Remember when we came into the New Year of 2017, those moments of pure exhalation and excitement of the New Year? Do you recall when we set out to create all of these New Years Resolutions of how we wanted to plan and tackle the New Year?

Don’t tell me that you’ve forgotten? Have you really not been doing what you said you wanted to do? Why do we make resolutions that will set us up to fail. First off, that’s why I don’t call New Year Resolutions, resolutions because of that exact reason. Recall my article from earlier this year, https://www.theodysseyonline.com/how-to-beat-the-stubborn-new-resolutions-of-2017

Well, what are your commitments to yourself? How are you treating yourself? How are you growing from your previous experiences? How have you been holding yourself accountable? If you haven’t been, what are you doing to start holding yourself accountable?

How are you going to quit that soda drinking? Maybe use La Croix or start loving kombucha? What about how much you’ve been eating out? Well, maybe start meal prepping on a Sunday after church.

Your goals are yours. Your life is yours. How are you trying to become your best self? Stop letting your excuses rule your life. Start living your best self and challenge yourself daily. As my wise sister once told me, “I do one thing a day that scares me and that can be something as big or as small as I want as long as its something that scares me.”

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
