My Fitness and Blogging Journey in 2023

“Unexpected conversations with gorgeous souls.”

When your heart is happy, even during troubled times, that’s when you are truly healthy. And the only place to start your fitness journey is where you are standing right now, physically and mentally.

That’s how I felt when I started this blog. I was doing myself a favor by expressing my desire to be physically and mentally fit. Along the way, I made some wonderful blogging friends, to whom I am so grateful for liking and commenting on my not-so-perfect articles.

Life is full of surprises, and I was able to share some of my challenges with other bloggers.

This is a thank you post to all of my dear subscribers who I had the privilege to connect with. I had to say this because I had been busy with my new work setup and absolutely neglected WordPress.

I wanted to read all of your blogs, but after work, my eyes started hurting, and it’s time to get eyewear in the next year. I have to learn to schedule and multitask in the next year.

Most of all, I want to write and read as much as I can and of course keep on exercising. I want to thank you all for reading my posts. But before I bid adieu to this year, here are some of my 2023 posts that did really well that some new subscribers would like to read.

As I was going through this list, I could remember all the conversations I had with all my lovely blogger friends and how they encouraged me to keep writing with their inspiring comments.

It only takes a nod, eye contact, and a smile to brighten someone’s day, and I felt all this positivity reflected in the comments. Thanks to viewers who trickled down from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and search engines, especially in the month of December, when I was unable to post any new articles.

A warm welcome to all the new subscribers of my blog. I promise you the blogging journey has more dynamic colours than in a rainbow. Consistency and patience will be your armours with each article you post.

It does not matter what your posting frequency is, if your blog is genuine and reflects your personality, you will be able to connect with equally inspiring bloggers. Take time to search for like-minded bloggers in your niche as well as others.

The health trends that dominated this year were: artificial intelligence in healthcare, fitness wearables, personal wellness, and prioritizing mental health. I think mental health should be an ongoing trend for every year and for people of all ages.

Updates about my life can be summarized in these words: less travel outside of the city, new job, reunions with old friends, more walking and pilates, timely gap between meals, multitasking, distracting new crush, and family responsibilities.

As my job gets more demanding, I am setting bigger goals for 2024, including strength training twice a week and posting workout videos on my new Instagram account. So stay tuned and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
