Weighing Me Down

Identifying My Weights The interesting thing about 2020 is all of the reflective time we had due to being on state mandated lock down, if we took full advantage of the "opportunity" to reflect. I did. I had plenty of time to reflect. December 31 was no different - we couldn't go anywhere to celebrate in the usual New Year's Eve fashion - church for Watch Night Service and then a party for some dancing. Not 2020; nope 2020 was different. My eyes hurt from reading all things news and social media. Read, reflect. Read, reflect. Read some more, reflect - you get the drift. One particular read, reflect cycle led me to an Instagram (IG) Influencer's page, @theshelahmarie, where her challenge was to not make resolutions or goals - but to focus on "after the goal"; to connect to the feeling of accomplishing the resolution/goal. Completely hooked!!! In my reflecting on this new way to create resolutions, I came up with two questions to get me started: What did I want to feel different about and what did I want to feel?
