Taking Care of Myself in 2014


While driving out of town yesterday to drop Brandon's Dad off at his car, I came across this blog post. Brandon was driving and having a conversation in the front seat with his Dad, so I didn't interrupt him to tell him about my resolution plans for 2014. I made a mental list of things I wanted to improve on and after reading that post, I was even more inclined to take better care of myself first and actually stay on top of my New Year's resolutions!

In that past, by the time February comes around I lose all sight and forget resolutions even exist! And poof, they're gone just like that. I want 2014 to different. I want 2014 to be the year of change for myself and my husband. I know that if I take care of myself first I'll be better prepared to take care of him.

I hate that I come home, and I'm worn out and exhausted all all I want to do is sit on the couch and do nothing. Not even cook a decent dinner for us. That's got to change. Starting now, well actually last night. I cooked a really simple, and somewhat healthy meal for us, bacon-wrapped-chicken breasts and steamed vegetables. Bacon really does make everything taste better!

Back to where I was… I'm going to hold myself accountable to the changes I'm trying to make over here.  I'm learning that NOT taking care of myself is really the most selfish thing I can do. I pray that I take care of myself first, so I can take better care of the people around me. Kind of like the whole idea of putting your oxygen mask on first. And I pray that I don't get bogged down with worry and guilt for wanting to take care of myself.

What are some of your New Year's resolutions? Spill.

  2. This is great! Try not to feel bad for wanting to take care of yourself! I don't really have any resolutions, but I'm trying to make 2014 the best year ever heath wise and to finally reach my goals.
