A letter from Dec 31, 2024

Dear Me, Congratulations on reaching the end of 2025! As you read this letter, take a deep breath and reflect on everything you’ve achieved, learned, and grown through over the past year. I know that you have put in the hard work, focused on what truly matters, and stayed committed to creating the life you envisioned. Looking back, I’m proud of the progress you’ve made in all aspects of your life. Your days are now filled with energy, purpose, and balance. You’ve developed a routine that works for you, balancing your health, business, and personal life in a way that feels sustainable. You've created a solid foundation for your business—growing your brand, reaching more people, and achieving financial stability. You've made sure to take care of yourself, nurturing your body, mind, and relationships. You’ve stayed true to your values, focused on what’s important, and trusted the process. Your business has flourished. You’ve successfully paid yourself a minimum of £2,000 each month, and you’ve seen your brand recognized in ways you never imagined. Winning an award—whether it’s Food Trailer of the Year or Chef of the Year in Norfolk—is an accomplishment that marks your dedication and expertise. You’ve expanded your services, offering postal and delivery food options that allow you to work on your terms, without being tied to a kitchen every day. Your collaboration with food banks has deepened, creating a lasting impact in your community. Your social media has grown, and reaching 5,000 followers on Instagram is a milestone that shows the value people see in your work. You’ve taken control of your mental health and ADHD. By creating simple, manageable routines, you've removed the overwhelm from day-to-day tasks. You’ve become more consistent with your self-care and have nurtured a mindset of self-compassion and understanding. The way you manage your mental health has become second nature, and it’s allowed you to feel more grounded and focused in all areas of your life. Your relationships with friends and family have strengthened. You've learned how to set boundaries and communicate openly. You've built the support system you need to thrive, and you’ve given yourself permission to prioritize your growth, even if that means stepping back from people-pleasing. Your home is everything you wanted it to be—clean, organized, and a space that nurtures your peace of mind. You’ve created a balance between the demands of life and the need for relaxation. You’ve learned that simplicity is key, and by focusing on your business, health, and personal habits, you’ve been able to create a life that feels achievable and rewarding. Most importantly, you should be proud of how far you've come. You’ve made real progress in your mental health, business, and personal life. You’re in a position now to continue growing and evolving, knowing that the hard work you’ve put in is laying the foundation for even more success in the years to come. As you reflect on this past year, take a moment to feel gratitude for the journey, the growth, and the strength you’ve shown. You’re on your way to even greater things, and the future looks incredibly bright. I am so proud of you, keep going.
