New Years Day brings yet another opportunity to click the mental refresh button. The moment where the screen is blank and a faint reflection gazes back at you. A moment to reassess your goals, process your feelings, and plan for the year ahead.

This year, these are the questions I’m going to try to keep in mind:

• What word would people describe you as the first time they met you?
• What word would your friends describe you as?
• What word would you describe yourself?

How does your ideal answer match up with your current answer?

The photo above pictures the first sunset of 2023. Taken at Enoshima, a personal favourite viewpoints here in Japan. 

To maintain motivation & discipline this year, I created a visual bucket list of my 2023 goals, to hang above my bed. Pictured below is the final artwork. I rarely achieve any of my new year resolutions, but it’s a memorable freeze frame of what I wanted, at that moment in time.
Who knows, maybe it’ll be different in a weeks time.

To whoever is reading this, Happy New Year. I wish you joy, laughter and growth throughout 2023.
