Reflections & Resolutions

It’s 2022 – time really does fly! 2021 had its ups and downs (to put it very simply), with several life lessons being learned along the way. I feel optimistic that 2022 will be better, I’m excited to continue working and growing with C Squared Music, and pushing myself further with my studies. Music wise, there are lots of plans for both Disconnected Souls and Sensory Enigma… As well as one or two collaborations!

I don’t expect 2022 to suddenly become an amazing year, but putting into action the lessons I learned from last year I hope I can make it better!

And so, writing this on the 9th January (my new blog writing day!) I ask: how’s your first week in January 2022 been? I’ve started introducing some positive changes – some are working out better than others! Trying to improve your life/lifestyle will always be a case of trial and error, and to be fair to myself, it’s only been one week.

Some good things that happened this week:

– Getting back into work with plans to improve how I do things.
– New clients/opportunities opening up with my PR work.
– My music is making good progress: 7 out of 13 Sensory Enigma demos underway!
– I’m making reasonable progress on my studies with editing my current chapter.
– I also attended an interesting online seminar this week exploring publishing options post PhD completion.

This being said, I’ve had some set backs too. My sleeping pattern is not ideal – ultimately I may have to seek proper help with this as it’s been an issue for some time now. And, I had a couple of ‘surprises’ which are being dealt with! Life is never easy, is it?

On the whole, I’ve had quite a good start to the year. I’ll continue to work on my work-life balance, taking a more stoic approach to those unexpected events and trying to develop healthier habits.
