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?

CBT can be very useful (so I'm told, you may be talking to the only person for whom it doesn't work) and yes, keeping yourself in mind and putting yourself first are very smart things to do! I applaud this idea.

Life is hard; it's how we work our way through it that counts. And hey, look, you're doing this thing and talking about it, baby steps!
