Let this year be Different
1. Take responsibility for your own life.
Less complaining this year and don’t play victim. Accept your mistakes and move on.
2. Cut out toxic people from your life.
Some toxic people are there to stay and you can do nothing about that. Plan on how to handle that relationship.
3. Have good uplifting conversations with the people you love.
Schedule and spend quality time with them.
4. Learn to forgive again and again and again.
Those whom you have wronged and those who have wronged you. Forgive yourself for making stupid mistakes. Forgive your parents for faults they committed towards you and your siblings.
5. Embrace the gift of imperfection.
It makes you a better human being. When you are not perfect, you are approachable and a better companion. People feel they can be themselves around you.
