I feel like I had just set my intentions for 2025, and we are now 3 months into it. Can we slow down please!
The first three months have been busy for me, with a lot of things happening professionally and personally. It has been exciting, and I have been absolutely loving and enjoying my year so far. Work has been super-duper hectic, but such is work, and I truly do enjoy what I am able to do. I have been selfish with who and where I spend my time and energy with and on and honestly life has be so peaceful. I cannot even explain how content I feel.
Anyway, on the personal front, if you follow me on Instagram, you will know that I have taken up a new hobby in the form of surfing. It is so much fun! When my instructor took me out to Tavarua and Namotu Island, I was almost throwing up at the thought. Inia called me brave, and that made me proud because I am brave. Especially for going out to where the professionals go and it’s your second surfing session! I fell off on coral, got my toes cut up, got caught in a washing machine of waves and survived that. I cannot wait to become good at surfing.
These past 2 weeks, I have been in Nadi, and it has been hectic, but I am glad that my work friends and I have been out and about and enjoying what Nadi has to offer. We have been enjoying cuisines that we usually don’t get in Suva. I finally made it to the Sabeto mud bath and hot spring pools for the first time and enjoyed it. If you haven’t, then you must visit it. We finished with bobo massages and it was the perfect way to finish off the work week just before we got into our second week of meetings.
Drumroll please! 3 months and no alcohol!! I love how I made a commitment to myself and stuck to it. A lot of you asked me if it was just a phase, but it's not. I made a conscious choice to not consume alcohol and it's one of the best decisions I have made. I have been out and about, attending events, a short holiday in Sydney and not once have I wanted or craved alcohol. It helps when you are surrounded by friends that respect and support your decisions. I am still able to enjoy myself without alcohol.
Apart from that, I have managed to stay consistent with my workouts and meals. I love my food but over time, I have gotten used to eating clean and more protein. I know what works for me, and I just stick to that. Like Chicken, rice and broccoli on repeat! I usually cut out fast food and sugar and it really helps me reach my ideal weight. I am a sweet tooth and you will never hear me decline dessert. One thing I don’t do is, is stock up on sweet treats and junk at home. I think I flipped a switch in my head and just made up mind, that I want to look good and feel good and I will do what is best for me to achieve that. So far so good!
Ok so onto relationships! I decided to continue fully focusing on myself and pour the love and care I would into man into my own damn self. I have had my share of lessons when it comes to dating. I feel like I have grown out of my cycle or pattern, and I am now going to leave it to the universe for my kind of guy to fall out of the sky. I know that sounds delusional but whatever! I know a lot of the girlies on IG have shared with me their own dating grief and from my own experience, girl just focus on yourself!
Life is so peaceful and content for me, and I am excited to keep this momentum going for the rest of the year. It just gets better!
