Since getting healthy, I have come to some realizations about New Years. Resolutions are just another way to tell ourselves, we suck....we're not enough... and if you're like me, they tend to be the same ones every year...so let's add EPIC FAIL to our unspoken self realizations.
Instead of resolutions, this is the time of year I like to take a pause for all my accomplishments (it just makes me feel better about myself!). Like everyone else, I beat myself up enough throughout the year, so why add to it while ringing in the new.
My 2015 was all about that change! And Jack Johnson's lyrics have become my new theme song.
"Move like a jelly fish. Rhythm is nothing. You go with flow and don't stop."
~Jack Johnson
My Top Twelve From 2015:
(I challenge you to make you own!! Even if you favor resolutions this time of year, it's a fun way to give yourself a pat on the back for what you've accomplished! )
1. Left a position I adored and thought I would retire from. (This was a very necessary change that snowballed the rest of my year into exciting things!!!)
2. Accepted a new position that would prove to be an amazing journey.
3. Discovered my
4. Bought our second home (a beautiful Craftsman! I LOVE our new home!)
5. Spent the summer working w/ my best friend on our old house to get it ready for rent (and simultaneously increased his patience threshold!)
6. Became a landlord and found some really awesome tenants!
7. Yielded a ton of yummy eats from our first official garden in our new home! Mmmmm butternut squash!
8. Had our first dinner party! (never entertained because our other house was just tiny)
9. Let go. (I mean this year gave me serious practice!)
10. Became flexible (and I'm not talking about fitness--- which will go back on my Resolution list :/ )
11. Tried my hand at kale recipes and LOVE them!! (from our garden)
12. Accepted that I may never be a yogi, but during PMS, it is paramount that I play the part!
