Most people make a New Year's Resolution. I've tried a time or two and I never stuck by them. However, in April of this year I got a 2x4 telling me that some major changes needed to be made if I was going to be happy. Because of that wake up call, I've been slowing, but surely adopting new behaviors and modifying old ones so I can be the best ME possible. I was tired of my old ways of doing things and honestly, if the 2x4 hadn't come along, I would probably be not so merrily going on with them. I think that there is a reason for most things that happen in life, good or bad. I have to say, I'm definitely liking myself a heck of a lot more these days!!

I wanted to share some of my changes that I'm working on with you wonderful MBer's and ask that some of you share yours if you would like.

My changes/modifications are:

To stop living with and in fear.
To stop holding too tight because I'm scared.
To start living for all the wonderful things that I have been blessed with.
To stop wondering "what if" and start going by what IS.
To stop remembering yesterday and instead think about today.
To not forget the lessons I've learned.
To forgive those who have done me harm, no matter how big or small.
To stop being an enabler.
To be ME in any situation and not give up my boundaries because it makes me less likable.
To not let past transgressions get me down.

These are just a few. What about you guys?
