My New Year’s Goal Is To Fall Back In Love With Myself

I’m not waiting until 2025—my journey starts now.

I owe it to myself to begin as soon as I can. I deserve the same love I keep giving to others.

So, my main objective for the upcoming year and beyond is to fall deeply, passionately in love with myself.

How will I achieve this? Well, I have a game plan:

I’m letting go of past negativity and starting fresh. Each time I have a negative thought, I’ll replace it with a positive one.

I won’t let any single negative thought linger for more than a split second. If it stays, it will grow and poison my life.

I’ll release all the pain from my past and carry only the lessons forward. I can’t change what happened.

I can’t influence the outcome, and dwelling on it only brings sadness.

I’m going to love the person I see in the mirror.

No more wishing to be thinner or heavier. No more complaints about my lips or nose.

I won’t judge my reflection anymore. I’m so much more than how I look.

I’m beautiful inside and out, and I don’t need to look like a photoshopped model on a magazine cover.

Even they have their own insecurities, despite seeming perfect. That’s why I’m choosing to change my mindset.

I’m embracing my flaws and loving them. They make me who I am. They make me unique.

I know there will be ups and downs on this path to self-love.

I know a life without worries, insecurities, and problems isn’t possible. But I promise myself not to create issues where there are none.

I promise to focus on the 80% goodness in my life and my relationships with others, instead of the 20% that drags me down.

I promise to pick myself up every time I stumble. I’ll keep trying and always move forward. Goodbye to toxicity.

I know I won’t reach my goal if I let toxic people poison me with their insecurities. I won’t succeed if they tell me I can’t.

I won’t have enough strength if they sap mine. People who don’t support me don’t deserve a place in my life.

It’s that simple, and I don’t know why it took me so long to realize this.

Those who support me, believe in me, and have my back always deserve my undivided attention. I won’t waste my energy on others.

Not anymore. I’m going to be my own champion. I won’t wait for love to rescue me. I’m rescuing myself.

I’ll stand up for myself and won’t be silent while people walk all over me. I’ll speak up when I’m not treated right.

I’ll step away when the situation doesn’t suit me. I won’t keep quiet for the sake of the greater good if it hurts me.

I’m going to read more. I can’t remember the last time I read a book.

But I know once I start, I’ll lose myself in other worlds. It will be my time to unplug and leave my phone silent for a change.

I’ll explore all genres but start with something uplifting and inspiring. I’ll fill my mind with positive thoughts.

I’ll treat myself from time to time. I’ll work hard at my job, visit the gym more often, and eat healthier.

I must—it’s not an option.

But there will be days when I do absolutely nothing.

I’ll relax in front of the TV. I’ll watch movies all day. I’ll call friends and go out for dinner. I’ll spend a day at the spa.

I’ll find balance because too much work and no play will burn me out, and I don’t want that. I’ll say “No!” more often.

There’s a freedom in saying “No!” to things I really don’t want to do. I used to do so many things to avoid upsetting others.

But you know what?

We have just one life, and I won’t waste it doing things I don’t enjoy just to please others.

Enough is enough. I’ll have more fun. I’m ready for more adventures. More rest. More dancing. More laughter. More creativity. More love.

I know it’s up to me to make it happen. So, I’m prepared. No excuses for lack of fun.

Even if no one wants to go on a trip with me, I’ll go solo. It’s time I enjoy my own company.

My happiness depends on me. I can change my luck if I decide to act.

If I’m determined to reach my self-love goal. I’m in charge of my feelings.

I’m whole on my own, and I don’t need anyone to make me happy. I’ve learned it’s better to be alone than in a bad relationship.

Still, I believe in love and hope to find someone to share my happiness with. Someone besides my friends and family to join me on this journey.

In the meantime, I’ll keep reminding myself of my worth. I’ll focus on making my life better. I’ll believe in myself.

I’ll fall back in love with my life all over again.
