I wrote 2024 today, lol.
I’ve been watching a bunch of Jared Henderson’s videos and reading his Substack and wondering what I could do to level up my content game. My theme for the year is CONNECTION. How do I translate that theme into a solution that gets the family out of our financial predicament? Am I not working hard enough? Or working hard at the wrong thing? Last year’s theme was AGENCY, and I just read some of last year’s journal entries where I talked about what that meant to me; I was thinking of it in terms of being the opposite of victimhood, you know, the ‘poor me’s’, as it’s known in AA. So how about I figure out what a combo might look like: AGENCY+CONNECTION. The AGENCY part could easily start with building a swimming habit again, getting up on an alarm and going to the pool. That gives me a higher chance of not spiralling down into a low mood. And yet I spent most of 2024 NOT going to the pool. Why is that? I know enough about mindset and habits and all that positive stuff to make a difference. So, let’s use that knowledge to make it work!
I wonder if what I just read in Aristotle can help? Hmmmm. 🤔
