The new year is a great time to improve yourself. Everyone seems to have resolutions and the gyms are packed. This year I realized that everyone's resolution is basically centered around better "self control" in some way.
Google search definition of self control - The ability to control oneself, in particular one's emotions and desires or the expression of them in one's behavior, especially in difficult situations.
I've been caught up on this phrase all month. The word self control seems very negative to me. Who wants to be controlled? That phase seems to be the opposite of liberating. I've decided to change this phrase into something more motivating. Rather than saying I am working on self control, I'm simply being nice to my future self. Anything that requires self control only makes your future life easier.
I'm working on being the best person that I can be and a simple way to start is by being nice to myself. Not only in the present moment, but also in the future.
I hope you all treat your future self the best you ever have in 2018!!!
Thanks for reading.
