Restoring my soul.

Well that’s at least what I would love to believe about myself.  That I am the type of person to help myself. I am very good, almost a world champion at helping everyone else to achieve their goals.  I am not so good at motivating myself to do the same.

I don’t do resolutions because I just set myself up for failure each year.  So instead I repeat that I am going to be the best person,friend,wife,mum that I am capable of being.

This year I hope will be different at 40 plus some months, I think I should be mature enough to cope with a little self development.  I will get healthier, I will sort out my finances, I will have well behaved children (because that is lacking in todays society). I will be proud of ALL my achievements, no matter how small they seem to others.

I will not allow the dissenters to get me down or talk me out of my goals, because they have to deal with their own expectations of the sort of person they want me to be.  I will be more true to myself and stop worrying about what others think or say or feel about what I should be doing with my life.

I will develop self confidence (or at least begin to).

Yeah the list is long and possibly unachievable in one year, but the point is to begin.  One small step etc.  I am hoping that I have surrounded myself with the right friends and the right people to help me get through the year.

Yes there will be challenges, there will be pitfalls and huge mountains in the way- I will persevere  with my mantra – “I am worth it”. 

Oh and I will also blog more often.

Happy New Year everyone.
