What’s My 10-Year Plan?
How the next year will lead me on the right path.
10 years from now I will be 35 years old. While 10 years seems so far away, 35 doesn’t sound that much older. Yet, just 10 years ago I was 15 years old. Now THAT seems long ago. When I was 15 years old I pictured myself working in fashion, living in New York City.
While that isn’t totally far off, it is pretty different from the point I’m at right now. I’m working in data for a start-up, about to embark on a move to Arizona. I don’t think 15 year old me would be too surprised to hear this- I always loved math and entrepreneurship. Maybe the Arizona part, but little old me also had never been in love.
A lot of change has happened in the last 3 years, I can’t imagine how much would happen in 10. The whole idea I had of what I wanted my life to be was flipped on its head when Covid hit. I longed for nature and quiet time outdoors, something I had never craved before.
Mental Wellness
In the next year, I still want to try to make sense of all these changes. I’ve recently taken up meditation and I want to continue with this practice daily. I also want to incorporate more breathwork into my weekend routines. While I’ve always loved being alone, I’ve never explored my deeper thoughts and reasons for my anxiety.
