A New Year

Hello, 2020! It has certainly been a while since I've been up here to write a post but, it's a new decade and a new year to be a better version of yourself. Over the years, I have grown and learned new things like being able to communicate in my relationship, thinking about what I want to say before actually saying it, and letting things that are meant to be fall into place. Last year was definitely challenging and I had a few breakdowns, but this year I'm not going to let it get me down. I want to change the way that I have been thinking and work on myself. I won't make any expectations for myself that I know I won't keep, so I will keep it simple and work my way into a steady schedule. The first step to bettering myself is how I wake up in the mornings. I wake up early and I'm instantly drawn to my phone and social media. I want to wake up and take at least 30 minutes to stretch, breathe, do some yoga, read, draw, and anything else that I haven't been motivated to do. I want to love myself and not turn down a compliment and instead embrace it. It would also be nice to start eating healthy, which for me has been a huge struggle because I love to eat junk and I have a hard time telling myself no. I don't want to be an angry person or feel frustrated because something isn't going right, I want to be able to deal with the struggles in a healthy way and be able to express my emotions. Things happen for a reason, whether they are good or bad and life definitely tests my patience ALL of the time but I'm willing to put the effort in. I'll definitely keep you guys updated and I hope this makes you want to start something new or even pick up something that was once forgotten.
