At the start of a new year it is typical that we start setting goals and creating new years resolutions. Many focus on diets, others on saving money and in general being more productive and effective. I am sharing my advice for 2023 which does not include sleep schedules and journaling though there’s nothing wrong with any of that but my advice is more about how you step out into the world and how you allow people to treat you.
If you are going to change anything about 2023, let’s begin with a shift in self respect and boundaries. So many of us allow people to talk down to us, ignore us and minimize our value. If you are going to set any new years goals start there, stop giving people permission to mistreat you. In this video I talk about your role in choosing better and separating yourself from toxic relationships and people who do not value you.
Many of us don’t want to hear this, but the reality is that if you are friends with people who overlook you and never listen to your opinion, you are in the wrong group of friends. If you are in a relationship with someone who doesn’t listen when you speak, who degrades you and humiliates you, you are in the wrong relationship and you don’t need me to tell you all of this, you know it, deep down you are unsettled about how people treat you, well my friend you are
allowing it so they continue this vicious cycle.
My wish for you is to put yourself first, step out in your full character and be YOU, being you means having standards and boundaries and holding people accountable who overstep their role in your life. It is time for change and only you can effectively do this and live your best life unafraid of anyone’s opinion of you , unafraid to speak your truth!
I wish you the best 2023 imaginable
