Looking back on 2016 I have mixed feelings on my progress. I tend to get down on myself when this time of year comes around because I compare where I am now to where I was exactly a year ago. My mind begins to criticize and self hate; "you should have worked harder", "you should have saved more", "you didn't reach your goals". While this happens subconsciously, you must stop those inner demons that tell you that you had an unsuccessful year. I could sit here and think of all of the things that I didn't achieve, leading to a breakdown and more self hatred. Instead I sat thinking, why do I do this to myself every year? While 2016 was not as productive as I had hoped it would be and I did not reach all of the goals that I set out to reach, I became a better, more real, and genuine person. I educated myself, I spoke out on things I am passionate about, I stood up for myself, I stopped caring about my media image, I realized that I want everything in my life to be real, I became a stronger woman. It may not have been the physical things I wanted to achieve like getting my goal body, but it is far more important that I develop into the genuine person I have always hoped to be.
2017 my inner revolution. I hope to...
put myself first
get healthy mentally and physically
stand up for girls, keep fighting patriarchy
meet harry❥
read two new books a month
continue to not use my devices as much
never be silent, speak out and loudly about my political and social views
become close to fluent in the french language
put myself out there more and take more chances
travel every chance i get
experience things fully, have real connections and emotions
be nicer to myself
stop apologizing. stop apologizing. stop apologizing.
Best wishes for 2017, I hope all of your dreams come true. I hope your inner revolution leads to self love and happiness.
Love to all❥
