New Year, New You?
Every year, you probably make a long list of resolutions that you want to tackle this year. This list probably includes everything from not swearing to losing weight. And while many of these lists are filled with good intentions, too often you find that come February, that list is long gone, along with your motivation. Maybe this year is the year where you stop making those resolutions and start making one that sticks.
The idea of a resolution implies that you need to change something in order to become a better person – but is this really the case? Maybe you need to shift your perception of yourself and start celebrating what’s right about you instead of what’s wrong about you. Now, that would be a resolution that is not only fun to follow, but also life changing.
Start off your new year by creating a list of all the things you really love about yourself. This could be anything from your hair color to the way you sort your mail. Include everything that you like about yourself – as well as things you want to like about yourself. This list should be posted somewhere where you can look at it often and remind yourself just how great you already are.
In fact, you might want to make a resolution to not change a thing about yourself – just to show yourself how much you care about who you are right now. You will begin to learn to love yourself even more because you can fully appreciate everything about your mind and your body as you’re not trying to change a thing or focusing on anything negative.
This is the year for a new you – or rather, accepting the ‘you’ that you’ve been trying to change. Maybe he or she isn’t so bad after all.
Have a most outstanding day
