Not gonna lie. 2022 was a mixed year of highs and lows. The highs were sky-high and the lows were very deeply low. So, instead of setting myself up for, quite honestly, any more pressure that I really don't need right now, I've decided there will be no resolutions for me for 2023.
However, in the lovely spirit of change that every fresh and new year brings, I have decided to graciously recognize it in a somewhat unconventional way. Instead of a Happy New Year, I am happily embracing what I learned in 2022 and carrying it forward with me (without resolution) into 2023:
1) Of course, appreciate the ones that have been there for you, but, DEEPLY appreciate those who still check in with you.
2) That kindness that you show to others...ALWAYS make sure you show it to yourself.
3) It is possible and completely okay to have fond memories of someone you DON'T miss.
4) You have done enough for the ungrateful. Dedicate that precious time you waste on them to focus on YOURSELF.
So, in the new year spirit, I UNRESOLVE to continue to be deeply appreciative of those who have still remained with me, always show kindness to myself and keep realizing it's not only possible but okay to have fond memories without feeling bad for not missing someone, and most importantly, dedicate time to focus on myself in 2023.
What do you graciously recognize for or unresolve to be in 2023?
