Every year it's the same - the list of new year's resolutions that get made with the best intentions. Unfortunately, in my case, come March (who am I kidding?) come February, most fall by the curbside with the recycling. This year, though, I'm going to make it easy on myself (ha!). I'm making just one resolution that I will have to uphold.
"In 2009, I resolve to be a kinder person!"
Seems easy enough, right? Being kind comes pretty naturally to most. I'd like to think of myself as a caring, giving person already. I bet if you even asked most of the people I know, they would probably describe me as a kind person in the first place. So what's with the resolution? Well, here in lies the rub - I think while I've focused on being kind to the people in my life, I've somehow forgotten to be kind to myself. In fact, I may go as far to say that I am down right just plain mean to "me"! So here it is...I'm letting go of the negative dialogue that plays through my head - no more remarks about the size of my arms, or convincing myself that I'm going to fail before I've even begun. I will feed my tummy because it's hungry, not because I'm using the excuse to eat to fill some other void in my life. I will move more and sit less because the more active I am the better I will feel! I will live my life without fear of failure. And most importantly, I will make more time to do the things that make me happy!
So this is the start...2009 will be filled with positive intent! I say, bring it...
