《Regarding last year's activities and challenges》

Last year was a year where I continued to submit entries to public competitions and keep getting rejected, as usual, challenged myself to go to the movie theater to watch films, challenged myself to read paper books, and added home karaoke to my muscle training routine.

I think there were many challenges to regain the things I used to take for granted but could no longer do due to illness.

Instead of traveling far outside the prefecture, it was also a year where I went out a lot to nearby places like local temples, shrines, and the sea.
I felt that the fatigue that comes from such outings became a little lighter this year.

Also, it was the year I started medication for my developmental disability.
Although I have a long history of visiting psychiatric clinics, I had never received such a diagnosis, so it feels like things have finally started moving.
I feel like I've calmed down by about a millimeter, so perhaps from the outside, I might look much calmer.

I'm feeling down because I've been wanting a solid 8 hours of sleep lately, whereas 5-6 hours used to be enough, and I can't wake up at the time I want to, but even so, if I told my past self that I'm waking up in the morning in a good mood without an alarm, they probably wouldn't believe me (lol).
I think maybe it means I'm using my brain enough during the day to need 8 hours of sleep?

Oh, that's right. Last year was also the year I started having a helper and a visiting nurse come to see me!
Man, it's incredibly helpful and I'm so grateful.

《Regarding this year's challenges》

By the way, my goals for this year are to increase my walking time, save up capital for starting a business, and carefully examine and organize my paperwork so that I can hit the ground running.

Also, the book I bought was a workshop-style one, so I'm thinking of working through the exercises in this book during the first half of this year.
This overlaps two things: a challenge to do the exercises and a challenge to my brain function to regain the habit of reading paper books! This is crazy lol.

I'm also gradually understanding my mysterious constitution little by little, and I hope to be able to get along well with my own body.
Lately, I've been using trial and error to figure out how to summarize the relationship of 'Yui' on my blog!

Also, even though I declined an offer from a friend to take over their tarot cards a few years ago, I received a brand new set of tarot cards as a Christmas present last year (lol).

Yes, I've received a forced order to do it!
I'll do it!
I'll do my best!

My brain still isn't working well enough to do tarot readings the way I want to, but I'd like to ask for everyone's cooperation again to help me memorize the cards, so please look forward to it!

Also, speaking of fortune-telling, I'm also studying numerology a little bit.
I haven't paid to learn it, but I'm in the middle of training myself to memorize the grateful information scattered in open source.

By the way, my Life Path number is 11, and almost all the others are 9.

With high antennas for both spiritual matters and human subtleties, I'll keep at it steadily and flexibly.

.........................................

It's a New Year where I'm feeling grateful for the blessings, while struggling with the leftover Osechi (New Year's food) that I still haven't finished eating, without even having time to eat Nanakusa-gayu (seven-herb porridge).

I will continue to be active this year in a way that is comfortable, fun, and full of happiness, while also taking on the challenge of recuperation, so I will be at my healthiest ever!
I look forward to your continued support, everyone❤
