New Year, Same Me, Different View…
“No matter what anybody says, you just have to still be like, “I’m still doing this. I’m still gonna succeed. I’m still gonna do my best.” Defy the odds. Why not?” – Jennifer Lopez
Oh man I cannot believe that it is finally 2021! First off, Happy New Year my dear reader and if you are just discovering my page welcome! Just like many, 2020 put me through the ringer up till the bitter end. This girl didn’t even make it to midnight to say goodbye to this past year. However, when I did wake up on Jan. 1st this thought came into my head. I better not see any posts about “New Year, New Me” Rather, I would love to see something along the lines of “New Year, Same Me, Different View” As much as I like to claim ownership of this statement it was actually a friend of mine who said it first. Well at least to me! But it did get me thinking that I need to go into 2021 with a different view on my life. I don’t know about you, but I feel like my eyes have been opened up to so much more than ever before. This is the first year that I feel ok with not achieving certain goals that I had set out for myself. Now I’m not saying that I am happy about that but rather I have accepted it. What I have truly discovered is that this year I really want to live my best life and focus on my health; both mentally and physically. This can only come if I put the effort forward to do it! I am a homebody there is no doubt about that. I love the comfort of being home but that is also very restrictive on living when it becomes the main thing. I can’t count the number of times I’ve backed out of doing things because it is out of my comfort zone or I am too tired/lazy. In all honesty many people would just call these excuses. I firmly believe in having down time but when down time becomes all the time it is not really living. So this year I decided to say yes more! Yes to the discovering the things that truly make me happy! It’s time to discover a world outside of what I know and bring a different view to 2021. What are some of your goals for this year?
