Maybe it was the end of a long year or maybe it was just too many people me in too many directions but i definitely felt burnt out before the Christmas.
I did get a strong flu in the middle of December which is really unlike me as it's been years since i was even a little bit sick so my body was obviously running on empty.
You know when you can feel it too. that lack of energy. The lack of enthusiasm for anything. Just trying to get from one week to the next with little feeling to no excitement or accomplishing anything.
I only have to look at my hive account to see the story. One of my favorite activities is writing on hive and following crypto yet on the cusp of what could be the biggest bull run in our history i have barely a dozen posts in the past three months and pretty much zero comments.
Little to no activity in the wider crypto world and bitcoin blowing out 100K.
Even getting through the Xmas was a struggle after my sickness. My uncle passed away the weekend beforehand so we had a funeral to deal with and then it took a few weeks to clear my sickness. Just no energy and no ability to do anything. A strange state of affairs.
I was lucky though. I'm not back into work until Monday and it's only yesterday that I've felt like myself again. Getting my health and energy back was great but i think that the break came at the right time to get a bit of a reset on my mind.
Healthy body, healthy mind and all that craic.
Today is the first day in a long time that i've felt like i have both of those things again. Even just having the time to sit down today and watch a movie. To sit down today and be able to write again. My mind is suddenly a lot clearer than it has been for weeks. I got on top of the house today, cleared out the xmas decorations, tidied up the rooms and cut timber for the fire outside.
It felt good.
I'm not a person for new years resolutions but i do need to make more time for myself. With a busy life and busy family i think that there needs to be a bit more balance towards myself and be better able for everything else afterwards rather than just half arsing it.
The end goal for me in crypto has always been financial freedom and this could be a year to take a big step towards that if we play it right. That means it's important to be busy on here and take the opportunities that come along in the next twelve months.
Hopefully time the markets well and take a nice profit somewhere into savings.
