I’ve had the same new year’s resolution for as long as I can remember: Make this the greatest year of your life. I think of it more as a command than a “resolution.”
I’ve never waned in reaching that goal. In the darkest years, I not only survived, but thrived.
This year I settled a lot of traumas, had a loving romantic relationship, took on jiu-jitsu, found Wim Hof Method breathing and cold therapy, deepened my meditation and prayer practices, met and connected with new people, found bravery in accepting more freedom for my sons, let go of those things that did not serve me, bought an RV for expanded adventures, and had a whole lot of fun while learning every day.
It was the greatest year of my life and I will use all that I gained to ensure that next year is even better.
