This is why I will be alone on New Year’s…
Initially, my plan was to go camping with a friend. But when he couldn’t make it, I had a choice... Cancel the trip or go alone.
The old me would have canceled without a second thought. After all, New Year’s always seemed like something meant to be spent surrounded by people.
When I shared my plan to go camping alone, I was met with questions like, “Aren’t you going to be bored?” or people saying, “That sucks.” And it’s okay, I get it, spending New Year’s Eve alone doesn’t exactly scream celebration to most people. But why should I subscribe to other people’s idea of fun?
For years, I thought New Year’s was all about being surrounded by crowds, getting drunk, and waking up the next day feeling hungover, only to make resolutions like “this year I want to be healthier.” But how can I start the year with intentions that don’t match my actions?
I realized this was an opportunity to start the year in a way that truly aligned with who I am now and the life I want to create. To feel grounded, calm, and connected to myself.
So this year, instead of following that same unfulfilling cycle, I made a different choice. I choose to wake up on January 1st feeling refreshed, inspired, and fu***ng grateful for the life I’ve created. What once would have been the most uncomfortable thing to spend New Year’s alone, has now become the most aligned and empowering decision I’ve ever made.
✨ What I’ve Learned: ✨
Get out of your comfort zone
Learn to be okay being alone
Love yourself enough to create the life you want
Don’t wait for the right time to live your dreams
Be grateful for what you have now, and watch more blessings flow
Everything good is on the other side of discomfort. Start living the life you want now. Your future self will thank you. 💚
