Mesolutions
This year, I resolve to be kinder to myself.
I resolve to stop bullying myself.
I resolve to stop making fun of myself for every little misstep.
I resolve to stop berating myself when I make mistakes.
I resolve to stop calling myself "stupid", "idiot" and "fat ass".
I resolve to feel like I am good enough.
I resolve to feel like I deserve the good things.
I resolve to not feel responsible for the bad.
I resolve to give myself a mommy mulligan when I need it.
I resolve to feel OK doing something just for me.
I resolve to feel worthy of the life I have.
I resolve to love myself.
No matter what.
I resolve to be OK with the fact that I will probably screw all of these up.
Happy New Year, friends.
I hope the best day of your 2012 is the worst day of your 2013.

I didn't know you were so down on yourself. Stop that now, Sugar, because you rock. And I resolve to never call you Sugar again.
ReplyDeleteAren't most women? Ha.
DeleteI don't know... probably. You are a very funny, very smart, very real and open person who, from what I can tell so far, has a lot of great qualities!
DeleteHappy New Year! I have many similar resolutions- let's keep them together. The biggest one is to stop bullying myself. I have enough people in my life (I am a law student and surrounded by Jack asses) that bully me enough! so team me! is my new motto!
ReplyDeleteKeep writing- your blog makes me smile every, single, day. Really it does- some days it was the only thing that made me smile- your coping helped me to come to terms with my own problems and see a doc- so stop bullying yourself and instead give yourself a gold star..or a pedicure :)
Take Care!
Thanks so much for that. To a new us in 2013!
DeleteRadical self love for the win! Write down a few spectacular things about yourself and repeat them in a mirror to yourself. OUT LOUD.
ReplyDeleteeven if it's just "You are super awesome". It will feel great to hear it outloud :)
Ha. Like Stewart?
DeleteGood resolutions! I think I'll steal them and make them my own as well! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's to seeing the best in ourselves this coming year and overlooking our (occasional) shortcomings.
Occasional bwahahaha.
DeleteI know so many women that could really use this post so I'll be "sharing" (why does that word piss me off so much?). I am printing this post and placing it on my kitchen mirror, where most of my self-abuse occurs. Because, I'm good enough, I'm strong enough and doggonnit, people like me.
ReplyDeleteI think you should also add, "I will not hurl myself down the stairs anymore". You've been there, done that. m'kay?
God idea. Ha.
DeleteAhh I love this. I'm doing similar things this year.
ReplyDeletegood luck!
