Its the first day of a new year. I can honestly say that I am excited and a little scared to see what the this year will hold. Its funny how people get so caught up in the "New Year", thinking that January 1st is the only day that one can change their lives or start to implement new habits. When in reality its just another day.
I think real change comes when your tired of your old life and behaviors and ready for something different. That could happen on January 1st or on May 3rd. To me everyday is a fresh start a new beginning a chance to be the person you want to be. I think way too much stock is put into January 1st. With that said, I've been giving a lot of thought lately on not just what I want for the year but what I want for this next chapter in my life. My first instinct was to set out a list of resolutions, that just didn't feel right. Instead I thought of traits I would like to build in myself a way of life I would like to lead and the kind of energy I want to bring to the world around me.
So I am going to work on being more authentic to really stay true to what makes me happy and worry less about what other people think about me. Along with that building a thicker skin to criticism, I hope to one day be fine with that fact that I am going to do and say things people aren't going to agree with and be ok with that.
I also want to take more risk, and not be afraid of failure. I want to push myself out of my comfort zone and let go of all those negative labels I given myself over the years. These aren't things I hope to accomplish over night or even in the next 12 months. These are goals I want to work on daily and keep with me as strive for the life I want to have.
Here's to the next chapter and beyond!
Cheers!!! Happy New Year!!!!
