Still Getting Started…
Well, January 2025 is already coming to a close, and I feel like I have not done a thing to kick-start the year! I’ve got to tell you though, 2024 was not the year I intended it to be and quite frankly, I wasn’t sure I would make it to the end. I spent the majority of the tail end of the year learning and discovering more about myself; trying to name all my quirks and understand them better. I started therapy in May through which I found out I was struggling with anxiety and depression; and that I currently have a preoccupied/anxious attachment style; I am an enneagram type 4; and my Myers Briggs personality type is ENFP-T, the campaigner. Now, at the end of January 2025, I still feel like I am recovering and still learning. I am trying to heal and move forward, but that’s the thing about having anxiety and depression. Anxiety makes me feel like I am about to burst through my chest, but never quite making over that hump. Depression immobilizes me and surrounds me with cold thick air. In gaining a better understanding of myself and being able to name these things, I hope to dig my way out of these slumps and find myself living the life I have been dreaming about in the end.
This year, I want to get more creative, express myself more, and find steadiness. Steadiness is my word for 2025 and it’s all about continuing the balance practice, finding stability, and easing my way into a new era. I have a feeling this will be a year of gradual transformation. So, let’s get into it, here are my goals/manifestations for 2025: First and most importantly, I want to increase my income this year, whether that is by finally selling some photographs from Sunday Classic Photo Company, getting a promotion, or finding a second job. I want to be able to save money so that I can possibly start looking at houses later this year. I know I will be in Colorado for the long run. Idealistically, this photography company will start making money this year. In effort to do that, I plan to do a photography challenge at some point this year. I think doing one will really help clarify my skills and maybe I will even develop some new ones. Of course, I will share all of my endeavors here and on my social media accounts, namely my YouTube channel where I tend get as real as I do here.
Through sharing my experiences, challenges and achievements, I hope to create more community in my life. As a social being, community is important aspect for continuing growth and development. Whether I find more community at the barn I board my horse Easton at, making new Denver friends, or with my social media accounts, I want to surround myself with more like-minded individuals who can also challenge and encourage each other and myself to always do more. This year I want to be inspire to take more action. As I share more, I plan to reach 100 videos on on my YouTube channel prompting subscriber growth, inspiring more followers on the photography company’s Instagram page, and maybe even write a children’s book about the evolution of south eastern coyotes. If any of what I have said here interests you, sparks your attention, or inspires you to take action, I hope you follow along; I would love to share with you. If you already follow me elsewhere, be sure to watch out for updates on the photography challenge! Enjoy the Journey
