No Talk, Just Do
I don't make resolutions. I used to, but wisely I quit. I figured when I kept breaking them after a few weeks or months that something had to change, and it had to start with my thoughts and actions. Here are a few of my failed resolutions:
Don't failures look so much prettier when they look like that? Still, they are places where I fell short, and that is where the most learning takes place. What I really learned is that I needed to be a person of action instead of talk. Talk is cheap.
It's easy to say I'm going to do something, but the follow-through is another issue. I can say I'll love my fam, but unless I actually do it the words are meaningless. I figured what was the use in making resolutions if it was all talk and no action. I had to make lifestyle changes.
Instead of just wanting to read my bible, workout & lose weight, I made changes to make sure I did. I started by putting things on my calendar so I wouldn't forget. They say you put things that are important to you on your calendar. How true that is. Many of my most precious events are on my calendar: birthdays, anniversaries, angelversaries, important events.... These reminders that pop up on my phone helped me create new & better habits.
It takes 21 days to create a new habit. 21 days is doable. 21 days to put a plan into action & make me a person of action instead of talk. 😀
Here's to 2019. Here's to us being better this year. Loving more, laughing often, having gratitude for the little things, and throwing kindness like it's going out of style. And maybe making a workout or two, and eating more green veggies as well, but especially...
...Celebrating life & a new year,
