How to be Kinder in 2018
Tuesday, March 20, 2018
At the end of last year, I sat down and really evaluated
what I wanted out of life, I took a look at the things that were making me
happy, and those that weren’t, and decided that my focus going forward had to
be to do things in service of making the happy things outweigh everything else.
With that in mind I decided to write goals for 2018 as
opposed to resolutions. I wanted to have things that I could work at, things
that I wouldn’t beat myself up about if I failed to keep them up. Resolutions
have a certain amount of guilt attached to them (IMHO) in that nobody expects
you to keep them, but society will always take pleasure in pointing it out when
you don’t. I’ve had enough of feeling guilt, so I wasn’t about to put myself in
the situation where I was heaping that guilt onto myself.
That is why the goals were born, and I think that is why now,
in the 3rd week of March, I am still maintaining a healthy
relationship with them! I thought it would be nice to share what I’ve been
doing this year whilst referring to them to see just how well I’m doing. Full
disclosure: a couple of the items in this post were sent to me to try out, but
I only accepted them because they fit with what I am trying to do with my life,
and I would have written this post with or without them.
