This is my first post of what I hope to be a daily journal to make my work external and hopefully try to improve my ability of consistent writing.

I am hoping to get from this the benefit of sharing my thoughts and reducing my stress levels from this point.

Today I embark on my adventure of working and living in Sweden. Therefore it is a great opportunity for me to keep a diary of my time and track any growth and improvement in my lifestyle, happiness and health.

What I want to Achieve Today:

• Today I want to get into my new accommodation and unpack

• Today I want to meet up with some new colleagues and have some positive social interactions

• Today I want to kick off the process of getting my Swedish personal number

How I am feeling:

Today I am feeling both anxious and excited for this new start. I have been on a layover in Amsterdam since last night and had some time to reflect on the year ahead. This is a great opportunity for me to embrace a new culture!

As this theme will grow, I will play with the format and try and find new ways to deliver what I want and take account of what I want to achieve.
