…I tasked myself with writing my own manifesto. I very rarely sit to reflect on me. Just me.
I want to do less of…
What doesn’t add value to my life. I promise I will practice this more and be honest with myself about what I really want to do.
I want to do more of…
What makes my body feel good. My health is important to me and I need to give myself more time to do the activities I want to do.
I cherish…
The friends and family that I can share my deepest, darkest and brightest feelings with. These people make me feel inspired and loved, and very very lucky.
I promise…
To give myself the pep talk I need when I’m feeling I’m not stacking up, because what I actually know, is that I am awesome at my job, at the projects I take up, being a mum and a partner. I need to worry a lot less. I promise to continue living gratefully and give where I can and find nourishment when I need it. If I’m not understood, that’s OK, because at least I know myself.
Take a few minutes today and experiment with your own manifesto!
