New Year, New You?  This sounds confusing and frustrating for most of us.  What does that even mean?  Do we really want a new “me”?  What would that look like?  So many of us make these types of resolutions or ones similar that involve changing who we are.  I don’t know about you, but maybe I am actually okay the way I am.  Yes, of course there are things that I wish I could do differently; but overall I’m not sure I’m such a bad person that needs to be changed.  Sometimes it’s not about changing who we are, but accepting ourselves for who we are.  Accepting our true selves, as we are, can immensely improve our lives.  When our focus is no longer about changing ourselves and instead is about accepting ourselves, it provides us with the opportunity to really focus on the things that matter.  These may include focusing on our relationships, nurturing ourselves, and enjoying who we are.  I encourage you to think about what it would look like for you if this year you were able to focus on accepting, nurturing, and enjoying your true self without trying to change yourself.
