New Year, New Ways to Change

So, I think resolving to do something, anything different for the new year is a great thing. I want to do the usual stuff, like all the things I’ve failed at in previous years (food choices, movement, wellness, discipline) but I also want one thing, or one more thing in particular.

I want to approach life, my life, differently. I want to destroy my comfort zone and move forward with my life. I’m talking about breaking mental habits that keep me in bondage to a twisted way of thinking that things will only, can only turn out one way. I’m tired of not giving myself a chance to breathe. I’m holding me back. There are connections and relationships waiting for me. There are people in this world I need and they need me back. For some reason, over however many years, I’ve cut myself off from the rest of the world. Call it social anxiety (because it is) or call it lazy, I can no longer make excuses for idling in place-the same place for too, too long.

I’ve realized you have to think for yourself and think about yourself and what you want and what ignites your soul. Don’t wait, or postpone that solo trip to the movies. I don’t want the world around me to keep moving and shifting and I’m holding the same form from a decade ago. I deserve better. I have to love myself enough to take my place in this world. I’m a shareholder of Earth, and I have every right to be all I can be (preaching to myself).

If only to get busy doing what I love, to have momentum, I believe I will become a magnet and attract all the things that are out of alignment in my life. I’m about to let the light of realization all up in my life. I’m about to be at peace with being human. I’m about to let some shit go. I’m about to make a revolutionary resolution. I’m going to fall in love with my childhood dreams again.

Blessings and Holiday Love to all of you!
