Again, it’s been a while since my last post and it’s 2025 already! 2024 was full of ups and downs like many. But it’s such a surprising year for me, in a good way. So, I want to start my post in 2025 with this Not-on-My-Bingo Card 2024 list!
1. Having quiet time in my routine for journaling! As someone who’s naturally skeptical about this kind of thing, even after being suggested by close friends, doing this is a big move. Well, I started to notice the benefit!2. Reading a book and not sleeping during a long-haul flight. The initial purpose was to fight jetlag (which I did!) and as someone who sleeps easily, this is new to me. I was so eager to finish this specific book Science of Yoga by Ann Swanson and I learned a lot of basic things, like where the shin is and the suggestion not to eat (a full) meal 2-4 hours before class (but may need to strategically plan a small snack).3. After practicing yoga for the past few years, I finally conquered my fear of… inversion! I also just started getting the feeling from other yoga poses like Urdhva Dhanurasana (wheel pose) and Eka Pada Koundinyasana 2 (flying splits). Still not perfect, but ready to practice.4. Ending 2024 with a 7-day 108 Surya Namaskar, even during the holiday. I thought I couldn’t complete the 108 sequence but turned out it’s managable!5. Explore new perfume! I always get the same perfume for more than 10 years and for some reason I’m just open to looking for a new one now. It’s still quite a journey to find the one I like, but based on what I’ve tried so far I just noticed I quite like perfume with musk drydown. Something I didn’t expect!
That’s all I remember! Will try to post more and I’m curious what other people’s Not-on-My-Bingo-Card!
