It's been quite some time since I have been on this thing. Need to get a hang of it again.
*deep breath*

January 1st. New year, new beginnings, right? Well, normally I don't make any resolutions. They often turn into broken promises that diminish my self-esteem by the end of February. It has been a difficult three years. I have had major changes in my career, health and financial stability. Some of the negative items were out of my control, however, I did contribute to a portion of my anguish. So here I am. Baring my soul after three, no make that, four years of suffering. My plan- to be a better version of me.
Step 1- Be kind. I truly believe in karma. The energy you put out in the universe will eventually return to you. I know that I have not been the best human I could possibly be. I plan to make amends with family, friends and people in general. Most of all, I need to learn to be kind to myself. I am my own worst nemesis. It's time to stop punishing myself for all the wrongs in my life and begin to make different choices.
Step 2- Make healthier life choices. This applies to a number of aspects in my life from food to exercise to personal life decisions. I plan to take a breath, think and then choose the best option for myself/ family.
Step 3- Begin the climb out of financial debt. I'm not in real trouble yet but I can feel the constraints when it comes to my finances. It's time to pay down the credit cards, pay off the student loans and increase my financial freedom. I want to breathe again.
I think that's all I can handle for 2018. Here's to hoping that I don't fizzle out by the end of February. :)
