Take a Chance on Yourself
As the new year quickly approaches, I am beginning to reflect on my past year and set new intentions for 2020. Are you someone who sets intentions or goals each year? I am, however, most years I fall short on my goals. I set my intentions too high and always allow my excuses to hold more power than my vision. This year, though, I am setting only one intention. In 2020, I intend to take a chance on myself. Meaning, I will bet on myself, my dreams, my health, my relationships, my passions, etc. And so should you.
Your dreams need you - bet on them, bet on yourself. Maybe you want to continue working on your mental wellbeing, or learn a new skill, get back into the dating scene, or make a career change. Perhaps you want to start a new evening or morning routine, or spend more time outside, or even watching an hour less of T.V. per week. Whatever it is, take a chance on it. The point in this is that you are investing in yourself and your wellbeing. You are showing yourself you are capable of being stronger than your excuses. Start your year by making yourself a priority.
This new year is yours to make of it what you will. You deserve to do what makes you feel good - mentally, spiritually, physically. How will you take a chance on yourself in 2020?
