Self-reflection

Happy to announce, I am alive and better than before, the self imposed quarantine of mine is for a while at least behind, not that much cause the UK will have another lock-down from 5th November until 2nd December, guess this year is not a normal one, regardless it shouldn’t bother us as much as we let it.

It’s time for self-reflection, to observe ourselves, what are we doing wrong and how could we improve it for the future at least. Self-reflection, something I thought a lot about, I think recently I haven’t led my life in the way I wanted too, I ate too much junk food that obviously affected my health, even though I think I did a fairly good job in that respect and trained hard before my illness.

This year made it difficult for me in my personal life, investments and also in regards of minimalism. I am cherishing the good moments cause I had a lot of them too and this hard time it is important to focus on the positive things. One of the positives were definitely that I managed to declutter many paper work I had from the past and thought they will be useful in the future but let’s be realistic there’s not much chance to use them again and even if they will be needed somehow I will manage to find the info elsewhere, and plenty banking papers about bank switches, GP records, travel tickets that emotions connected me. The main reason I kept some of these documents were because I had to have them for the citizenship application, gladly I can say they won’t be needed anymore, I became a British citizen saying that out loud and proud.

So yes, the main mission has been accomplished already for the year being, which is receiving my citizenship, still have to manage to receive a passport, strangely it’s the difficult part, I have to upload a picture for the passport, well it’s not easy, somehow can’t manage to take a snap fit to be uploaded and accepted by the home office, big obstacle but I know myself, first of all, travelling is not an option and still having my Hungarian passport so I am not in a rush by any means, I will sort this out, once I get bored enough to do so.

My job situation hasn’t changed so far but got a better apartment, handled stress better, sorted my citizenship, I didn’t read as much as I wanted to by this point, but it does not sadden me, books and reading in overall. Looking back at the year so far, there’s not much I could have done better or differently due to the circumstances mainly, as the saying goes, no regrets.

The final part of the year running at us real quick, this winter won’t be the same but maybe it will benefit us all, we have to slow down a bit, if for nothing else probably for that it was good.

PS; the article has been done since 31st October but the procrastination won big time, this year is like that…

Your sincerely
