Well, 6 months in, I can say that I did manage to stick with 2 things I declared I would change for the upcoming year. I vowed to watch the entire season of Scandal, AND to nix about 7-10 minutes off my everyday get ready routine. Feeling empowered by this recent discovery, I began to think about the other promises I made to myself. Being as though I only have 6 more months to get it in, it was time to evaluate my list from a realistic standpoint, as opposed to wishful thinking.
Do you ever wonder why it's so hard to keep a resolution? Why is it so hard not to let down the one person who you will always have...You?! The things we tell ourselves are often expendable and I just don't understand why. I'm good for disappointing myself. The only promise I will be making moving forward is to remember to put myself first at times. I will no longer take the mentality that my feelings are the least important in a situation, and the priority is everyone else. After all, no one can love me like me. The people who surround you can only lead by example. Take the initiative to treat you the way you deserve. Lets not loose our minds and think this means you can start treating people any ole kind of way any neglecting your responsibilities...um, negative. SOME of us can benefit from a little less emphasis on ourselves and become more open to others. This is definitely NOT for you!!! All I'm saying is take a few minutes everyday and do something for you. Whatever happens in your day, make sure you keep this appointment as if your life depended on it. It's amazing how much difference this one minuscule thing will make in your overall attitude and opinion of your day. Before you know it, you will no longer need to reserve resolutions for once a year, better you will become a daily thing and you just might not have anything left to promise;-)
