Welcome back, my dear friends and readers!! Happy NEW YEAR 2023!!! Or as I like to say – Happy NEW QUEER! 🤣😊😁😉
I do hope the holidays were good for all of you, and that you were/are happy and safe and loved and above all else, mentally well!
So. Another New Year. Another Auld Lang Syne – as the Barry Manilow song suggests.
And so now what?
New Year’s Resolutions?
A promise to lose that weight?
Get healthy?
Start that business?
Get a better job?
Look for that special person to settle down with?
These are the typical things, I suppose, one may think about at this time.
Or is it just going to be the same old thing? Same old habits?
I grew tired of making New Year’s resolutions AGES ago. Instead, I really try very hard to make it a practice to incorporate what I want to do in my DAILY life. And I feel that it has worked out for me.
Is my life better? In many ways, yes. And then I feel like, no it’s not. I suppose it is all in the eye of the beholder, as one would say. No, I am not where I would like to be in life. However, I am building, what I would call, a solid foundation of at least specifically what I want out of life. Or at this age – THE REST OF MY LIFE! 😁😁😁😁 And a path and/or journey towards working on my goals.
I would like to encourage anyone reading this to do one thing. Just pick one thing this year, perhaps, you have ALWAYS wanted to do. And just focus on that for the entire year. If you feel you can handle two, then go for it. Three, have at it. And so on. The reason I say one, is just make it easy on yourself and don’t overdo.
And whatever that one thing is, perhaps consider that as your resolution. Or your personal change.
Or in my case – BUCKET LIST!! 🤣😁😉
Also, I would start by looking at your overall, current life and examine it and see how you feel about it.
Then see what is working for you and what isn’t.
Then I would start with the “what isn’t working for me” part and see what I could do to fix that, change that, or get rid of it altogether.
Because let’s face it, if something or even someone, such as a relationship or a friendship has outgrown its usefulness, then perhaps it is time to detach from it. (Notice I didn’t say the overused phrase “let it go!”) 😁😁😁
And again, just do one thing at a time.
Staying on track and keeping resolutions are tough. We have all tried and failed to keep them. But remember, if you feel that you cannot cope or your problems go deeper than resolutions and you need to speak with a professional, then online therapy may be the way to go. You can do this in the comfort of your own home without having to get in traffic to drive to an office. Check it out by clicking on the link below:
That’s it. Short and sweet. Next week it’s all about the fear of rejection and how it affects our mental wellbeing. Until then, and as always, please be safe and mentally well! And the best wishes for a FABULOUS 2023!!!
