Focussed and Flourishing in 2024

In the previous three months, I have been earning efforts to practise (as significantly as I authentically can), unlearn and delve into a phrase that landed into my getting, throughout the Yule time.
Ironically, even though my WOTY 2024 is Focussed, this is the longest I’ve taken to create and publish a put up. Lol! I practically gave up on it, and then I did not!
Very well, offering up never existed in my scheme of factors.
Right before I get started off on what my WOTY will translate to, I’d like to share how January-February 2024 panned out to be just the reverse of Focussed. If it hadn’t been so a lot about “unfocussing” I would not be where I am in March.
I’m WIP (operate in Development), on my way to going for walks the ropes of earning the most effective possible initiatives to convert Focussed and Flourishing into my sweet actuality.
Leanne’s of Cresting the Hill writes in a person of her site posts: “You’ll realise that you require the rough components to sleek your edges and to turn out to be wiser and far more compassionate.”
The un-focussing has basically turned into developing blocks that have served me square again my attention to Aim, so I can Flourish.

Identifying my WOTY
Target on Focussed
The DH and I were on a family vacation in the woods, bidding 2023 a healthful, mother nature infused goodbye. For all motives synchronous, Target held exhibiting up.
Whether it was a book I was looking through, a random social media concept, our discussions, or just items I said ended up bringing “focus” to the fore. It’s uncanny how it gently stored slipping into the aura of my becoming, unabashedly devoid of making as well substantially sounds. That is how the universe functions – silently.
On our holiday vacation in the forests our awareness was perpetually focussed on alarm calls, monitor marks, spotting numerous species of birds that flinted by and preserving an eye on the tiger. Obviously, the birds and all the wildlife taught us the great importance of focussing our eyesight, although patiently waiting for character to unfurl what was intended to present up.

That Highway Journey
As we remaining the forests right after a quick, early morning breakfast, to drive uphill into the mountains, we lost our way and went way also quite a few miles in the reverse course. That’s when Focus once yet again arrived handy. Some existence of thoughts, and I guided the DH back. That’s what we gals are meant to do. -).
As we drove into the meandering mountain roadways, the sunshine sank into the horizon. We were led into narrow, steep paths, plunged in pitch darkness and with no web link to boot. That’s when realisation dawned how we dependent we are on Google maps, and a lesson to hold a actual physical map useful!
Our only would like at that point of time was, for us to attain on time to delight in the perks of a scorching meal. We experienced no snack on us, and there was almost nothing on the way that would sustain us. We attained our destination, way past 8:00 PM. But not without having the DH’s focussed driving, my asking the universe to manifest a safe and sound trip that would get us to our destination on time, with a number of form Samaritans encouraging us obtain the way. Thank you universe, pricey samaritans, and thank you to us. 🙂

It was also uncanny, how on a day right before New Year’s Working day I occurred to examine Balaka’s blog (I was offline, most of the holiday, and becoming in constrained network zones helped with the tech detox). Lo! Behold, I learned she experienced a similar WOTY- Aim that you can study listed here! It is like the universe was conspiring to frequently nudge me towards mine.
Abundantly Flourishing
There was nevertheless one more phrase that considered match to be aspect of my WOTY 2024 because it kept popping up time and once again in the guides I examine, the terms that stood out in a podcast, or someone randomly declaring it out loud. The phrase was truly abundance which for me translated to Flourishing. Following all when we prosper and prosper, we turn out to be ample.

What you Emphasis on Prospers
Here’s what it signifies to me, to be Focussed and Flourishing:
1. Pursuing Designs, Routines and Rhythms – I strive to be a pattern follower, and at the exact time enjoy the randomness of existence, and flowing with the place my day usually takes me. It’s a required portion of dwelling lifestyle in stream. Stream also usually means adhering to our routines, regardless of whether it is health, function, or perform. It provides our boat the sails and direction. I have observed how nicely I prosper, when I concentration and remain aligned to a rhythm – both equally the circadian and life’s.

2. Completion – End what I start. I have been largely doing that in lifetime, yet I realised considering the fact that this site is a enthusiasm and interest there are a number of sequels, I will need to compose of my before posts. Not just for my visitors, but also myself. To give me that feeling of completing the circle. This applies to a handful of other items way too.
3. Relationships – Commit much more time to create valuable, excellent pockets to nurture relationships which consist of 1 with myself, mi familia, my furry companions and my close close friends. When we have a nutritious romantic relationship with ourselves, it translates to a satisfying one with individuals who matter and add benefit to our lives.

4. Vocation Path – Channel my internal Goddess into my passion for wildlife, conservation, sustainability and Interspecies conversation. This features my humbles alliance with diverse species. We now connect with it Nature’s Voice, and here’s the link to the web page.

I intend to proceed focussing on executing the ideal I can, to make a distinction in this location of my contacting, and to the planet at large.
5. To be – What I was born to be: a Human Becoming not Human Accomplishing. In this day and age of hustle and go, I intend to focus on likely with the sluggish, one day at a time. I am striving challenging to aim and flourish with the getting.
6. Wellbeing, Wellness and Health and fitness – To be constantly focussed on my health and fitness and wellness objectives. Including operating on my total effectively being – bodily, psychological and emotional. This translates to taking in nourishing foodstuff, steady routines- yoga, strength training, cycling and meditation for the thoughts and soul.

7. Choosing Compassion, Kindness and Peace- Entice only all those people today who are focussed in creating loving kindness (metta) and mudita (pleasure at other people’s accomplishment) their goal. Dropping judgements of any type. Also to continue carrying out my bit for the homeless community animals, rescued wildlife, and the lesser privileged.

“It is not for me to judge a different man’s existence. I should decide, I must decide on, I should spurn, purely for myself. For myself, by itself.”― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

8. Attracting Abundance – Honouring the abundance that will come my way. Just the way I delight in the procedure of giving, and doing for some others, I would like to be take pleasure in and knowledge the useful joy of acquiring, minus any awkwardness. Most of us are conditioned to be just givers, and we neglect that it’s pertinent to also get with open arms and grace.

9. Stability – At 51, all I desire for is peace, simplicity, joy and equanimity of physique, mind and soul. This also entails staying negligible and true to my pledge to do my bit for this blue world, no matter if its is as a result of my life style of conserving the sources of this planet, or minimising my carbon foot print and residing sustainably. All this, though building a variation to mother nature and wildlife at huge, in a sustained method.
10. Gratitude – I choose to target and continue on to be in a condition of gratitude, for that which is. As we emphasis on gratitude, the presents of goodness and abundance multiply manifold.
Even though, I walk this route of Focussed and Flourishing this quote by Leo Babuta encapsulates it all wonderfully:
“Instead of focusing on how much you can accomplish, concentrate on how a great deal you certainly enjoy what you’re accomplishing.”
