Finding My Edge

Over recent years, I’ve grown too comfortable with my routine, including my job, education, and fitness regimen. I’ve established a daily rhythm that doesn’t challenge me, and I’m eager to alter that. This year, I aim to stretch my limits more frequently—whether that means intensifying my workouts or enrolling in additional courses to hasten my academic progress. I believe it’s time to introduce a healthy dose of stress into my life!

Mobility Over Minimalism

I’m shifting my focus from merely "minimalism" to what I prefer to call "mobility." Is this just a trendy rebranding? Perhaps, but allow me to elaborate. For a long time, my understanding of minimalism was heavily influenced by aesthetics. I admired those sleek, minimal desk setups, which fueled my desire to create a similar environment. However, I’ve discovered that the true value of minimalism lies in its ability to promote mobility. It’s been a while since I last traveled internationally (thanks to COVID), but I recall how liberating it was to pack my entire wardrobe without a second thought! As I continue to declutter my life, I find comfort in knowing I can quickly gather all my belongings and relocate whenever necessary. While I won’t delve too deeply into technology here, I can say that it significantly aids my efforts to consolidate my tech devices—primarily into my smartphone! Thus, my focus this year is on enhancing mobility.

Deepening Understanding

Over the years, I’ve consumed countless books and watched a myriad of anime episodes, often fixating on my "completion rate" rather than truly engaging with the content. This year, I intend to shift my perspective entirely. My goal is to thoroughly comprehend everything I read, allowing myself the freedom to revisit material I didn’t fully grasp the first time. After all, what's the point of experiencing diverse media if I don’t invest the time to truly understand them?

Final Reflections

I’m not striving to completely overhaul my life; rather, I seek to enhance both myself and my surroundings. My aim is to cultivate a newfound clarity and focus in my life, and I believe these three strategies will guide me toward that goal. What about you? Are you planning to spice things up in your life this year? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
