January; an inspiring yet depressing month?

Good morning!

The start of the year have some inspiring vibes~ everyone making resolutions, seeing other’s which can give you ideas.. while at the same time I’m already getting discouraged 😅

To be frank, I know the weather doesn’t help either; the weather here has been wild! Freezing & unfreezing has my allergies kicking my butt- even taking my prescription allergy meds I’m not only drowning in mucus, but i’m also needing to take benadryl before bed too as my eyes be incredibly itchy 😅 All that wreck havoc on my energy levels, i’ve decided to start taking my Vitamin D back to help me a bit..

We’re still in Seasonal depression season after all.. although mine decided to show it’s face always when it’s time to party and celebrate. Almost without fail, I’m left feeling hollowed and sad.

My goal this year is a bit more than I did last- not only am I wanting more nonfiction again, but i’ve added my French goal aswell as audiobooks.. and i’m already discouraged that I only finished one book/don’t read fast enough and we weren’t even half way of the month 🥲

I’m really struggling to find audiobooks as i’m so picky for the voices.. too strong accent or a even slightly annoying voice to my ears and it’s out- while I find maybe nonfictions audiobooks would be the best course, the ones that i’d want are unavailable thus far on my libby.

I’ve also started reading two books; a nonfiction with multiple stories that I can read at work, aswell as a fiction novel “out of character” that I can read before bed. I’m really hoping this can help me, as i’ve seen some nice imput on goals and such on other’s blog! In the same vein, if I do nonfiction audiobook, I could juggle two at the same time, ithink.

As for blogging, I was doing so good!! I scheduled a whole 3posts in advance at the start of the year to drop back down 😆 again having the ideas running away from me- while we’ve been seeing alot of “best of” 2023, I don’t really recall anything of the like that I remember or could do myself.

How has your year started- do you also feel this?
