I have never been gentle with myself.
I always push.
Expect so very much from myself.
I rarely speak kind words about myself.
I am certainly never loving.
But the past 2 years have broken something inside of me. It has broken things I use to care so much about into little tiny pieces of “I couldn’t care less”.
Spend energy counting calories? No thank you.
Worry about my mom pooch? I literally don’t even blink about you anymore.
Try so hard to get everyone to like me? To be good enough? Yeah not enough brain space for that.
So for the first time in probably 15 years, my word of the year does not revolve around doing. Pushing, trying more.
I have chosen the word I desperately crave in my life right now….peace.
So if you see me and I am a little chunkier than I use to be, a little less chipper, a little quieter and reflective. It’s because I am focusing inward and making choices to bring that peace into my life.
