The New year

I love the idea of a new year, and I hate it at the same time. It acts as a sticky note on the calendar where people remember " Oh shit, that's right, I should spend time on myself"......Really?

 That's all you give yourself? A few minutes one day a year? And then berate yourself for the rest of the year about how you didn't actually follow through?

 Do you know why you failed so hard?

 Because you didn't put the time in. 100% Everyday. You didn't put yourself first. 

That's right. Let that set in. 

Now breathe, because it will be OK. 

 Failure is OK. It means you tried, and you get an opportunity to try again. So many times we act as though our life is over if we fail. 

IT'S OK TO FAIL. ( A lesson I had a really hard time learning) . 

 Failure means you tried. What's worse, not trying or trying and learning from failure?

Be kind to yourself, but at least give yourself some time. Time work 

towards where you want to be. Time to relax, time to breath. Time to think. 

We are so often afraid to stop, because that's when our thoughts start to get really loud. Why are we so afraid of what they have to say?

 As we step into the new year, give yourself time, love and support. Pay attention. Pay attention to the way you treat yourself, and ask if that is how you want to be treated. 

 You might be surprised at the answer.
