Here’s my honest #SelfReflection on 2020 & personal #commitments to a much better 2021. Do you connect with any of these? What’s on your list? x 👇🏼
👎🏼 WHERE I DROPPED THE BALL IN 2020:
- Loss of daily structure due to SM engagement & COVID reading
- Allowed News to re-enter my life
- Too many despairing and apathetic days
- Lots of wasted time attempting to debate online with stubborn antagonists
- Weight Training effort and goals have suffered
- Quality and timing of Sleep has suffered
- Business & income objectives have suffered
- Created a COVID workload that is a heavy ongoing demand
- Spoke far too much about COVID in front of our kids
- Certain relationships have suffered and some have been lost forever
🌱 MY PERSONAL GROWTH IN 2020:
- Sharpened my critical and deep thinking skills
- Strengthened my ability to work with official epidemiological data
- Awareness of broader political and technocratic themes and drivers
- Much better at reading in between the lines of scientific literature and statements – to see what has been omitted
- Creating insights and a tone that resonates with those seeking deeper answers
- Finding a home for my skills that was welcomed and needed – fighting for truth and a healthy future
- Developed a much thicker skin to online personal attack
- A much better understanding of self, including what triggers me
- A much better read of the human condition and how people are deeply conflicted between emotion, competing info and cognitive dissonance
- Found a way as a parent to keep our kids minds centred, balanced and aware of fear-induced hysteria
💛 MY PERSONAL COMMITMENTS FOR 2021:
- Own making next year an 8/10 (or better), no matter what
- Foresee and practice acceptance with worse-case events around me
- Let Govt decisions, actions and messages wash over me
- Own our family happiness and experience – Know what truly makes us happy and replace/create them in our own little bubble
- No more energy to antagonists – if someone wants a fight or to smear, give them nothing. No more personal defence.
- Not let COVID own me – fully take my life and emotion back
- Diversify my time – potentially re-enter the corporate world to create personal space and balance
- Continue commitment to truth with purposeful in-context analysis and thoughtful reflections (COVID & others)
- Better balance between SM consumption & Researching vs other activities – need to accept Missing Stuff, losing some Relevance & Speed
- Hard & fast rules re Social Media consumption & commenting – better protect morning & pre-bed
