2024 In's and Out's: Embracing Growth and Letting Go

As we step into 2024, it’s time to reflect on the habits, practices, and mindsets that serve our well-being and those that hinder our progress. Inspired by one of my most engaged Instagram posts, I’ve compiled a list of what’s ‘In’ and what’s ‘Out’ for this year, aiming to foster a life filled with joy, purpose, and connection.

What’s In for 2024:

  • Reformer Pilates Embracing the balance of strength and flexibility, reformer Pilates is not just a workout; it’s about moving with intention and harmony.

  • JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) Finding contentment in staying in, JOMO celebrates the choices that align with our well-being over social expectations.

  • Dinner Parties Reviving the art of hosting, dinner parties bring us closer, turning meals into memories with those we cherish.

  • Being Consistent Consistency is the key to success in any endeavor, from personal goals to professional achievements.

  • Slow Travel Taking the time to immerse ourselves in new cultures and experiences, slow travel enriches our souls far beyond any tourist checklist.

  • 8+ Hours Sleep a Night Prioritising rest is not a luxury; it’s essential for our mental, emotional, and physical health.

  • Coffee at Home Savouring coffee at home isn’t just about the brew; it’s about enjoying the ritual and the moment of calm (and saving some $$$)

  • Taking Risks Embracing the unknown and taking calculated risks propels us forward and teaches us more about our resilience and capabilities. It’s time to shine baby!!!

  • Being Self Aware Understanding our emotions, triggers, and behaviors is the first step towards meaningful self-improvement.

  • Fresh, Soul-Nourishing Home Cooked Meals There’s unparalleled joy in cooking meals that not only nourish the body but also comfort the soul.

  • Daily Planner Sessions Taking time each day to plan and reflect keeps us focused on our goals and mindful of our progress.

  • Getting Vulnerable and Having Deeper ConnectionsTrue connection comes from vulnerability, from sharing our truths and listening with an open heart.

What’s Out for 2024:

  • Bad Dates No more settling. It’s time to value our time and seek connections that inspire and uplift us.

  • UberEats While convenient, it’s time to swap out easy options for the joy of cooking and the health benefits of homemade meals.

  • Procrastinating Business Ideas No more waiting for the ‘right’ moment. The time to act on our dreams is now.

  • Overthinking Paralysis by analysis gets us nowhere. Trust in action and learn through experience.

  • Ghosting Honesty and clarity in communication build respect and understanding, even in difficult situations. Ciao Casper!

  • People Pleasing It’s time to set boundaries and make choices that prioritise our well-being.

  • Overspending Embracing financial health and mindful spending opens doors to freedom and reduces stress.

  • Scrolling Before Bed Replacing screen time with calming rituals improves sleep quality and mental peace.

  • Negative Self Talk Cultivating a positive and compassionate inner dialogue is crucial for self-esteem and resilience.

  • Undone Nails Embracing the small luxuries that make us feel polished and prepared, having my nails done always makes me feel like I got my sh*t together.

In 2024, let’s commit to habits and mindsets that elevate our lives. It’s about more than just swapping out the old for the new; it’s about moving closer to who we truly are and the lives we wish to lead. I’d love to hear what your In's and Out's are for this year, so feel free to share in the comments below or connect with me on social media. Here’s to a year of intentional living and profound growth!
