A friend sent me her list of resolutions for 2019 and gave me permission to share.
To keep love in my heart and find joy in the small things I encounter each day.
To remember that loneliness, depression, self-blame and guilt will pass – they are only thoughts, not who I am.
To push myself a little, gently, when inertia engulfs me.
To use my talents.
To laugh more.
To listen to music more often.
To remind myself that one person’s actions can make a difference.
To be ready to listen rather than speak.
To accept the things I cannot change.
To relish my family and friends and stay in touch.
To remember and honor the members of my family who are no longer with me.
To try to keep perceived problems and worries in perspective.
To breathe…and practice staying in the moment.
To eat smaller portions of real food, mostly plants. And to eat less sugar.
To not let fear limit me from doing things I really want to do, like traveling…
To keep walking and perhaps add strength training (inspired by RBG).
To keep a carrot in sight – games, travel books, time with friends.
To find ways to help others.
To remember that I am as young as I’ll ever be – and let that be enough.
