A week or so ago, I wrote about how “my balloon popped” – roughly translated into me sobbing in the bathroom as all of my emotions erupted in a sad and personally disappointing way. A week later, I am living in a state of deep-rooted bliss. I have spent each day feeling energized, productive, fulfilled, joyful, more patient, proud, and motivated. What’s changed?
The problem with the New Year’s resolution is that it’s too easy to fail. There is only 1 way to succeed and if we miss that mark we label ourselves as a failure. As such, I have given up on setting New Year’s resolutions and instead set New Year’s Intentions. If there is one thing that I want you to take away from this, it is that this is supposed to lift you up in your weakest moments, not tear you down. Let your intention be a light, when all else feels dark and confusing.
