Feel stressed out? Feel like you could be happier? Do you feel burdened by life's circumstances and stuck? Me too! Just being honest. It isn't that I am not thankful. I just thought life would like different at 35 then it is. I am just being transparent. The more I write the more I realize that I am lost. I never pictured a chronic illness in my future. Yet, here we are and here it is.
I am learning that walking away from a career in the corporate world to follow my heart is much harder than I thought it would ever be, still two years later. What defines a successful writer? What defines being a successful mother? Sister? Wife? Friend? Daughter? I am sure of none of this. I am letting go of a lot of things and leaving them in the year of 2016. I need to become a better person tomorrow. In order to do that I am saying goodbye to somethings for this year.
I have to learn how to let go of the person I thought I should be at 35 in order to be the person I really want to be at 35. Goodbye to anything in life that is holding me back from reaching my potential.
10 Major Goodbyes
1. I going to say farewell to my major stress. I am going to let go of my fear of judgement that most have probably thought I already have let go of. Really deep down inside, I hold onto wanting to be validated.
2. Elimination of stressors that make my immune system week.
3. Goodbye to those that make me feel guilty for doing what I truly want to do.
4. Let go of things I wish went differently. Somethings I just can not change no matter how hard I wish.
5. Relationships that are not what I wanted them to be and just except them for what they are. At one point in your life, that “whatever" was exactly what I wanted.
6. Let go of worrying. I am living IN the day.
7. I am saying goodbye to blaming anyone for anything that has happened in the past. It's time to get over it and tell a new story. I am my own person. I am in charge of my own life. If I don't like something, I have two choices, accept it or change it.
8. Goodbye to complaining I am broken. I am the way I am for a reason. There is a purpose in my brokenness.
9. Goodbye to the feeling of needing to do more and be more. I always hustle to the break and have done the best I can. I am enough. I do enough. Being a mom/wife is enough.
10. I am not in charge of everyone. I am the mom of 3 not 93. I am taking care of me and those 3 as best as I can!
