[blog] 7. From 2024 to 2025

Good morning♪
It's Yuyu!

Since winter break started, my activity levels have dropped,
and I've been spending more time just relaxing. lol

I go out to have fun sometimes,
and I'm enjoying some nice, carefree time♡

Usually, at this time of year,
I'd be looking back on the year, but

I wonder what's up this year?
I'm not quite in that mood yet...
It's strange. lol

I'm in a que sera sera kind of mood♪

Since that's how I'm feeling, I thought I'd write a little here
to look back on 2024!😊

Every year, I set something like
a goal for the year, but

what was it this year?

It must have been a goal
that was so loose I even forgot it. lol

I don't think I really had a theme
for this past year in particular.

Stability, or maybe I should call it consolidation♪

Things have become habits even without setting them as goals!

Making things natural so they happen without me even having to think about them.

I've been doing that for the past few years, and
it's been a period where my goal was to be natural
without feeling pressured✨

Here are the goals I've set in the past♪

2021
"An unwavering self", "flexibility"

2022
"An unwavering self", "flexibility"
"A person who can influence others"

(Continuing the same goals as 2021)

2023
"An unwavering self", "flexibility"
"A person who can influence others" plus "health"

(In 2023, it ends up being the same thing again)

2024
It might be a laid-back year✨

-Compass of the Heart-

It seems I didn't set any goals for 2024. Haha

I was busy preparing for a new life, such as looking for a house for my sisters to live in.
I was busy preparing for a new life.

After she became a university student and moved out, we started living together as sisters, and until she got used to life, I went to help her, staying close to my daughter who was mentally exhausted,

and I provided full support ♡

In addition to changes in my own life, I had a job transfer, and my mind and body were exhausted from adapting to the new environment.

Yes. It was a year of change...

I deeply feel that it was the right decision to spend the year in a relaxed way ☺️

With my child having left the nest, I felt as if my role had come to an end,

and I also felt like I wanted to be
freed from all housework.

I want to rest a little...

I don't want to do anything...

I don't want to do aaaaaanything at all anymore!

Having finished the child-rearing I worked so hard at until now, I want to spend this year slowly,
letting myself be lazy...

I have spent such a self-indulgent year ♡

I mean, the way I haven't been doing housework... 💧

I'm so glad I have an understanding husband~
I'm so grateful~ ✨🙏

I've been able to rest and take it easy this past year, so
thanks to that, even when my mind and body felt overwhelmed, I was able to
take care of myself with some breathing room ♡✨

Now then, for next year...
what kind of year should I make it?

Actually, regarding work,
I've been thinking about this and that for a long time.

I want to think carefully,
and come to a conclusion that I'm satisfied with,
so I'm still struggling with it ♪

Four years have passed since I started my work, my goals for how I want to be,
and also this note,

and I feel like the things I started with
have become established to some extent.

Part of it is that I've gotten used to it,
I've come to roughly understand the content and the flow,
I've reached the point where I can think about my own style,
and now,
I feel like I'm in a position where I can
establish my own originality...

I'm feeling something like that ♪

Like the "Ri" (transcendence) in "Shu-Ha-Ri"

something like that ♪

It's still a bit vague, so
I guess I'm in a transition period, right in the middle of it all ♪

Without rushing, carefully,

while having a dialogue with myself, and taking my time,
I want to think about it♪😊

So, my goals for 2025 are...

"An unshakable self," "flexibility,"
"a person who can influence others," "health"

These are the foundation♪ My standard goals✨

Things I want to add are...

"Gratitude," "originality"

I suppose♡

Next year, I want to
be conscious of those!🤗

What kind of year
are you planning to make next year?✨

Yuyu
