We are approaching the end of the year! Yes, we made it through another year! Love it! And love that we’re covering so much content in these newsletters together.<\/p>\n

So, if you don\u2019t already know how I feel about resolutions (ya know the things where you say you’re going to do all these new things in your life and then maybe you will do them or maybe you won\u2019t) instead, I like to reflect back on what has worked this past year and how I can improve on it for next year.<\/p>\n

Resolve to not have Resolutions<\/h2>\n

Work<\/h3>\n

Makes sense that I put this first right? Would you put this first? Seems to me that work is the easiest place in our lives to notice how well we are doing. Did you get that promotion or that bonus you were looking for? Are you where you want to be in your career? Think about all that you have done with work this year and let\u2019s remember how great we are!<\/p>\n

Relationship<\/h3>\n

I have to admit that I was going to put family next, but I changed my mind. I talk about relationships a lot and it\u2019s pretty much where I focus most of my energy since it\u2019s my work as well.<\/p>\n

How\u2019s your relationship going? Are you fighting less or more? Dating or ignoring each other? Take a minute and realize that if you look at it over the whole year, it might look different than just day to day!<\/p>\n

Family<\/h3>\n

I think we can lump kids, parents, pets, etc into this category because they all take up equal amounts of my time. This past year, my parents and pets took up more time than my children so I\u2019m looking forward to making them more of a priority next year. Who did you focus on this year? Was it worth it to you? Do you feel as if you have an energy left for yourself? Remember, 50% of your energy goes to you, 50% goes to everyone else. Raise your hand if you spend more than 50% on everyone else? Yes, let\u2019s work to change that number up even if it\u2019s just 1%.<\/p>\n

Me time<\/h3>\n

Lastly and most importantly, is the me category. I put this last because for the most part that’s where we put ourselves and we need to have enough energy to be kind to ourselves. Let\u2019s try to move this category up a few notches next year. We are working on ourselves now and for the future. What do you want to change? I want to learn how to self reflect and understand how I\u201dm feeling when someone gets me upset. I\u2019m going to start to work on it today!<\/p>\n

Yes, the moral is that we don’t need lists, goals or resolutions to help us move forward with our lives. We need ourselves mostly and to stay connected to the ones around us.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to work on myself and find the areas that need to be changed, stay the same or let go.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to hear what you are working on. Please reach out <\/a>jennifer@facetofacetherapy.com and let me know how you are doing.<\/p>\n

I\u201dm going to reflect and think about what I want to bring to you for the new year. If you have any topics that you are interested in, please let me know!!<\/p>\n

Cheers for now and let\u2019s move forward!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
