At nearly 61, I am of the mind that this year my New Year's Resolution/s will be, "No Resolution." And yet I'm so stinking goal, project, deadline driven, that unmaking is a tough resolution in itself!
So I think this year my resolutions will include one biggie that I've been working on these past few months, and that is refining the art of "Letting Go." I really don't like baggage - I have an uncluttered home, I don't pack much when traveling, I love clothes - so I'm re-evaluating my "brand," yet I wear little makeup and take only a few minutes in the morning getting ready for work. Working full-time and still having time for myself and my family has helped me sculpt this simpler life. I like Hygge, and I have written about it more than once, and in this complicated world I live in but don't want to live in, I need to find my way, once again, into simplicity, particularly for myself.
And with that, in the words of Jill Sherer Murray (I know little about her except for this Ted talk), I will be letting go of:
1. Taking things personally and over analyzing them
2. What other people think and believe
3. Trying to be someone other than myself, conforming is boring
4. The need to be perfect or "fit in"
5. "Not yet," don't take time for granted.
Adding to this:
1. Laugh
2. Love
3. Me
As always, the above are subject to change - 😊
