"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

New Year's resolution

Merry Christmas! (Kind of late I know) or better yet Happy Holidays (since I missed Hanukkah and the Winter Solstice). Anyway, its few days before new year's eve and we will be in 2013 in a week! I am not much for new year's resolution because when I used to do them they were the generic "lose weight" ones that I never really kept. (and this was when I was actually thin-smh what was wrong with me I don't know); but I digress.
I want to do goals, attainable new year's resolutions because I am good at meeting my goals (to the point of tunnel vision but that's another story). So, with that in mind here is what I have come up with (I may add and/or delete before next Monday) but here's what I have so far and why:

1. Practice self-compassion ( I have to stop being so hard on myself and less depreciating. This will be the most difficult goal but I cannot continue with the way I am right now. I do not want my son growing up thinking its ok to beat oneself up.)
2. Don't scream at my husband (I suck at communicating my feelings so I keep things in and then blow up this actually applies to everyone that I should communicate my feelings more to but I put hubby because the poor guy gets the brunt of it and he's awesome for putting up with it).
3. Be "less humble." I need to be proud of my accomplishments and stop being "embarrassed" by them.

That's all I have for now, and I have to create action plans to so I can start practicing these goals, if anyone has any pointers by all means let me know. Also, let me know, what are your new year's resolutions for 2013?
