After I wrote my end of the year 2022 newsletter, I took a step back and realized how much information I was consuming and inputting into my system on a regular basis. In that newsletter, I shared a few books I was reading and 10 podcasts that I listen to.

The biggest shifts came in the overall feel as opposed to the individual things I was or wasn’t engaging in. After a week, I felt an incredible spaciousness. I had all this energy for small tasks, specifically life admin tasks. Granted it was the beginning of the year, so there were more of these types of tasks in general, but it was a noticeable difference. I slept better. I had more energy.

I’ve always been interested in language. As a child, I consistently heard multiple languages at home, two of which I didn’t speak and never picked up. Later on I did pick up a second language, but not one of the ones I grew up around.
