2018 is so far best year of my adult life. How has it measured up for you?

The concept of time is a facade but lets discuss this calendar year.

For me-


This year I worked HARD on my mental health. Changed my diet to 90/10 Vegan. Became comfortable being alone. Worked hard and got a 10k raise at work. Raised my credit score 100 points. Loved myself more than I ever have. Grew a deeper connection with my daughter, had her see me work my way out of a deep depression. Which I think was an invaluable lesson. Finally got my household more established, cozy (after abandoning EVERYthing ive ever owned in 2016 to leave an abusive relationship). Stopped self medicating with drinking. Learned a lot about who I am as a woman. Walked away from a toxic friendship. Stopped settling.


In 2019 I hope to buy a home. Increase my confidence. Visit my family out-of-state more often. Take my daughter on vacation to another country (she did Barcelona this year and it changed her world view positively). Raise my confidence even higher. Bank more money. Pay off last bit of debt. Fall further in love with myself, and in turn with the world. Take my yoga practices to a new level.


What has this year done for you? Was it a building year? Was it a year that tore your structures down to prepare you for rebuilding and growth (that was 2015-2017 for me)? What do you hope to accomplish next?

It has been so-so for me.. it’s been good as far as work goes, a lot of positive recognition, I’m kicking ass when it comes to my career and I’ve been offered multiple promotions and other benefits.


Emotionally, not so good. Kind of in emotional limbo. I moved out and left a 10 year relationship with my sons dad in June after discovering that he’s still in contact with his ex. I already had trust issues because I found out he cheated back in 2016 and I was just never able to regain that trust again .


But here I am, several months later still wanting my family back (including him). He is still my best friend and the father of my son, and we get along really well which doesn’t make matters any easier.


As far as mental health mine seems to be getting worse.. increased anxiety and bouts of depression. I need to try going vegan. I think our diet contributes to our mental health more than most people realize, and I’ve been eating like shit lately. 👎🏼👎🏼

You're right. Diet affects the brain


Not just what you eat, what you watch, what you listen to.


It all has an impact

I’ve already been good at filtering those other things out, I don’t watch much tv and I’m really picky about what music I will listen to now. I just need to get my shit together when it comes to the food part. Lol I love comfort food
