This year I will no longer put the goals and dreams of others ahead of my own.

This year I will spend no time fantasizing about men that are outside of my grasp.

This year I will smile at myself, long and hard and often and take the time to appreciate my specialness.

This year I will not drink myself into oblivion every time I have a personal problem, woe, or fear.

This year I will be nicer to be people I don’t care for and see myself in them.

This year I will try less and less to be a role model and example and try more and more to be authentic and genuine.

This year I will realize that no year, no month, no day is promised to me and I will take better care of my body for my mind’s sake and challenge my mind to complete only tasks that I feel passionately about for my soul’s sake.

This year I will remind myself that I control noone other than myself and I will be okay with that.
