt SUPER out of sorts. Just weird and discombobulated. In an effort to figure out where to start getting back on track, I looked back at the past year.
I worked SO hard. I really pushed myself mentally AND physically. I was the most fit I have been in years. I went FAR out of my comfort zone for my first time public speaking about my company to attending the United Nations 75th General Assembly among throngs of press and paparazzi, not to mention the highest profile government officials in the world.
I rebranded this whole business. That has been on my to-do list BASICALLY since I started. I’ve been thinking about it non-stop for years and now it’s been accomplished!
And just in time, I started my Youtube channel so I can start exploring this new medium for communicating with you guys. I started a TikToc (so I can keep up with THA KIDZ ya know? #okboomer) and a private fb group JUST for this community to chat.
The point of this post? Don’t sell yourself short. Make a list of things you DID do last year. Even if they’re personal things, not career things, they’re still stuff YOU TOOK OWNERSHIP over. Be proud of yourself for how hard it was and that YOU SURVIVED IT. You held it together, even when it was hard.
Pat yoself on the back ladies.
