Plans for 2024.

Do you have anything planned for the 2024??? If so, whether it's big or small, please feel free to share your plans here. It might inspire me to do something cool next year rather than just sit here in my anxieties.

My mind is usually racing with so much it's hard to sit down and plan certain things to do. I usually go with the flow, let my mind just take me to A-B, and take the rough with the smooth as it happens. One thing I definitely intend to do is get back to my volunteering, hopefully mid January if possible, but only time will tell if that's actually going to happen. I don't want to let this opportunity escape me so I need to be strong, if possible.
As for the rest of the year I really don't know what I'm going to be doing. Normally I enter the new year thinking oh god here we go again but this time I'm hoping I'll start the new year with a more positive mindset - positive thinking leads to good things, I'm told, so here's hoping this will be the case for me.
Another thing I wouldn't mind improving next year is my anxiety as it will normally be affecting me on a daily basis and that's unpleasant at the best of times. A little less anxiety would be nice...
But that's a tall order, so I won't get my hopes up. I want to try some new meditation, though I'm doing this before the new year. 
First, I need to try and get through Xmas. Tomorrow I've got all the immediate and extended family coming over, yikes it's going to be a long couple of days. Uncle Gene will get drunk as usual, my little cousins will be running around crazily - and loudly! - and the music will be louder than normal.
*sobs*
My parents are so good though, they tell people to be mindful of my autism and not to trigger me which I appreciate on so many levels but most people don't really listen.
Roll on the new year please....
Whoops, oh dear that turned in to another ramble. Sorry!! 
Parents
  • I never bother with New Year’s resolutions as I never keep them - a lot of my problems stem from not having the right kind of parenting and not having the kind of ultra strict parenting and sufficiently strict parental discipline that I should have had growing up - my dad should have carried out his threat to put me in the army to make a real man out of me and I’ve come to realise that I did not get slapped often enough and hard enough as a child which only made my autism worse before it was diagnosed many years later - when I was sent away as a child for 9 months to a residential psychiatric facility for attracting and inviting bullying behaviour to myself (being hopeless and heedless) an important opportunity to diagnose my autism was missed which could have been much more easily corrected by corporal punishment that I badly needed growing up 

  • I felt so sorry, for myself, as a boy. Became anti-smacking as a young man. But, now, I see that I'm nothing but grateful for being smacked. I just internalised, whenever I should have externalised.
