Happy New Year!!!!
Already three days in and I realize that time just goes faster and faster with each passing year!!! I'm not one to make resolutions - oh sure don't get me wrong every year since I was probably 12 I vowed I would not eat sweets ever again, I would work out more and I would be "good"! Humpf....see where that got me!!!
This year I said NO to resolutions because honestly for me they just don't work!! I think there are lot of people out there that would probably agree as well! The general notion of a resolution just sets us up for failure because we make these stringent rules against ourselves that are unrealistically unattainable. Then when we have a minor set back we jump off the wagon completely, call ourselves a failure and say forget it I can't do it!
This year, I've just promised myself to live my life in as many ways as possible, healthier and enriched because I'm not carrying the baggage and guilt around anymore. I'm going to be kinder to myself and really live in the moment! I have been saying this again and again, but life is so precious and so short that we have to live in the moment!!
Now that doesn't mean I give myself permission to eat whatever I want, or go out and enjoy a dozen donuts! Heck no!! What it means is that I'm not going to beat myself up! What I need to do is love myself a little more and the rest will just fall into place!!
Go ahead I dare you to not make a resolution this year!!!
Here's to a great 2011!!!
