New Year's resolutions

[azziria]

I've been thinking a bit about this, because 2011 was hard and I want 2012 to go a bit better. I've thought a lot about it, and in the end I've come up with one thing:

To be as kind and understanding to myself as I am to others.

I know that's not a SMART objective, and I can break it down into all sorts of concrete goals for exercise etc, but it is the overarching thing that I need to do this year. Maybe I should call it my mission statement?

sounds pretty smart to me!
It's too easy to fall into the trap of negative thinking about ourselves and then after a while-defining ourselves by our faults and not our strengths.(hmmm can you tell I might just have done a little of this?) So I say YES- make it your mission statement.
(I am hopeless- the first thing I thought when I read CBT was c--- an ball torture-for a second was actually trying to figure out how that was going to help you !!!)

I have to mentally keep making that correction myself every time I read the initials somewhere...
