Some things never change

 

It may be a new year but some things never change: my morning cup of coffee, pen to paper, sitting in sunlight. 

But some things do change: my perspective, my outlook, the world in which we live. 

I need more quiet in my life. More time to create. More time to figure out who I am in this season of life.

In order to have that time I need to let go of somethings, time sucking things: mindless scrolling, over thinking, dwelling on past failures and disappointments. 

My health, both mental and physical, my creativity, my joie de vivre, all depend on me making changes in how I live each day and how I view my worth.   Each and every day I need to intentionally choose what I allow myself to do and think. I need to practice gratitude. I need to seek out joy. I need to create something, anything. I need to remind myself that I am enough and I am worthwhile.

I know these changes won't happen overnight or by sheer will alone but by daily practice and persistence. 

And then maybe some things will change.
