I spent a lot of time in 2021 taking stock. Reflecting. Assessing the past. Examining to what degree I let other people and events impact my mood. I knew that I wanted to begin 2022 being present, and if I looked in any direction, I wanted it to be forward, not backward.
When I give advice, it comes from my heart. It comes from my experience. It doesn’t matter. It has very little effect on the choices and actions of others. Even when people ask for advice, they usually hear it, heed it, only if it follows the narrative they’ve already created for a situation. I can’t write their lives as if they are characters. I can only write my own.
So I offer the below bits of wisdom knowing they are probably only for me. But I need them. Except for the one from Body Mind & Soul, they were found and published on the social media of a friend who’s moved away to embrace new beginnings in her life. I wish her the best.
I wish you the same.
Peace and love.
2022 is going to be a good year.
It feels that way to me, too. It’s just different this year.

Because holding it in just isn’t physically possible, in either direction, after enough time passes by 😉
