this is a love letter to myself…
dear self,
this is the year you will not let anxiety run your life. this is the year you will focus on your own well being, you will lose the extra weight, become more active and focus on becoming a healthier version of you. You will not let other people’s problems affect your life so much that you lose sleep at night. You will not worry about past decisions and regrets nor look to the future with stress and expectation, it will all work out. You will focus your energy on the present and not let life fly by anymore and worry about whether or not you’re doing anything worthwhile. This is the year you will let love in if it finds you rather than push it away because you think you don’t deserve it. Self, this is your year.
–Love, me.

Happy new year!
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight……. g’luck with that.
stick to the active part first and work on the rest next year would be my approach.
otherwise you’re piling on too much for one year which leads to stress and panic.

Thank you for this post. I really appreciate it, and can relate to everything you wrote! Loving yourself is one of the most important things you can do in life, and I am glad that you are well on your way to that! You should check out the book, “The Road Less Traveled” by M. Scott Peck, M.D. It may help you a little along the way! Good luck to you on this journey we call life!
