You are exactly where you need to be right now.
I would like to take credit for that saying, but I can’t. I heard it this morning during Yoga with Sarah Beth. But it was exactly what I needed to hear.
Last week, we turned the page to another year. And with the new year comes the flurry of new (old) goals. THIS is the year that I’m going to… (fill in the blank). I want to beat myself up for everything I’ve failed to accomplish since last year. It’s easy for us to criticize and expect better from ourselves.
I don’t want to be an overweight, middle-aged woman, but yet, here I am. So, what have I learned?
First, no matter how hard I try, I will not get younger. I can change my clothes, make-up, hair, etc. but there is only one way for my age to go. That led me to my second realization – I need to take better care of myself. Because I certainly have not.
So, I may be exactly where I need to be right now. That doesn’t mean I need to stay here.
