Every year at this time people all over the world start making New Year’s resolutions. Maybe you have a list of your own. Not me.
My history with resolutions for the new year reads like a point by point outline of my personal failures so several years ago I gave them up completely. But something happened in 2016 that has inspired me to take a new approach to this whole resolution idea. Let me explain.
A few months ago I saw a viral video which encouraged me to “Love your body the way your mother loved your baby feet.” This message struck me because at the time, I was staring at this:
Do you see those beautiful feet? They belong to my very first grandchild. Oh how I love these pink, soft, baby feet. I want to kiss them, squeeze them, and frankly, chew on them all day long.
These perfect baby feet really got me thinking, and I started considering whether I love myself as much as these baby feet.
Do I love myself anywhere close to as much as I love this baby?

Baby feet make me mushy, too! And you’re so right. Sometimes I have to practice self love like I would practice learning an instrument or a new language. We have to literally change the way our brains think about ourselves and that is essentially learning a new language. I’m with ya!
