Well my birthday was a few days ago which meant it is the mark of a 'New Year' for me. I know many people start the 'New Year' on January 1st but I like to start on my birthday. It may sound weird but if you think about it, it really isn't. I think about all of the things that I have learned in that year where as on January 1st I'm thinkin about things I'm not going to eat and how I'm going to actually gain a few pounds. I know that sounds crazy because most people are trying to shed a few pounds. So it's really all about emotional, mental and spiritual growth.
My New Year resolution is to be a better me and to get rid of habits that are holding me back. But the most important resolution for me is to stop putting my dreams and idea on hold and to believe in them more. I have a habit of starting something and believing in it and then as I work on the idea and towards the dream, I begin to doubt myself.
I wonder why I doubt myself when the idea and dream are something that I've done in the past and was successful with. I think I begin to compare myself to others and then that's when the doubt sets in. I know that I shouldn't compare myself to others but sometimes you can't help it. I need to start comparing and competing with the old version of myself.
I need to think about what I can do for myself to make the new better than the old me. What did I learn from the old me that I can use to help the new me move forward and continue to move forward. I now have 360 days to figure it out and in those same days believe in not only my ideas but in me.
So here I go 5 days into my New Year and Im ready to go...at least I think so..:)
