I will not swallow my truth.
Because each time you do, your voice, your heart, and your soul shrink a little more.

Resolutions are tough.
Thought.is
Great when youre making them, but hard to keep to.
And then comes the guilt.
The feeling of failure.
Thought.is
And with it, the reluctance to take another crack.
How about you make a list of everything youwontdo next year?
A list of anti-resolutions.
Next year…
I will not allowother peopleto dictate my life.
Not your career, your relationships, your appearance, or your beliefs.
I will not base my worth on my relationship status.
Place your hand on your heart.
I will not continue to do shit I hate.
Start the new year with ashit-you-hatedetox.
I will not keep company with people who dull my sparkle.
You know the ones Im talking about.
Those who deal in idle gossip, Chinese whispers, and negativity.
Those who complain all day about their circumstances, but wont do a thing to change them.
Those who say one thing to your face, and another behind your back.
Those who take without giving, and are never truly there for you when you need them most.
Let this be the year you part ways.
Each day brings an abundance of beauty, wonder, and joy.
Make a point of stopping to take a look around and drink it all in.
Dont go to bed without recognizing all youve been blessed with.
I will not swallow my truth.
Because each time you do, your voice, your heart, and your soul shrink a little more.
And you were born to be seen and to be heard.
If you feel the urge to say something, say it.
If you feel the need to do something, then do it.
Quit hiding your heart.
Speak your truth, and allow it to set you free next year.
I will not stay with someone who makes me feel lonely.
I will not be a bystander to my own life.
Assume the starring role, rise up, and start taking control of your destiny.
Your life will be what you choose to make of it.
I will not be afraid to try something new.
Fear has held you back for far too long.
I will not betoo hard on myself.
Sometimes youll have more to give, other times youll have a little less, and thats okay.
Stop thinking that you better be a perfect human, creating a perfect life inside a perfect world.
Because thats life, and that is how you grow and make better decisions the next time around.
I will not live this year like I did the last.
Because to do that would be to stunt your growth, and life is all about evolving.
If youre not growing, youre only dying.
Next year, live each day with intention, with purpose, and with passion.
You know all of those things you talked about doing this year?
Make a plan todothem next year.
Embrace life and open yourself to all that its desperate to offer you.
