5 Things I did in 2024 that Changed My Life for the Better
At the end of each year I sit down and take stock of the year gone. I started writing this article before New Year's but I got distracted. Still, even though it's almost four months into 2025, I feel there are some things worth sharing as the goodies of '24 are continuing to weave their magic in my life.
1. I stopped listening to podcasts
Huh? How is that a good thing you may ask? Well, it's not that I stopped being interested in learning new things and making myself available to new perspectives.
It's simply that I stopped cramming in every available space I had with consuming more information (and other people's opinions).
The years before I had somehow gotten addicted to listening to podcasts as it's so easy to do it while cooking, or driving or cleaning. After our trip to Asia in the beginning of last year, when we were so engrossed in enjoying being outside and in a new environment, that need, to always consume, simply slipped away.
Back home again, I noticed my sleep had improved, I felt less overwhelmed and less prone to anxiety. I didn't realise but I hadn't been giving myself enough time to digest all the information I was ingesting!
