Creating a better me in the new year is a matter of more of some things, less of others.
More this:
- Listening
- Compassion
- Smiling
- Critical thinking
- Speaking up
- Slowing down
- Patience
And less this:
- Judging
- Eye-rolling
- Negativity
- Exasperation
- Anxiety
- Stewing
- Worrying
- Guilt
At this time next year, I’d like to look back and see that I successfully created a balance that incorporates: taking care of myself; being a good sister, daughter, niece, aunt, friend, and citizen; and doing my part to build a better world.
Inspired by Ima on (and off) the Bima , this #BlogElul post is one in a series marking the days of the Hebrew month of Elul, which precede the Jewish High Holidays and traditionally serve as a time of reflection and spiritual preparation for the new year.
