Reflections

It’s time for another reflection on the past year and time for a new theme for the coming one. 

Last year the theme was: meditation. Interestingly enough i forgot about the theme till i was so busy in the first weeks of October and i started to pick up my meditation practise again. I suddenly realised that that was my theme! So i’ve finally managed to meditate for 10 mins or longer at one go. It still takes some effort when i’m at home, but when i’m in the sauna it just comes (lesson: have to go to the sauna more often *grin*). Starting this practise i also realised that i really would like to start thinking about where i want to go and what i want to do in life with regards to a job. I did enjoy my final internship at the GP’s but i didn’t feel ‘at home’. Then i was offered a job in child- and youth psychiatry and i must admit that for the first time i do feel that this is the right thing for me at this moment in time. We will see if this feeling will stay after a while and otherwise i might see if i could make a career out of this. However, i still want to make my career in Herbal Medicine as well. So busy on that too. 

So endings were a big theme this year: finishing up Uni, but also moving all my stuff from my mum’s place to ‘our’ place. Our housemate moved out in August so this means that we are now really living together. Well... sort of... cos my other half has also been out of the country since the end of August. So we’ll soon be living together and trying that out *smile*. But endings are often accompanied by new beginnings: the beginning of a job, the insecurities that follow, meeting new people, starting to live together (in a month or so).

In the year to come the theme will be: Balance. I’ve noticed that of late it’s very hard for me to keep everything balanced. Work and play, me-time and us-time, but also the balance in my physical body. So from the start of next year i’ll be working on my core-stability and in Feb we’ll start dance-classes to see if we can find our balance together in that respect. 

Wishing you all the best for the year to come, may the year be filled with love, joy, learning, laughter, and happiness.

Balance… I like that. A lot. Well then, let’s toast to a BBB year: blessed, beautiful and balanced. Big hug!
