As you contemplate what you’d like to do differently in 2019, I urge you to consider a resolution for self-kindness. Yes, focus on things like fitness and your career, AND look at ways you can turn your attention within to create inner peace and self-directed happiness.

Resolve to say “no” more often.  When requests make you uncomfortable or don’t align with your personal goals, kindly thank the person making the ask and use the opportunity to put that energy into self-care.  

Resolve to ask for help when needed.  Rather than struggle or push through tough situations, get the support you need from someone you trust.

Resolve to rest and rejuvenate.  Identify activities that allow you to step back from the intensity of your daily life to generate the energy needed to accomplish your goals.  

Finally, resolve to look at yourself through loving eyes.  Self-love is the foundation for health and happiness. (SEE VIDEO BELOW)
