New Year New Me – Sort of

So it is the last day of 2017. I am not one normally for new years resolutions but after the last month or so  I’m setting one this time. I hate the saying new year, new me but 2018 I am adopting it – sort of.

Over the past couple of months, I have been really struggling and it has to change. Mostly it is changes I need to make in myself, to stop setting so high expectations. I have 2 children, work full time, blog ( or try to) , make craft items and provide some tech support for some friends, yet I over analyse so much in my life.

Am I doing enough for my kids and husband? Have I got the right work life balance? How am I doing at work? Am I giving enough support to my friends? All these questions turn in my mind often and lately I have been focusing on the negative and overlooking the positive. This isn’t like me, I always look for silver lining or the positive side of things but have been struggling.

So to see the new year in, I am going to set a resolution to give myself a break. It isn’t going to be easy and it will take time but I am going to give it a chance to accept I am doing a good job. I need to give myself a break.

So here is to 2018, which will no doubt, be filled with love, laughter, dreams, unexpected happenings and challenges.
