I hardly ever just write down my personal reflections. This year on my 36th birthday, I thought I should jot down my thoughts on my morning walk today to reflect on how I feel about another lap around the sun!
-
- I have learned, no matter what – to just keep boxing (thanks Gran!).
- Letting go and leaning in (finding the balance between those) makes life much better.
- More and more, I have realized that the simplest aspects of my life are the best ones – e.g., waking up with my hubby, my morning coffee, weekend rituals, daily walks, etc. I think we are taught that the glitz and glam parts of life are the best ones and what we should strive for to find happiness and joy. I am learning that probably isn’t the truth.
- I love my work and job so much. I know it is a total privilege to have turned my passion of helping people feel well every day into my job. I will never take that for granted. This community has such a big part of my heart.
- What I love most in this life: being at home, weekends with very few plans, waking up with purpose, cooking when I am in the mood, walking in pretty neighborhoods, wine and olives, formulating a vitamin, PJ mornings, planning a vacay, and trying out a good new restaurant.
- I have realized work is the best thing for me. I say this while still encountering hard work days that I do not always love. I have realized how much working keeps us healthy and strong. It builds inner resilience, keeps us stimulated in such good flow, and supports our mental health and quality of life.
- Hard work always, always shows in the end – with whatever you do.
- I am SO appreciative of my friendships. Especially proud and grateful to have the same group of besties since we were 13 years old!
- I cannot believe I get to work with over 50 females every day. I hope they realize how much their work and strength inspires me personally every day. Working with you is a privilege. I mean it.
- A hard “yuck day” is usually followed up with a great next day. Just keep going.
- My greatest wish for the years to come is continued health and peace, to be a mom one day, for JSHealth Vitamins to be the most trusted vitamin brand in the world, and to genuinely help people feel well.
Finally, I wish for my loved ones, community, and customers to know how much I value them.
Love,
Jess x
