Day 51 & 52 of My Mindfulness Journey

A Blessed Beginning & Gentle Momentum

The new year has officially begun, and these first two days feel like a soft celebration of life itself.

There’s something special about the energy of a new year not loud or demanding, but hopeful. Day 51 and 52 unfolded with that quiet joy, reminding me that beginnings don’t always need grand plans; sometimes they simply need a grateful heart.

A New Year, A New Energy

Waking up in the first days of the year felt different. There was a sense of freshness in the air and a calm excitement inside me. I found myself pausing more, noticing small things, and feeling deeply thankful for where I am right now.

I’m starting this year feeling blessed, grounded, and hopeful not because everything is perfect, but because I trust the journey more than before.

Celebration in Simple Ways

These days were filled with gentle celebrations—family moments, shared meals, laughter, and quiet joy. No rush, no pressure just being present and allowing happiness to flow naturally.

I realised that celebration doesn’t always mean doing something extraordinary. Sometimes it means:

enjoying a slow morning sitting together without distractions smiling for no reason feeling content in the present moment

This, too, is mindfulness.

Continuing the Journey

What felt most comforting was knowing that I’m continuing my mindfulness journey just as before one day at a time, without forcing anything.

Some days will be structured, some will be fluid, and some will simply be about showing up with awareness. And that’s enough.

I’m learning to move forward with consistency, not pressure.

Gratitude That Sets the Tone

I’m deeply grateful for:

a peaceful start to the year health, love, and togetherness the lessons carried forward from last year the chance to grow slowly and sincerely

These days reminded me that the best way to begin anything new is with gratitude.

Looking Ahead with Trust

As this year unfolds, I hope for good things not just outcomes, but experiences that help me grow kinder, calmer, and more present.

I choose to walk this year with faith, patience, and mindfulness allowing life to unfold at its own pace.

Grateful for today.

Hopeful for tomorrow.

And fully present in this moment. 🤍

Hi, I'm Anu! Originally from the beautiful hills of Uttarakhand (India), I now call Australia home. Moving countries wasn’t an easy journey – it came with its own set of challenges, goodbyes, and growing pains. But it also opened doors to new opportunities, friendships, and personal transformation. This blog is my little space to reflect, express, and share stories from everyday life — whether it's about adjusting to a new culture, lessons from motherhood, reflections on family back home, or just navigating this ever-changing world as a migrant woman. I believe growth happens when we step out of our comfort zones. And even though I miss my roots deeply, I’ve found joy in creating a new version of "home" here in Australia. When I’m not writing, I love relaxing with a coffee, diving into a good book, or enjoying moments with family and friends. ! Thanks for stopping by – I hope you find something here that resonates with you. Feel free to say hello or share your own story — I'd love to connect! 💛
