2012
I have made a list of “Attainable Goals” instead of “New Year’s Resolutions” this year.
I’ve had a lot of unreasonable expectations for myself this year and I really beat myself up over it.
Instead, I’m trying to break the year into quarters and focus on goals in segments that will allow me to be a better version of me.
I am learning to set personal boundaries. Knowing when to say no. Knowing when to step away. I’ve already practiced this and while it doesn’t necessarily prevent sadness or stress or that lump in my throat, it definitely lessens it. And eventually, it will prevent me from putting myself in that position at all.
I’m learning to love me and take care of me because I am the only guarantee. I am the only sure thing in my life. I can rely on me more than anyone or anything else. It’s hard to remember this when I am trying so hard to take care of everyone else.
Hello, 2012. I’m ready.
