I started working out for the first time in the last year. I’m in my forties and I’ve never had an excercise routine like this. Every day I do yoga, I walk with my dog at least 2 miles and I lift free weights. I’m in better shape now than I was at 30. It started with walking my dog every day and I built on that and I can’t believe how much better I feel, body and mind. I LOVE getting older. There is a quietness is my soul that just never existed before.
Recently it was pushing for my ADHD diagnosis and medication. The medication has changed my life and in my last annual review I have gone from being (borderline) “Capable” to “Exceptional and Critical to Department Success”.
I’ve done a lot of good things for myself.
1996 – went back to school after getting a 0.0 my first semester (graduated in 2000).
2006 – asked out my future wife.
2006 – quit smoking.
2006 – foot-in-the-door job into software (was a pivotal career transition).
2020 – got a new WFH job that pays great and has great work/life balance.
2024 – started a GLP-1 and started heading towards a healthier weight.
tough to pick one. I’m a very fortunate individual.
Just stopped begging for someone to be who I wanted them to be and accepting people for who they truly are in your life. Sometimes we go through things with people because our expectations of them were different than who they really are.
Bought a house right before interest rates and housing prices took an upward leap, even though a lot of people in my life were telling me to “wait for the crash”. If I didn’t, I’d definitely still be living with my parents.
Started focusing on looking after my physical and mental health. Grew up to believe put others before you. Got told by professional it’s not selfish putting your own needs above others.
