THE BEST OF 2017

Wrapping up the year, whoot woot!

The other day I was reading on my personality type according to the 16-personalities test and I got this in the email about how I respond to criticism, and found it to be extremely accurate me:

Consuls are sensitive and warm people, and they are careful not to offend others or disrupt the status quo. This sensitivity, however, can lead to challenges.

They can become defensive when receiving criticism, especially from loved ones.

They don’t offer criticism lightly and expect the favor in return.

They fear that criticism means that they are incompetent.

They may take even constructive criticism as a personal attack.

It isn’t bad to be sensitive. If anything, the world could use more people who would rather give praise than criticism.

Yup, yup, and yup.

Here are my resolutions from 2017.

BEST POSTS OF 2017:

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

DISCOVERED & LOVED:

The Cable Girls
Stranger Things 2
New friends I made throughout the year
The Life Coach School Podcast
Going to the gym (here’s return what inspired me to return after a very long hiatus)

THINGS I’VE LEARNED:

You may have made shitty decision but that doesn’t make you a shitty person.
Say yes more often, even though you’re scared.
Loneliness.
Reverse exercising.
To enjoy the journey.
Nothing is a waste a time–the very fact that you and I are alive means that every second we’re alive is well-spent, it’s already precious. You do not have to be action-oriented for time to be considered “well-spent.”
Thoughts do not equate to moods. Unless you allow them to. It’s your attitude towards those thoughts that dictate your mood.

There are so many random things on my mind right now that I don’t know where to begin. First, I was going through my photos on my laptop and realized just how many photos I’ve never posted; they were too precious to delete permanently from this world but taking up too much space! So here we go with the photo dump of 2017: 😀
