Loving myself in the new year.

Most days, I have a hard time loving myself. I do many things that are the opposite of self-love:

• eating or drinking things I know make me feel ill
• eating in secret
• eating emotionally
• eating things I know are emotionally triggering
• not moving my body
• settling for "good enough" too often
• living in fear of what "could be"
• living mindlessly and in distraction
• berating myself constantly
• worry about what I can't control

I want to set myself up for a more positive, loving year. In 2013, I hope to:

• eat mindfully (Mindful Eating Marathon, here I come!)
• move my body more
• be gentle with myself
• sit with and honor my feelings instead of running from them

I am not one for resolutions but I think it's good to plan ahead a bit, especially when it comes to taking good care of myself!
