You may think I\u2019m weird, but I feel like I\u2019m in an extended version of 2020\u2026 It\u2019s like bingeing on Homeland on Netflix and wanting to stop watching but wishing it never ends and then when it finally ends, you are stuck in the false reality of the shitty ending?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what 31st Jan 2020 was like for me – and I was only at Season 4. When it hit midnight, I was thinking is it really a new year? Is it going to get worst? Or stay the same? <\/p>\n

What is possible about the new year? <\/h3>\n

Every year since 2017, I\u2019ve been sharing on my blog – my List of Possibilities for the new year. You may call it by a different name – New Year Resolutions, or Goals etc. <\/p>\n

I was struggling with writing out the list because it just didn\u2019t feel right to me, to write about what\u2019s possible when things are still uncertain. It could be a impossible list but I know anything is possible if we come from \u201canything is possible.\u201d But still \u2026.we all know what happened in 2020\u2026\u2026..COVID-19 happened and is spilling over my 2021! <\/p>\n

I started writing out my 2020 High moments, and ironically my high was IVF journey, not that we started a new cycle. On my 2020 list of possibilities was to begin again in KL. And that didn\u2019t go down as expected, and that\u2019s okay. <\/p>\n

My IVF journey is indeed a blessing because it trained me well. It trained me to be okay with the waiting, to be okay with the inability to meet people, to go on holidays, to teach a yoga class; to manage the frustrations over not being to do what i want.<\/p>\n

With the social distancing and mask-wearing, for the first time I was one up with the rest of the world, when i used to feel like I was left behind.<\/p>\n

Something to celebrate yes?<\/p>\n

And when I looked to 2021, and if every day there\u2019s an opportunity to BEGIN AGAIN, I can re-create my list NEWLY, changing the words, so I have access to more self-loving in 2021.<\/p>\n

In 2021, I\u2019m saying YES to ME.<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m saying YES to celebrating my Joys in 2020 instead of the Highs or the Wins.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m saying YES to Surrendering to whatever came up in 2020 instead listing my Lows.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m saying YES to a Self-Care Playlist instead of a list of possibliites <\/p>\n

So here goes\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n
