It’s almost that time again…a time to reflect, reject, and renew. When I was diagnosed with breast CANcer in October of 2016, I made a decision going into 2017, I would not make any more resolutions. I would not drive myself crazy doing all of the things I grew up believing I should do, like taking all of the trash out of the house by midnight, changing the sheets, washing all of the clothes, etc. Going through all of these rituals to bring in the New Year was exhausting. I didn’t have the energy then and I didn’t want to spend my time working when I should be resting. I began then to make a lifestyle change and purposefully enjoy the moments with my families and not focus on all of the external appearances, Pomp and Circumstance!
Reflect, reject and renew…
When you go through tragedies, traumas, and triumph, you see the world around your differently. Things you thought were important are no longer worth your time, things you took for granted are now a priority, and what you did not notice is now intently a focus. I have learned to REFLECT on my day, my words and my actions, REJECT those thoughts that are not spiritually grounded in the Word of God and remain positive, and RENEW a lifestyle that is healthy both emotionally and physically.
So as we go into this New Year of 2019, let your light shine and stay positive. Make changes in your life that will sustain you and provide you with the ability to live life in a way that makes you happy and shows others that anything is possible.
Make lifestyle changes for 2019, no resolutions!
Never give up, no matter what you’ve gone through!
Out of darkness comes light. There is divine purpose in everything you are challenged with in life!
Remember to thank God everyday for another day to thank God for another day!
Each day is not promised. Live…Love…Laugh!
Stay grounded in the Word, the very foundation that never cracks no matter the storm!
Open your mind to new challenges and take risks.
Live…Love…Laugh!
Understand that you have a purpose driven life. God gives you his path for your life!
Take time to enjoy the view! Spend time with family, friends, and yourself!
Identify what your priorities are and clearly define how you address them.
Only do what you can. Do not feel guilty because you said no or you didn’t go!
Never let anyone define your fight.
Surround yourself with people and things that bring you joy, bring you peace, and bring you positivity.
