Based on some choices I've made lately, I really started to question my decision making process. As the year ends, there is a lot for me to reflect on - successes and failures.
While thinking about 2014 and what I hope the next year to be like, I happened across this article:
Mentally Strong People: The 13 Things They Avoid
I spend a lot of time on my physical health but don't often think of my mental health and whether I exercise practices that make me mentally strong.
In reading this list, I immediately identified the things I absolutely don't do ( #7 dwell on the past, #9 resent other people's success, #11 fear alone time, #12 feel the world owes them anything, #13 expect immediate results);
the things I sometimes do ( #1 waste time feeling sorry for themselves, #2 give away their power, #3 shy away from change, #4 waste energy on things they can't control);
and things I have a bad habit of doing (#5 worry about pleasing others, #6 fear taking calculated risks, #10 give up after failure)
So my resolution this year is to commit as much time to being mentally strong as I do to taking care of my physical body. For 2014 I'm focusing on overall health rather than just cutting back on drinking or carbs.
Here's wishing you all luck with your mental and physical health in the coming year. (I suggest you read the full article - very interesting)
