Every year I make resolutions for the new year and I am proud to say that I keep over 90% of them. Today, I thought I would share my resolutions that are related to my life with a chronic illness. I’m sure many of you have similar goals in mind; for me, putting them to paper solidifies them. Every day I achieve them – SUCCESS! And some days, I need to rely on the joy from those successes quite a bit. Other days, it’s just another feather in my cap.
So here goes!
I hope that some of these resolutions resonate with you – most importantly, I hope you keep #10 in mind. It’s so easy to get caught up in the pain and exhaustion and forget that underneath it all we are still who we were all long.
2021 is the year to be good to you in every way. Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire!

I don’t have a chronic illness, but know many people who do. I love your resolutions, as they show you have courage to get through each day no matter what, and not let it control your life! Remember you are a great warrior yourself. God bless! ??
Thank you Denise – such kind words! Happy holidays!
What great resolutions! I especially love number 7, it’s something we don’t do enough, but every day should be celebrated!xx

I agree – we all could use a bit more celebrating in our lives!
2020 has been a bit of a shocker, I’m just hoping that I can be reunited with my girlfriend again, as we have an amazing year ahead of us.
Wishing you and your girlfriend the very best!!
I love everything on this list. So many people make unrealistic resolutions instead of choosing to make a commitment to daily changes that will improve their lives. Thanks for the reminder!!!

Very useful for people in need. I will share with some of my friends so that they can pass it along.

These are some great New Year’s resolutions! I particularly love number 2 and 4 – self-care and simply taking some time to relax is so important!
