My new years resolution is the same goal I've had since summer time.

To find happiness, to love myself a lot more. To feel peace. Not letting others bring me down. Not feeding into family drama. Keep myself away from any dark clouds. All that matters is I am doing what I want out of my life and no one can take that away from me. I've grown a thick skin as I got into my 30s. Its a key step into beating mental illness.

Instead of dwelling on my traumas I've learned to embrace the strength. Ive hit rock bottom many times but I always find a way to rise above. I give my self fresh starts. Even if I break my resolution I can always start a new day of living better.

There too much hype around January 1st. Everyday is a reason to break bad habits and everyday is a reason to celebrate!

Also, take life one day at a time. Anxiety is exhausting and its easy to fear for future. But live your life for today. I love that saying... Its not about how fast we get to the top its the journey that matters. Or something along the lines of that! Lol

Happy Holidays Kevin160!

Wait until you hit your 50s. You’ll love it. No one even bothers to say anything. You’ll have a ‘look’ in your eyes. It’s so fun!

Lol. Im just embracing all I have. Life has passed me by and I spent too long worrying about everyone and everything. I vowed to myself to put myself first and be my own priority. It has been an adjustment because my "mothering nature" wants to come out & it gets me in trouble... lol.

Congrats on all youre doing Neuronerd!

Best of luck to you!

I never set goals about my health. I take it as it comes. But.....my next Masters degree will be done and I’m already working on my PhD so that keeps me going.
