Non-Negotiables To Set For Yourself This Year: 👊👊🏿 1. No longer will I settle for being half-loved. No more ‘almost-relationships,’ ‘things,’ or temporary connections. Instead of falling into people who disregard your feelings, leave you hanging, ignore your texts, or cancel plans with you, put your energy and heart into those who are truly invested. 2. No longer will I stay in a relationship (platonic or romantic) that makes me feel unworthy. You are too beautiful, too special, too unique, and too valued to be with someone who does not see these traits in you. Life is fleeting—don’t waste time in a relationship that doesn’t inspire you, strengthen you, or make you feel alive. Whether it’s romantic, platonic, a friendship or even family connection, know that you are worth more than abuse, pain, or mistreatment. 3. No longer will I let myself be ruled by everyone else’s voice instead of my own. This year, promise to listen to the sound of your own voice. Do not worry so much about what other people think about you, or their opinion of your decisions and choices. Instead, focus on what you truly feel in your heart, and follow that inner truth wildly. 4. No longer will I feel inadequate or doubt my strength. This year, acknowledge your incredible strength. See all the moments where you found your wings, where you pushed through, where you overcame obstacles you didn’t think you would. Instead of feeling inadequate or living in self-doubt, empower yourself with self-love. 6. No longer will I live in fear of what I can’t control. You are not meant to have it all figured out, to know exactly where you will go or what will happen next, to have all the answers. This year, release your grip on the unknown and celebrate the freedom of letting life happen. 7. No longer will I let my defeat, or mistakes of the past define where I go. This is a New Year, your year. Don’t cling to what was, or what pushed you down. Instead, lift your head, your eyes, your spirit and look forward to what beautiful things will be. ❤️ #nonnegotiables #newyear #marisadonnelly #writersofinstagram #bealight https://www.instagram.com/p/CKAJkmTlIl_/?igshid=skz5lx1g84l2
