What if I already broke my commitments for the New Year?

With 100% certainty, I know that there are people who broke their New Year’s resolutions already this year. Day 2 and done. Oh well, maybe next year.

I know because I have been one of those folks.

It was perfection or nothing.

“I already blew it. I’ll start next year, or next month, or next week, later, tomorrow.” A constant cycle of breaking integrity with myself, justifying and waiting for a fresh start.

Yesterday, I had one of the worst headaches of my life out of nowhere. Perhaps a somatic reminder of when I used to drink and be hung over all day New Years. My New Year’s Day plans went out the window.

Instead of waiting until next year and letting my perfectionist derail everything, I just let it go. This is a journey, I’m not perfect and today is a new day.
