With all of these resolutions and goals flying around the blogosphere lately, I'm sure change has been on your mind as much as mine. 2013 is so promising, a brand new year, a clean slate. There's just something about it that makes me hopeful. And anytime I get a spare moment to let my mind wander, I start thinking about how I want this new year to be different than any other year. How I want it to really be the BEST year yet, like I said in my last post.
So I got to thinking...what do I need to change to make that happen? How do I want to make this year different? Change is a tough thing, but a good thing. In order for this year to be different than any before, SOMETHING(s) have to CHANGE!
With that being said, I want to know what YOU would change. Is there something you want to change about yourself? About your life? Something serious? Something trivial? Job wise? Body wise? Personality wise? Maybe something about a relationship you are in? What would make this year the best year ever for you?
Post it as yourself, post it as anonymous if you want to, just post it. Heck, even if you don't usually comment, do it this once. Let's put our changes out there, so we can really KNOW what we want to be different by the time 2014 rolls around. Maybe this time next year, we can all look back
on this and see if we actually accomplished it. And who knows, maybe in the process, we'll find encouragement from others to really make things happen in our own lives.
So, you want to know what I'd change about myself? I want to be less hard on myself. I'm my own worst enemy--I have no self confidence. I spent so many years hiding behind the "fat girl" facade, trying not to stand out, and my ego has remained the same. I want to accept me for ME and stop comparing myself to others. I'll never be as thin as some, I'll never be as popular as others. This blog will never have 10,000 followers. I'll never work out as much as some. The list goes on and on. But that's okay. I'm me, and I want to really learn to love myself this year. For better or for worse :)

So, spill the beans. What would YOU change? What differences in YOU or in your LIFE would make 2013 the greatest year yet?

no more gossip! I want this year to be the year that I utter not even 1 word about someone even if it is veiled in concern or prayer.
Absolutely no gossip.
letting go of so many fears/anxieties so i can fully live
I want to find a daily devotional that I love and could share with my husband. (Any suggestions are welcome) I think starting or even ending my day with this will have an impact on the other areas in my life that I would like to see change. We have a sweet little boy on the way in a couple months and bringing ourselves closer together as a couple and us closer to God will only make us better people and better parents.
I need to stop getting annoyed with everyone so easily. Mainly my coworkers and sister. You know that won't be easy, though.
I would love to move up in my job so that I could support myself and move out of my parent's house.
The Gossip comment convicted me. I need to be on my best behavior with this. Only positive uplifting words need to come out of my mouth!
My husband's sister and I don't speak. I really hope 2013 will be a year where we'll finally have a relationship again. I'm going to have to change my way of thinking about her before that can happen, though. Here's to forgiveness and moving on.
I want confidence in my work. Simple as that. Be a go getter, I suppose.
I want to GET HEALTHY. If losing weight comes along with it, then good, but I need to focus on my health so I can live a long and happy life!
Also: Get over my anxieties and become confident in myself. Hopefully this will help me pass the bar!!
(P.S. Love this post)
I want to stop allowing others opinions to affect me. I really want to not care what other people think completely owning all of my decisions. That's my biggest change I want to see this year :)
It's a personality and outlook goal for me. I held onto a lot of grudges and took a lot of things personally at work in 2012. New leaf, baby. Starting fresh and playing nice even when I don't feel like it this year.
Girl, I just love you!!! You are so beautiful inside and out!!!!!!!!!!
I want to be a better friend!
Thanks for this encouragement, girl!!! I want to love Jesus more. Everyday.
Whoa... Stopping by from Life of Meg and so glad I did! Thanks for the encouragement and challenge. :)
