Each year, we all take a moment to think about what we’ll do better. What changes we’ll make to be a newer, stronger version of ourselves. By February, most of us have already dropped half our resolutions and are just hoping not to fully slip back into last year’s habits. But this year, I’m choosing differently. This year, I’m picking up the pieces!, Those that actually create the person I want to be.
Take calculated risks. I’m naturally spontaneous, but I’m also a creature of habit. I stick with what’s comfortable.. jobs I know, bars and clubs I frequent, friends I’ve always had. In 2006, I’m opening myself to new possibilities. New career paths, new people, maybe even new romantic experiences. I’ll enjoy the unexpected, explore the unknown, and stop making excuses about not being a writer. That novel? It’s coming...if nothing else, it’ll be my therapy on paper.
Accept my appearance. I’ve always been my own harshest critic. I work out, watch my diet, and obsess over every wrinkle. This year, I take a cue from those around me who radiate confidence. Self-love makes people magnetic. So, I’ll keep working hard, stay healthy, cut the bad habits (you know the ones), and appreciate myself as I am today/...before any enhancements, before any surgical tweaks, before any dental miracles. 2006 is my year to love the skin I’m in.
Give back. Life has a way of making us forget how blessed we are car payments, extra pounds, quirky family members… we complain, but really, we’re fortunate. Health, shelter, mobility, loved ones,we’ve got more than enough. This year, I’ll choose a cause, give my time, money, and energy. And honestly? The person who will benefit the most is me.
On Blast: What building block will you put in place this year to make 2006 the year you became a better, stronger, more complete you?
Keep passin’ those open windows…
