2021 for most will be remembered as the second-year of Covid-19. Filled with hope, lockdowns, variants and vaccinations.

This year I am grateful to have accomplished two significant milestones:

• My first year completely sober since I was 13 years old
• Overcame my fear of driving, earning my licence and buying my own car
  

In addition to these I incorporated a number of positive changes to my mental and physical health:

• Undertook PRK to correct my vision
• Established healthier relationship with sleep
• Recommenced gym routine
• Learned to recognise threats to my mental health and how to protect myself from them
  

2021 was certainly a better year than 2020 on all measures. It is a foundational year, one in which I have set up the baseline health, mindset and routines necessary to make 2022 as fruitful as possible.
