I’ve realised how hard I’ve worked this year and found myself questioning what progress I can truly claim. Perhaps I’ve been too hard on myself, feeling like I’m not quite where I hoped to be. But when I take a step back, apply some logic, and practice self-love, I see that I have every reason to congratulate myself for doing my best.
This journey has been about more than just work; it’s been about learning new skills and navigating life’s complexities. I’ve juggled responsibilities with family and grandchildren, managed my home, and adapted to the challenges of rising living costs. Balancing these daily demands takes a toll on both mental health and physical well-being. As someone of retirement age who isn’t retiring, I’ve started to treat myself with more care.
Perhaps the greatest lesson I’ve learned this year is the importance of stopping overthinking, taking moments to sit in the sun, seizing opportunities as they arise, and living each day in gratitude for everything I have.
For Nettle Revolution, with all its hopes and aspirations, I see exciting progress on the horizon. I’ve been working hard to expand my product range, and I trust that by implementing the wisdom I’ve gained, staying connected with nature, and remaining open to new opportunities, everything will unfold as it’s meant to.
So, as I look back, I would say 2024 has been a great year. I’m healthier, happier, and feeling younger. Most importantly, I’ve had the privilege of inspiring and encouraging others—through my workshops, my online posts, and by leading with example.
I feel truly blessed and take pride in my journey, looking ahead with excitement and confidence as I continue to grow in every way!
