April 2022

I hope this makes you smile.

Look at her face. Cute right? Her name is…. and (she/ he)_ has forever changed my life.

(Insert name) makes everyday fun, playful, and on the hardest days…(she/he/ name of pet) has given me something to care for and nurture beyond —-( myself / partner and I /my children who have now left home)

I—–(waited a year to find a poodle mix / found her roaming the street/ describe how you found your pet).

Life has never been the same.

Look, I know she/he is not on the Internet (insert emoji) but friends can you wish my BFF a happy (doggy / cat/ pet ) day!!!

Things that used to make me happy: (travel/being on the go all the time /busy with work/ a lot of friends/ hustling for the next big thing)

Things that lift my spirits NOW (stillness and rest / enjoying more placid times of work/quality, depth of close friends/letting go of what’s to come

There aren’t many things about this pandemic that I’ve loved but what —–(these things/ changes /shifts) have done for my soul…chef’s kiss.

(What/ Who) have you become?

Resolutions have NEVER been my thing. But it’s April and I know I need to check in with the promises I made to myself

So here are a few things I’ve put into practice since 2022 began. I am…

✔ —(getting better quality sleep/ stopped sleeping so much/ handling my anxiety about COVID in a much better way/ better about my phone at night)

✔ — (planning a vacation/ doing more mini staycations / making sure my home feels tranquil)

✔— (exercising 5 days a week / adding weights to my workout / getting outside more because I am happiest when I’m breathing fresh air)

✔— (visiting my doctor /finally checking up on my eyes/ going for my pap smear).

Since I was not diligently doing my check ups during COVID, this list makes me feel that I’m prioritizing myself again.

These are the resolutions I got behind and I’m glad that they focused almost exclusively on my health.

Have you kept up with your health resolutions? What have you been doing for Y-O-U?

Remember, all the little silent things — (you say to yourself / programme in your mind / have on repeat, eventually they come to life.

——(They imprint on your person/ You start believing what you think / You act out what you believe to be true). They start revealing themselves in your actions.

So when you speak to your heart and mind, make sure the things you say are not causing you to doubt the very things you are truly capable of.
