"We’ve been put in a pressure cooker of self-improvement, and sold apps and hacks to reach a promise of happiness that very few of us can really say we’ve achieved." - no truer words were ever said
Your line, “What can you remove from your life? … a negative belief about yourself?” hit the nail on the head for my resolution. Even if I have to stick a post-it note on my mirror, I want to start a daily habit of mentally listing the thing's (that I’d like to hope) my friends think of me. I have become way too well-versed in listing what I think is wrong with me, and I know that kind of shaming only digs deep, dark holes.
Such great inspiration! I’m committing to removing my AM social media doom scroll. The second I open my eyes I reach for my phone and I think id feel improvement in so many ways if I got rid of that. Now I have to figure out how to set myself up for success, maybe put my phone in another room. We shall see!
Here's to less self-blame in 2024. I'm proud of who I am, and want to say goodbye to the hyper-critical part of me who's always wishing she did something different in the past. This year is all about embracing where I've been, with gratitude for how far I've come.
