New year resolution

Two days ago I read an article in a female magazine regarding new year resolution. It was from the editor's desk so I just want to know what she thinks. Surprisingly, the article brought a refreshing note. She mentioned about an incident with her 10-year-old who told her mom that she worry about every little things. This got the mom thinking.

Guess what, her new year resolution is reduce fear. Fear of snatch thief, fear of losing ones job, fear for the children and more. It's our everyday fear that makes us sceptical and prevent us from moving forward and enjoy life to the fullest. Her article got me thinking about my fear.

I worry too much. Worry about my career, worry about my health, worry about my diet, my losing weigh that never seem to work, worry about my bf, worry about my friends, worry about my colleagues and staff, worry about my CD whom I might have given too much task, worry about my designer who might not stay long due to his peanut salary, worry about my dogs and more.Besides worry, I fear of snatch thief, fear of people who's take advantages of my kindness, fear for my safety walking home at night, fear of thunderstome and etc.

All this accumulated and it seems to be reducing a big chunk of my life fulfillment. It takes away my joy of living, the joy of trusting, joy of sharing, joy of laughters. With all the fear and worries, life has become a routine, lost its special magic spices and charm. The once a happy-go-lucky gal has gone for a long holiday. Comments were given that I don't laugh as much, I live in my own island, I think too much of others, I stress too much, I'm too serious, I'm not approachable. All these comments and feedback flashes me when I read that article. Indeed I need to change. I need to reduce my fear and worry. I need to live life as to the fullest and be less sceptical. I have to trust my close friends and learn to open up my problems to close friends.

The list is easier to say than done. Nevertheless, I will try my best. If not all, at least 20%? Happy New Year Teddy.
