1.8.24 // 2024 the Ins and Outs

In // Out.
.
I've seen a few others do this and am a big fan. This doesn't speak for the collective or even for trends. But these are my takes on what is in and out for 2024...
.
In:
- Curiosity (this is a forever trend for me)
- Protecting myself as fiercely as I would my friends or family
- Listening to my body for guidance
- Burnt Toast Theory
- Getting up early and having slow mornings
- Speaking up for my needs and trusting that others can meet them
- Trusting the "flow" and knowing I can handle anything that comes this way
- Being proud of myself
- Appreciating the hell out of my body in all the ways

Out:
- Judgment
- Giving people grace at the cost of myself
- People-pleasing in general
- Listening to other people's voices play louder than our own
- Concerning myself with people who can make their own choices and decisions
- Super late nights
- Trying new skincare or hair care (I know what works for me, i.e. "stop getting tempted to try new stuff)
- Trying to control things I can't control
