Here is my first Gratitude List of 2025! I meant to post it yesterday but forgot. Never mind, lol.

It's the end of the year, so it's time for my annual letting go post! I've written them for the past 7 years and you can see my previous posts at the links below:

The beginning of 2024 wasn't so great for me because I was going through an anxious time and struggling with health anxiety. I started to feel a bit better but the second half of the year went downhill for me due to other issues (and anxiety on and off). I also write a mid-year reflections post and you can see 2024's here: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2024/06/mid-2024-reflections.html
If you follow numerology, the Universal Year Number for 2024 was 8, so 2025's is 9. 2024 was supposed to be an "accelerator" year which helped people push forward on their goals. (I wrote a bit about it in last year's Letting Go post.) I didn't really feel that it was that way for me though.

This is the next instalment in Feeling Your Emotions series. I started it back in 2017. The intention was to look at different emotions (such as anger, sadness and depression, fear and anxiety, peace and love) and get in touch with them, to help heal and move forward. You can read the introduction here: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2017/11/feeling-your-emotions-introduction.html
Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, so if you're having mental/physical issues please seek medical help in addition to reading this. :)
I wrote a recap of all the posts so far in 2022: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2022/09/feeling-your-emotions-recap.html
It's now been over 2 years since I wrote that. (And 8 years ago this month since I started the whole series!) After the recap post I planned to write more in the next few months, but didn't in the end. I've been feeling very up and down and struggling at times, and haven't felt very inspired to blog much here in general. (I've been more active on my entertainment blog Star Sparkle Blog and my seasonal living blog The Seasonal Life because I don't write about as "deep" subjects on there.) However, in recent months I've felt like picking the FYE series up again.
As I mentioned in the recap, I started with the so-called "negative" emotions, intending to work my way up to more "positive" ones. I had planned to cover love or peace next but didn't feel in a space to write about them. When I'd written the last post, I intended that the next one in the series would be peace. So here it is, although later than planned! :)
