Hopes for 2021

Greetings Everyone,

I hope you are all well today. Hopefully 2021 has started off well. As for me, I am great. I have never been the type of person who makes a lot of resolutions or declare “new year, new me.” I try to improve myself everyday of the year. I am constantly evolving, and I encourage you to do the same thing. Here are the changes I have made so far this year: (1) I am putting myself first and setting limits. This is something that I have honestly struggled with. I used to go out of my way to ensure everyone else is taken care of before I took proper care of myself. In turn, I allowed people to mistreat me. Now, I am very expressive about everything. I have called out many people on their foolishness as well as cut ties with others. We are not perpetuating toxic in 2021. I don’t care who the person is. Additionally, I am not waiting around for people to act right. My patience is limited. (2) I continue to work on my finances. I am striving for financial independence. I am trying to reduce and ultimately eliminate my debt. I have not used my credit cards often during the past several months. I also have a small savings balance, which has been rare in the past. (3) I am watching my food intake. I am trying to learn more healthy living alternatives. I have been slowly losing weight. I still have between 80 to 100 pounds to lose to reach my goals. I do walk around a lot as well as drink a lot of water. I do a lot of intermittent fasting. I have reduced my salt, carb, and sugar intake. I have more progress that I hope to make this year. (4) I am practicing overall happiness. I am honestly happier than I have ever been in my life. There are a lot more good things in my life than negative. I am choosing to focus on the good. No, my life is not where I want it to be. There are many things that I wish were different. However, I am grateful for all of the progress which I have made to date. (5) I am working on organizing and downsizing things in my house. I have never been a very organized person, especially since I have an Attention Deficit Disorder diagnosis. I am highly functioning. However, my goal is to learn how to function even more.

You might be asking the relevance of all of this. The relevance is simple: at least make goals and plans in your daily life. We are all a work in progress. We need to all evolve to be the best version of ourselves. We outgrow people and circumstances, and that is okay. The main point is acknowledging our downfalls and needs for change and growth are essential. We are going to make 2021 a good year. Claim it. Manifest. Grow and thrive. Continue to live your best life and evolve.

Peace and blessings everyone.
