Its 2023…. The much expected 2023.. lol, I am laughing cos the noise of 2023 started as the “Ember” months started, it felt like a whistle was blown and everyone wanted to start planning for the coming year. I am glad I got to see the begining of the year with all my family members in love and health, though lost my Mother in love in 2022 but I know for a fact that God had a plan for our lives in 2022 and His agenda was fulfilled.
I woke up this morning and wanted to fall back into my routine of feeling tired and not wanting to get out of bed, then I reminded myself that I promised myself to always think positive, mental health and body positivity so I opened my eyes, said the “Happy New Year” to people on WhatsApp, read a chapter of my book of the month (taking this very seriously) Crushing by TD Jakes and writing my first blog of the year .. ๐
This year I promised myself to totally depend on God, draw strength from his word, smile even when I do not feel like it and stay positive in the midst of unsettling issues, do I know how to do all that? Nope. One thing I know is to go back to Life’s Manual “The Bible” and seek navigation when I find myself getting lost
This year is for intentionality, intentional in what I give my time to, what I hear and what I speak, I want to listen 10 times more than I speak, I want to speak from a place of knowing, knowing who I am, what power I possess and when to keep quiet. I want to be a responsible person, not just in words but in deeds too.
I have no fancy plans of how to conquer the world in 365 days but I want to discipline myself this year, put my body and mind under the subjection of God and the Holy spirit. I want to take care of myself, spirit, soul and body, it might be selfish but I call it self care..
I want to continue to put myself out there, I started last year and I love the growth I see in myself, alot of people do not believe I am introverted and it takes alot to put myself out there, but I did it last year and I would continue to do that.
I want to love people genuinely, and help genuinely but not stupidly, I want to listen, I want to soar….. What are the things you have wished for yourself in 2023? Remember to exhale this year, don’t be caught up in another’s way of thinking….
Let’s start the journey of the next 365 days shall we??๐๐๐๐
