Mood for 2025 | Day in the life RCD

Hello RCD readers,

I survived almost a month. This is my last week for January. And when somebody asked how you feeling about 2025. The song is on repeat "I think I like this little life of mine". 

I'm the happiest I've been in a long time. It does make me nerveus like it's going too well. This too shall pass. But this time I know who is in control so I'm good.

My mood for this year will be pure joy. Nothing has stressed me out. I'm not giving them a chance. I love how my life is going and I can't do anything but say thank you Lord. 

Going to church again

As most know I've been on a journey to strengthen my relationship with the Lord. And going to church was one way. It went pretty well last year. I had a stagnation with reading my bible for self study but it's going again. I feel connected with hearing and understanding the word of God. Last Sunday was a perfect sign that I'm doing what God wants me too. Listening to His words.

Kind souls

I have reconnected and met new friends. Sometimes you are so use the bare minimum from people. That when you meet kind souls. Your heart skips a beat. This year we are making an effort to feed friendships that were created with these kind souls. The effort we sometimes don't put with adult friendships. 

Ballet class

I have two different days extra then I often give class too. But I'm going to see them out this month and let God show me which are good for me. I've not chosen to participate in recitals. Mostly I don't have the time for that. Or I'm stretching myself to thin. So I'm enjoying the extra exercise my body was urging for. And leaving it as that. My challenge for this year would be to becoming a better teacher. My main focus is jazz and second would be giving my classes the teacher they deserve by educating myself.

Selfcare

I have done myself a disservice for years. I'm trying to put the focus back of health this year. 

Annual check ups that I don't like but have too. Female hygiene which isn't talked about a lot but as an adult I'm taking this more serious. Mental is already a priority for years. From learning to deal with stress, anxiety and life's downs. That's where God comes in. He is the one that reels back in a lot that I use to put  focus on friendships and relationships for comfort. And I've learned a valuable lesson with that mistake. They should add with the helping and that's it. Because they will disappoint in the long run. Some incapable of doing this and some have their own worries that they can't step up. So leave out my worries towards them.

Cooking again

I miss cooking for fun. I love cooking something fun for the people I love.  I still do this but for the kids which means not a lot of variety.  But I would love to cook again and not feel like I'm going into the grocery budget. And that is really working out.  Slowly but surely. 

Joy and peace

OMG. I'm proud that I can hold up my promise to myself of not holding on to people their inability to be accountable for their actions. And I act accordingly. I don't beg. I don't feel the need to overly do myself because I'm overthinking "maybe they are being an ass because they are going through it". I treat you like an adult. And I don't fake it. I'm kind but stopped being nice so that @$#% can feel comfortable. But the funny part you get more respect which I hadn't seen in a while. People will try you but you decide how they keep treating you. They will adapt. And vice versa. I adapt to other's boundaries.  I don't push my way of thinking to anybody anymore. If you believe a cow can fly. Well my mouth is shut and let you wait on the cow to fly. 👀

Growth

Work wise. I have a long list. But I'll see what is possible and what I can make a reality this year with the Lord by my side. The biggest one's for now 

• Setting up financially for success 
• Finishing my at home office
• Getting RCD online
• Learning to give better quality services this part includes ballet (becoming a better teacher)

I believe these are the things I have control over and work on. Everything else is in God's hand and between me & our Lord.
