Today Is A NEW Start… (Once Again)

Michele Thill

--

It’s near the end of January, and for about 80% of people the New Year resolutions are already over. And some haven’t had the chance to even start yet.

Today, January 25th, is your ‘second shot’. It’s the Lunar New Year.

So many of us put ourselves last. The guilt factor comes in with all that we have going on. We just don’t have enough time in the day — or do we?

I shared in an earlier post that I set intentions instead of making resolutions. For me, intentions make it about the journey. Resolutions make it about the destination.

I set the intention on January 1st to practice yoga. Something I used to do, when I had more time…

Guess what, I will never have more time unless I make more time — and I did!

How? By limiting some time wasters — like cutting down on social media and emails. That sure opened up extra time for me.

Putting the focus on my life instead of everyone else’s is giving me the ability to do what is good for me.

If that sounds selfish or indulgent to you, I ask you to take a deeper look inside. As women, it seems to be an unwritten rule that we should put ourselves last…

…Yet, it’s such a necessity to put ourselves first — take care of ourselves so we can take care…
