Personally, mine was a balance between good and bad. Like yin and yang.
Let's begin with New Year. I made milo oreo pudding which turned out so well.
Then, I made a promise to myself that I will wake up early and go jogging.
I set the alarm at 7 everyday and I will wake up at 7.30 after snoozing. Still good. I did jog at least 4 times a week. Still a progress.
I also planned to cook breakfast and lunch everyday. Dinner will be leftover from lunch. Did I achieve it? Yes, half a month. I slacked off since 16th January because it was emotionally difficult week. I had many issues going on this week. All sorted within that week itself. Phew!
Pongal.
I was not so keen on doing boghi because at that point of time there were bushfires at Australia and I don't want to contribute to more thinning of ozone layer. We already are without realizing.
As much boghi was throwing away old things and cleaning house, I felt it was more important to do that to inner self.
Pongal is a Thanksgiving day to Sun and nature in particular. I did not buy new pot, tie the thoranam and sugarcane due to some circumstances but I will do in future of course.
How could I forget about my birthday. It was a good celebration. Batu Caves, Darbar and I ended it off with Cappuccino Cheesecake.
My January take aways would be grab oppurtunies whenever it shows up, healing your inner self is very important, it is ok to say no if you are not happy about it and you can achieve whatever you set your mind into.
Happy February!
