Yesterday was my 34th birthday. One question I usually get asked is do I feel any different. This year I can actually say yes because I feel like I’ve changed so much in a year. When I turned 33 I was determined to change some of who I was for the better. Because if you know me in person then you would know there are definitely some things I needed to work on.
Some of the things that I think I have improved on are things I have been wanting to change for a while now. I am now putting myself first more just a little bit more. In fact yesterday I actually did something to celebrate my birthday. My daughter and I went to see The Blue Man Group. I can’t wait to share my experience. I haven’t actually done anything to celebrate my birthday in years. It felt great to make myself a priority. I usually always find a reason not to but I won’t be doing that anymore. I’ve learned that it’s okay to celebrate myself and that I don’t always have to wait for anyone to do it for me.
I believe I’m a slight more independent. I still have some work to do because I feel like I still depend on my husband a little bit more than I should. I mean it’s okay to lean on him a little bit but I can’t put everything on his shoulders.
I definitely think I’ve gained more confidence. Mainly because I’m getting to the point to where I really don’t care what people think. People are going to have an opinion no matter what you do. So it is really pointless to try to make everyone but yourself and your family happy. Even with family you can’t always make them happy. So all you can do is make the best decisions that you can.
I’ve grown so much in a year and I really can’t wait to grow more. Life is too short to spend time focused on negative things so you have to do what you can to keep things positive. I can’t wait to see what my journey to 35 has in store for me. Happy 34th birthday to me and wishing myself many more.
Have you had a birthday yet? What was the biggest change you’ve noticed in yourself?
