A different version of me in 2026

Hello #hiveghana, you have amazing topics for this week's contest. I might end up writing about the three interesting topics, but let me focus on the first one that interests me most.

2025 wasn't an easy year for me but I learned some deep lessons about life and I have to make necessary changes in 2026, January is almost over and I am still struggling with some changes I want to make I know with time I will get better.

I wasn't kind enough to myself the whole of 2025 because I thought being diligent meant I should kill myself with work, I thought having a time off from work and resting meant laziness but I realized that the body deserves some leisure and fun, yes I always celebrate little wins but I wasn't really doing enough, and that was making it look like am doing too much.

Sometimes last year I was asking myself if I was sick because I was losing energy at some point I later realized that it was my problem, I celebrate wins but the way I beat myself for a little mistake, I will blame myself for a very long time and that will drain my energy.

Me in 2026.

This year I have to be kind to myself by accepting failure and focusing on what I have done better, I will not expect productivity to cost me my happiness.

Every week I will make out time to rest not minding how much I would miss that day

Honestly, there are some mistakes I made two years that I didn't forgive myself until December 2025, and that has made it very difficult for me to heal and move on especially when it comes to relationships, this 2026 I have decided to put those mistakes behind, get healed and find love once again, I deserve love and Care I can't continue suffering myself because of my past mistakes.

Thirdly I have decided to stop comparing myself to others, last year I always come home and start wondering why a friend is better than me, maybe there is something am not doing well and that would rob me of my joy and it made me gradually look at the for value in myself, so this year I have to see my uniqueness and be proud of myself.

Conclusively I believe so much in myself and I want to achieve genuine happiness no matter how bad things turned out, I will work so hard not to be that negative person who will always criticize herself for mistakes for a very long time while celebrating my wins for just a few hours, every minute of my life counts for joy.
I know it won't be easy but with time I will be kinder to myself and make things easier for myself.

Thank you everyone for stopping by.
