Good afternoon everyone,
Yes I know, I’m back so soon and it is soooo unlike me. Well, this is the beginning of a brand new commitment to myself and the writing side of my life. But it also helps that I got sick and had to take a couple of extra days off work. So here I am… I actually meant to do this yesterday but I ended up resting a lot more and spending a lot more time with my partner and taking care of myself and didn’t end up having time.
But good news! I feel much better today and have decided to use today as my recovery day and I’ll be back to work on Monday. So I’m taking care of a few things that I’ve wanted to do for a while and some extra things, like spending time with you all again.
I can’t deny that taking some of this time for myself has one a world of good and I have come up with a plan for the New Year. Now, I’m not usually one for resolutions as I never end up sticking with them, and with my life so up in the air I don’t want to make myself go without anything, ie. chocolate/sweets or video games. As I think it is very important that I do still do things that make me feel better (and those things do just that, especially after a terrible day).
Instead, I’ve decided to take on the challenge of doing just a little better. I am incorporating one new positive habit into my every day. Now the reason for this is 2021 and 2020 were both disasters and I am changing tactics. I was miserable for most of those two years and I don’ want to be miserable. I don’t want to waste any of my life feeling like less because of things I cannot change.
This is my accountability check for continuing to do my best. I am going to come up with one positive affirmation for every single day and I will stick to it. I will not let the day get me down and when it tries, I will use my affirmation to strengthen me and give me a reason to be happy no matter what happens. And to try and be a better me.
So, that’s how my day is going. I want to do better and feel better. I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. I will no longer apologize for being me, for being who I am. I will be strong and I will get through anything life brings my way. I will no longer cower away from life afraid of what’s going to come next. I am strong and I will show this world what I’ve got, the fight that is inside me.
Thank you so much for tuning in. I know it’s a bit sappy, but I’m feeling cozy and soft-hearted at the moment. Anyway, tell me what your New Year’s resolutions are and if you too are dedicated to being a better you and doing better for yourself and being gentle on yourself. Or maybe you don’t do resolutions because they don’t work for you. Please join us in the comments below and tell us all about it, about anything related to this post or about how it made you feel. Are you inspired? Do you want to be a better you? Or maybe you want to try something new?
Thank you so much guys, it was a pleasure to be able to be with you all here today and to begin my New Year’s resolution. I have a feeling this will be the year when I do my best at this and when I succeed at it, at being happier and being a better version of myself. See you all really soon. Lots of love.
