Here we are mid-January and it feels like the proverbial gun has sounded and we are off on the 2019 marathon. By now you may know I hateeee a resolution, but I really do love the reset that a New Year brings. To make sure you aren’t bringing any bad #vibez into 2019, I’m challenging you to stop doing these four things to get your mojo going. Warning – they are random, but also are very true. Are you ready?
4 Things to Stop Doing in 2019
Holding off on that thing that makes you happy
What’s that quote? “Excuses are like assholes, everyone has them.” Crass, but true! We all are super limited on time, but explore that thing that makes you happy. It can be anything from learning a new language or traveling to a place on your bucket list. Last year, my thing was launching this blog as I needed to fill a creative void in my life and as a result, it’s changed and fulfilled me on a whole other level.
Being Dehydrated
I warned you this was random! I spent most of 2018 parched until I kept stumbling upon Liquid IV while listening to my favorite podcasters TSC Podcast and The Bitch Bible. Skeptically, I tried it. Their claim is that 1 pack = 2-3 bottles of water. I found I only needed 1/2 a pack in a big Smart Water bottle and would end up drinking two of those throughout the day aka 60 + fl ounces x 6 {maybe my math is wrong here but you feel me}. Here’s what I know – I’m not going 9 hours without peeing {that’s a plus} and my skin is dewey AF. Just try it.
Postpartum Harshness
The level of pressure that we as women and mothers put on ourselves to snap back is tremendous. You’d think that other Moms would also understand this, but they are often the worst culprits of body shaming. Can we just cut each other and ourselves a little bit of a break. Keep the side commentary to a minimum on others? Preciatecha.
Keeping negative people around
When I was sending out holiday cards this year, I was looking at our list and realized there were a few people on there that literally have tried 0% to see how we are doing. You know the kind that stalk you on IG stories, but never say hello or send you a text? 2019 is the year I’m shedding those people and only focusing on those relationships that organically and authentically invest in me. I’m imploring you to do the same.
