There will always be things in life that are less than ideal – literally every single day could be a battle if that’s how you choose to view events and react to them. In the midst of a year full of undesirable, disheartening events, I’ve managed to maintain a positive mentality (most of the time) and have grown a lot personally.
I’ve learned…
If it makes me happy, no one else needs to understand.
I am a lot stronger mentally and emotionally that I thought I was.
I am happier when I prioritize time with friends.
Self-awareness is my strong suit.
I apologize way too much.
Lazy days are essential for my well-being.
My health encompasses equal parts exercise, nutrition, sleep, and relationships. If any are lacking, I’m not at my best.
There’s not much a long walk (or a good cry) can’t fix.
I will not get fat if I stop tracking my macros.
Feeling sorry for myself fixes nothing.
…about myself.
2020 was a year of simply trying to keep our heads afloat and our mental health tolerable. Here is to another year of expanding our mental and physical strength and well-being.
