2020 Reflections…….

*Thirty-Won*

It’s my 31st Birthday!! *Throws confetti in the air and twirl*

This year was a whole DOOZY. The pandemic made 2020 feel like 5 years in one. It felt like longsuffering and hope deferred. It was an emotional rollercoaster. Rollercoasters are fun and  terrorizing at the same this. Don’t get me wrong, 2020 had some exciting moments but it was mostly terrorizing. Need I gone on….??? Lolol

Anyways, 2020 has taught me many lessons. Who would’ve thought we’d spend 9 months quarantined and working from home (🙋🏾‍♀️)? Although I have a love/ hate relationship with the pandemic, 2020 will be the one of the most memorable years of my life. I’m sharing 20 reflections and lessons learned from 2020…..

20 Reflections from 2020……

  1. Give yourself grace.
  2. Create and accept your new normal. We’ve all heard or said the phrase, “This is the new normal…” You get to decide what your new normal will look like as you adjust to these unique times.
  3. Girl, shoot your shot! (Dreams, career goals, your crush, etc.)
  4. 2020 forced us into inner healing and self work. A better version of you is waiting on the other side of this , if you steward this season well…..
  5. Boundaries. #Getthose
  6. Check-in on yourself. #FeelTheFeels
  7. Self-awareness and emotional intelligence are necessary keys to improving in life, relationships, career, etc. #DontTakeitPersonal
  8. Take inventory of the relationships or friendships that survived 2020. The ones that survived should go with you into 2021.
  9. Find your safe places.
  10. Celebrate your wins. Yes, even during the pandemic.
  11. Find your lane. Lead in your lane.
  12. You really are a reflection of your inner circle. Choose wisely.
  13. Heal. Your future self will thank you.
  14. “I don’t have time” is no longer an excuse. 2020 proved that time has stood still for you.
  15. At the end of grief is hope. Romans 8:18
  16. Anchor your soul in devotion and prayer. #BeUnmovable
  17. Stop living life on auto-pilot.
  18. I am the reason. I am the occasion. (S/o to Melissa Fredericks for this inspo!)
  19. Work hard to become the person you’ve always dreamed of becoming…..
  20. Dream again with God this time. Jeremiah 33:3

Sincerely,

Chelsa
