Jump in the Lake Day 2024 - Hot cocoa edition

It’s Jump in the Lake Day 2024 - that day we kick off the year by saying F@#$ the resistance!! This year Amelia dipped her proverbial toe in the water, and I brought us a hot chocolate toast! Sharing is caring, so when I saw someone who didn’t have a family to plunge with drying off alone, I brought them a shot of hot cocoa to enjoy. To quote them - a very good omen indeed!

See last year here and last last year here, and the first one here.

Reflecting and a thought for the year: Last year was a great year where I built many new skills like AI, kettlebells, 30-minute meditation, and leaving work stress at work. I also deepened my relationship with the family, which is very satisfying.

I intellectually realized and understood the importance of ritual and schedule, this year I’m going to try to embrace them, and reach my goals through sustainable effort instead of extreme intensity - wish me luck!

Have a great year and remember:

• Jump in the Lake Day, a time to be bold,

• Into the chilly waters, brave and cold.

• The lessons of time, now clearly in sight,

• Embrace routine, with all of our might.

• For in each scheduled step, and in every small win,
• Lies the path to success, waiting to begin.
