In the meantime, I've been using some of my vacation time to think about plans and resolutions for the New Year. New Year's Eve has always been a special holiday for me--it's a time for me to reflect on the past year, savor the memories, and wonder about what type of learning lessons/wisdom I can bring with me for the New Year.
This year, my New Year's resolution is simple...(in theory)
If there are any lessons I've learned from 2013, it's that I often find myself constantly consumed by work, worry, and regret. This year I ask for the wisdom to find my inner child again--to be fun, playful, appreciative, kind, loving, and HAPPY. I don't want my son to remember his mom as a workaholic. I want him to remember me as a fun, uplifting, adventurous, and HAPPY person...
It may take a while to get rid of these old habits of worry and anxiety, but I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to get myself back to a more playful, joyous, and harmonious state. Today, I will be gentler and more compassionate with myself. I won't let self-doubt rule my heart. Instead, I will be confident about my role as a mom, a wife, a daughter, a friend, and a person. This year...I will find a new spark within myself, and I will be a shining light again. This is not just my resolution for this year, but a long-awaited promise to myself.
What resolution/s do you hope to make this year? Will you be kinder to yourself?
