Mid-2024 Reflections

We're halfway through the year again, so it's time for my annual mid-year reflections post! I've been writing these since 2018 (6 years now), although my first one was in May, so not quite during the middle of the year. You can see my previous posts at the links below:

I also write an end of year post. You can see 2023's here: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2023/12/letting-go-of-2023.html

The first half of 2024 has been ok but not really great. I did feel better than last year though. I had an anxious start to the year and struggled with health anxiety. I've also felt really down at times.

I mainly just went to Happy Café meetups (organised by Action for Happiness) and for park walks. I've got out of the routine of going to the park again lately though, due to various circumstances. I did go the other day though, as part of my celebrations for Litha/the Summer Solstice. I haven't been belly dancing lately but I met up with my dance friends at a pub a couple of times, which was nice.
