01/03/2024
Iโll be honest, Iโve never really set New Yearโs resolutions for myself. I usually have a constant list of goals to help keep me focused, but after sitting and talking to friends and seeing others pick a word to set for the year got me thinking.โ
โ
What do I want 2024 to look like for me? โ
โ
Letโs get real. 2023 was a year that I felt like I lost myself and the fire I had for all my passions in this life. Having to start over in more ways than one took everything out of me that I felt I had left to give. I didnโt feel strong or confident, and didnโt believe in myself. I felt like I had no idea what I was doing and was holding on by a thread, pretending I was fine and everything was going well when that wasnโt the case at all. I didnโt know how to express myself and whatever I was feeling that day. Whether that was me being a complete mess, or being weird and goofy, or loud and chaotic, or quiet and calm. I didnโt know how to just BE. I was so focused on how I thought I SHOULD be versus feeling secure and safe enough to just be me. โ
โ
So my word for this year is โ
โ
POWER
โ
2023 was meant to break me, to push my limits, to crush my perspective about people and life. Because there are opportunities coming this year that I wouldnโt have been able to handle without seeing what I could make it through. A new found strength was the very thing I was meant to attain. โ
โ
Power can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but to me it means the โ
โ
Power to embrace change. โ
Power to let myself be afraid and do it anyway. โ
Power to fail. โ
Power to admit I need help when I do. โ
Power to get up again. โ
Power to laugh. โ
Power to love. โ
Power to align myself with my goals and dreams. โ
Power to be me.โ
โ
Letโs get it 2024. Weโre plugging in. ๐โจ
