This Week's Opening Thought: January 2, 2023

in

This week's opening thought: If you're into making New Year's resolutions (I'mma keeping my opinions on New Year's resolutions to my damn self), I implore you to be selfish as hell with said resolutions.

Make your resolutions about your health and well-being that are mentally, physically, and emotionally healthy and not driven by the voices and abuse of others.

Make resolutions around seeking and maintaining the joy and energy you need to thrive and grow.

Make resolutions that help you fight the urge to make resolutions you're "supposed to make" as dictated by societal, familial, and workplace-based pressures.

Make your resolutions for you, by you, and about you.

It's OK to be selfish sometimes. And it will always be OK - and healthy - to be selfish when it comes to what you need to live your life happily while mitigating mental, emotional, and physical harm.

Here's to your resolutions being all about you.
