People often see a new year as a clean start. We make resolutions to become better people and we vow to ourselves that “this year will be better than the last.”
It is healthy to desire change and to set achievable goals for yourself. It is not healthy to constantly wish you were a different person so that you can finally be happy. I believe that a desire to change needs to come out of a place of love for yourself, not self-loathing. So this year, I want to be happy with myself — just the way I am.
