From Starting to Walk to Running in a Side Hustle No. 33
I had a book I bought on Kindle that I hadn't read yet.
I had some free time for the first time in a while, so I read it.
Sayaka.. The result of quitting everything I hated for a year and only doing what I liked and what excited me: The Law of Attraction was real!
This book was amazing.
It was exactly what I wanted to do from now on.
It was written about the results of choosing things that made me feel good and only doing what I liked for a year.
The author, Sayaka, quit her job and gathered only things that made her feel good, and she actually experienced the law of attraction, which made me excited while reading it.
I wanted to apply this to my own year.
I haven't quit my job. But I switched to part-time work by changing my hours, which is something I wanted to improve in my current workplace. That makes me feel better every day. Rather than staying as a full-time employee and being fed up with working every day while tied to time when I want to go home early, I wanted to work hours that allow me to be myself, even if my salary goes down, and use the extra time to spend with my children or on my hobbies. That's all.
Thinking that I decided this, talked to my boss, and that this will be implemented from April really lifts my spirits.
I never knew that prioritizing my own feelings could feel this good.
Until now, going to work felt really heavy. But now, it's truly different. I didn't know it could be this light.
If a year passes from now and I am able to write a book just like this author,

December (11th month)
What happened: I talked about reflecting on this past year and my aspirations for next year with 100 online salon members via Zoom.
Background: It led from the 3-session course to the online salon, and then to the 100-person Zoom meeting.
This year turned out the way it did because I published on Kindle back in January.
I decided to try to become someone who could get even a little closer to this kind of year.
And above all, what the author SAYAKA says:
"The people and places that want to meet the best version of you are waiting for you."
I wanted to meet this best version of myself more than anyone else.
Alright, let's do it. Anyway, let's try it, so I can get even a little bit closer.
