24 things I learned in 2024
Life is worth liviiiiing (JB voice)
No but seriously. Life is worth living fill your time with people and things that spark joy in your every day life.
Prioritizing protein is actually important
This was my year of not being scared of meat and trying to add more into my meals.
Saying no to plans is okay and you’ll be happier doing so
Whoever said no is a complete sentence is my personal Aristotle. TY for that.
What an HSA/FSA account is
I turned 26 this year so this one is pretty self explanatory.
Your 9-5 can’t and shouldn’t consume your life
Still working on this, but let’s just say starting my own business while working a 9-5 really shed a light on this one.
I really don’t hate beans as much as I thought I did
Going along with the protein thing, I keep trying beans every time I’m presented them…. one of these days I’ll like them.
When your doctor says to do a breast exam every month they really mean it and it can literally save your life
Shout out my angel of a mother for beating breast cancer and being a reminder of how important it is to check in with yourself and your body!
Comparison is the theif of joy
One of my all time favorite quotes so I had to include it because it’s so true.
When something scares you that probably means you should do it
Cough cough, moving and being stressed about money. Money will settle you just have to go live life.
Anything under a 17 hour flight is short
My flight to and from Australia single handidly cured my domestic flight anxiety. I can fly in the US without having to take Ativan (t god!!)
You will be disappointed every time you get disposable cameras developed
Funny but true, there are always going to be 4 photos you get back that are just a black page- so annoying
Not everyone will speak your name in a crowded room and that’s ok
Enter: creating a business and not always feeling supported
Drinking wine when going out Is always the better option
Not drinking hard alcohol has helped with my post drinking anxiety like soooo so much
Nothing good ever came from taking a shot at the bar
Going along with #13, staying away from shots has also helped my drinking anxiety
No water bottle will ever compare to the Brumate Era
As a woman of every water bottle trend, dating back to the days of the Swell bottles to now the Stanley craze, the Brumate Era doesn’t leak which pretty much changed my life.
Don’t listen to people who tell you you’re picky, just remind yourself you have standards!! It’s not being picky.
This one needs no further explanation.
Running isn’t so bad
Ran two turkey trots on Thanksgiving weekend and think running is my new thing….. I’m scared of a half marathon but am thinking it may make its way onto my 2025 vision board.
Life is too short to be spent with people who take your energy
People come people go, just live your life.
Getting older is literally SCARY
Was it the selecting my insurance part or realizing I’m closer to having a baby than being a baby. IDK but life is crazy and pretty short, so don’t waste your time with people, places, jobs or things that make you unhappy.
Don’t wait for the right time, there will never be a right time
This x 100!! As a wise brand once said, Just do it.
Do what’s best for you
Don’t listen to other’s opinions, trust your gut and the rest will workout
Let Them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don’t know Mel Robin’s let them theory then look.it.up. and read the book! ASAP
Invest in your health
Good food, good workouts, better life. That is all.
Life is only just getting started!!! Cheers to 2025!
