As we quickly approach the beginning of a new year, some of us may be thinking about resolutions to make.

Most scapegoats are conditioned to look after everyone else’s needs, to accept constant blame in order to maintain family peace, and to push our own needs down until they’re barely visible anymore. So, why not resolve to prioritize ourselves in terms of self-care and self-love? Why not focus on our own future for a change?

Small goals are fine to start. As they pick up momentum, they will grow. Once we learn how to truly care for ourselves, it becomes a way of life. No, it’s not selfish, despite the messaging many of us have received as scapegoats throughout our lives. And looking after ourselves doesn’t mean we are doing anyone a disservice. We can’t pour from an empty cup, right?

So, whether it’s a new year’s resolution or simply resolutions throughout the year, it’s important to prioritize ourselves for self-care and focusing on our goals. We may have grown up in spaces that promoted behaviour that didn’t benefit us, and, in fact, was often harmful to us, but we’re the captains of our ships and we can make decisions that bolster our holistic wellbeing and health. There’s no better time than the present to take steps, even if they’re small ones, towards a better future, peace, and wellness.
