I'm not doing that. I think there are benefits to the idea of focusing on one word, one area of improvement and making that your goal for the new year to come. I think it's good to re-evaluate yourself, where you are, where you want to be.
But. I also am in the mood today to say--yeah. whatever. I am who I am. The core things about me are what they are.
If you aren't re-evaluating yourself and your biz throughout the year, then maybe that's what you should review.
A once a year 'do better' checklist just won't cut it for me. I'm too critical, I fluctuate too much, I'm too emotional and in error too often to just think of how I can do better once a year.
Today the sun finally came out this afternoon. I was tired and worn out mentally and physically leading up to naps for the boys. I received an impromptu back rub-after returning from my toddlers room apologizing for getting mad before naps, luckily he's catching on and apologized for slamming the book for no reason and getting mad as well...we're all winning here- and snuck in my own nap after that.
SO. All that ramble to say that with all that combined I thought 'Man. I feel like I could go for a run. What out of reach fitness goal can I set for the new year?'
The above scenario and situation is deceiving to the reality of our day to day. The busy, the to-do, the work hours, keeping the boys alive and well...well enough at least, keeping the house decently clean, yada yada yada...
Why set a goal when I can't always step away to work out, putting the boys in the gym childcare, because in this stage of life it seems like half the time one of them is sick with something. Or the reality that right now stepping away from them to get some solo time most likely means spending time to get work done or with our other commitments.
Rock on if you can do the above. Rock on if there is something that stands out for you, that you want to highlight and focus on during this new year.
For me, I will try to rock on into the new year and work on my contentment.
New Year. Current Me.
I have worked hard to get where I am. God has brought me to this point and I need to be happy with who I am, who He is through me, and where I am. I need to be okay that I'll always be due for attitude and goal adjustments here and there. I'll get in my own time, mentally and physically, but also set aside that mindset and soak up time that we are given to have with the boys, my husband, family and friends.
I will be okay that right now, we are at a busy stage in life. Little ones that need a good amount of attention. That don't like to sleep in. That test my patience and at the same time show me how strong and forgiving love can be.
I will be me. I will strive to love strong, laugh loud, work hard and have some yummy moscato in between.
May this next year bring you lots of good luck and happiness.
