So, a New Year a new you, right? Well, how is this year going to be different? How are you going to be different? I’m not talking about your typical New Year’s Resolution. I’m talking about the things that are happening in your life that are just down right pissing you off, things that you are dying to change, because they are constantly draining you. The things that if you don’t change, you will have a worse year than before, since they will continue to deplete you.
Wake up ladies, it is time to put yourself first! I’m so frustrated of the hopelessness that sits with most of today’s women that feel that they don’t have any other choice than the life they are living. Or if they do see a choice, they think just getting one more accomplishment (responsibility) will bring them happiness. I am upset that they are missing out on so much joy! It is time for us to claim our joy this year!
For the most part, resolutions don’t work, they don’t work because they aren’t created from the belly of the problem; they are created from the surface. We think that if we just add one more thing to do that will make us more acceptable/appreciated in society, that we will be happier. Guess what! It will only make us bury what would really make us happy even deeper.
So, are you going to spend this year the same way you spent last year? Do you think that just because you think it’ll change that it will? Because let me tell you something, if you don’t do anything different, that will be your same fate, except it will probably feel a little bit worse.
You deserve to be happy every day! It is possible to have more joy and fulfillment in your life! Who is responsible for that joy! You!
Instead of doing more, think about doing less! If you keep living the way you are, what are you teaching your children, to society? Do you want to show them that living a life to please others is ok?
It is not ok to be frazzled at the end of every workday because you are thinking about all the things you have to do at home! It is not ok to worry about how you, your children, or your house appears because of fears of other people’s judgments! It is not ok that you feel that you are insignificant even though you are likely the biggest contributor in your family! This, my friends is what has to change, not your waistline, not your productivity level, not your list of approving people! What has to change is your personal level of joy!
I am hoping this wake up call will help you find clarity on what you really need to resolve in 2015. I am hoping that you understand what you have to do, and that you are ready to make the first steps to find your joy. I am hoping you will join me in showing other women that we are worthy of joy!
