Happy New Year to you all..
I hope everyone had a great festive period, even if it wasn’t what was planned. It was a time for me to just shut off and relax! Rather bliss.
But Its that time, when we set resolutions and media tells us we need to lose weight and get healthy, be better, thinner etc etc….
What a load of rubbish.. we have enough going on without listening to this from all angles.
I don’t know where resolutions come from, but I think they can consume us. “My resolution is to lose 5 stone” or” stop eating bread”,
or be this, or that.
I stopped setting resolutions a couple of years ago, such as lose weight, get up early and go to the gym, stop doing one thing or another
I don’t know when I stopped trying to change myself and who I am, but I can truthfully say when I stopped trying to change who I was, I have become a happier person, also more accepting in myself and others. Accepting who I am has been a real freedom.
I don’t think we need New Year to set goals, or change, who we are, Personally I like to set myself goals everyday, just small goals, lists of what I want to achieve that day. It gives me a sense of achievement when, tick those things off. Everyday is a new start and you can choose what you want to do with it.
One thing I do believe is Mindset. This has been a key for me to stop beating myself up about certain things and starting to feel happier in who I am and what I look like. Looking at what I can learn from something, rather than why ? Looking at positive things, rather than the negative. believing in myself and who I am. Grateful for what I have, not what I don’t.
If you do anything this year, believe in yourself and accept the wonder that you are !!
Here is to 2022
Have a ball
