Life Resolution
I never make New Years Resolutions. Never. I'm not a person to ever stick to them and I never understood the reason to make it only at the beginning of the year with millions of others.
However, after this year has yet again not started on the BEST note, as in, tragedy/sick/disease free I was doing some thinking. Not woe is me thinking...I'm not really like that. Don't get me wrong....totally have my moments of OMG...MORE....not sure if I can handle this but in general it passes quickly.
I have noticed not only from looking into my past actions but also things pointed out by friends IRL and on here that I put myself into other things, people, jobs waaaay to much and by the end I'm completely spent and ignored my own needs.
This is horrible. I mean it's good in a way because I care for others so much but it's horrible because I am damaging myself and my marriage, my family by not putting me #1. If I can't start doing that goodness knows what will happen if we start a family.
So my life resolution is to put me #1. Remember to take time for me, stay true to what I want to do in life, even when I'm not exactly sure what that is and not always what is expected or the feeling of obligation. I am only obligated to myself and making my life and family happy. I by far do not have the answers and have been searching around to find me again, where I fit, where I belong in this world and as cheesy as it may sound, my purpose. I will take the time to work out, I will not put myself last on the list, making excuses for eating like crap, not going to the doctors in fear of sounding crazy and not listened to.I will push until I am heard and I will push for other people that I choose too when needed. I will fight for my family, I will fight for what I believe in rather than sitting back and being passive.
Maybe by listening to what I need and what I want will help me find my purpose and meaning in life.
Re: Life Resolution
this is a good one.. something I think about especially as a mom since I have totally left myself behind everyone else. I do want to put my kids first, but sometimes I need to just not do the dishes and take a quick break so that I'm not a total mess by the end of the day. It's good to remember to take care of yourself, mentally, physically, and emotionally.
