I love New Years! It's a great opportunity to do some soul-searching. I like to take time to reflect on the experiences, lessons and growth over the passing year.
I think it is important to acknowledge my weaknesses, and focus on how I can actively and realistically improve in the future. I like to acknowledge trials I've overcome, and the personal growth that came with them.
Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but I don't like to think of resolutions as a journey of self-improvement. My resolutions are not about becoming an entirely different person. I feel that resolutions for the sake of self-improvement holds negative connotations- implying I'm not good enough.
While it's important to reflect on the areas I can improve upon, I think it's even more important to focus on the areas in which I am strongest. When I acknowledge my strengths, I feel powerful - my strengths are fundamental building blocks to my self-confidence. I can use my strengths as motivation to improve upon areas where I'm weaker.
Focusing on my strengths gives me the confidence to make resolutions to unlock my infinite potential.
What are my resolutions this year?
- do more of the things that make me happy
- focus on finding the positives in bad situations
- stretching regularly to get my splits and back bending
- be kinder to myself
- have more conversations in French and Spanish
