1) Release the guilt!
What guilt?? The self-imposed kind I put on myself for mistakes or failures that are completely human!! Like what?? Yelling at the kids (I know I should always remain calm and in control)... Ya right! LOL! So in 2010 I am giving myself permission to choose to release my guilt for not being who I think I should be and accept who I am!
2) Play with my children more!
At the end of most days I realize that although I have consistently interacted with my children, I have not actually played with them! In 2010 I will sit down and play with them. Those are the things I remember most... not what kind of dinner we had, how clean the house was, or how many things my Mom volunteered for!
3) 15 minutes a day for myself!
I've noticed everyone around me gets a great chunk of my time everyday except... you guessed it! ME!! In 2010 and beyond this will change... as I continually preach to others, I will now act on myself! I will put myself first and only for at least 15 minutes everyday! This will not only make me a healthier person, but also a better mother, wife, friend, and family member!
