Do you have goals you promised yourself you'd make but haven't? Work with me to get your new year goals set. And I hope you read on..
I havent been paying attention to astrology for a few months but serendipity had me see this. I had just been constructing a post about how I've been approaching challenges differently than in my past.
Over this past year I have challenged myself to approach life differently. I finally felt in a place to do something with my health. I have been consistent with staying active. Ive persued hobbies I have long wanted to try. I tried new and different coping mechanisms for stress and difficult emotional hurdles rather than relying on ones that were known and comfortable (eating, watching TV, scrolling. I do still dissociate into fiction books).
Often times I forget that these are things I need to take pride in; these things I have slowly changed. I believe that because I started slow, one habit at a time, the changes have persisted. I have persisted. Not only that, when I do start to reach for old habits, im able to pause. To consider if what im about to do breaks a promise I made to myself. And one very important lesson I learned is that in order to have full self trust, I cant break promises to myself. I can't cross my own boundary. Keeping my word to myself has been a monumental shift in my emotional world.
