Permission to Be Lovingly Indifferent

Welcome 2025!  I hope you had a great holiday season with friends and family.  I did.  Just before Christmas, I traveled to Spain to help my daughter pack up her apartment and what I experience was so much magic.  It was like being in a Hallmark movie and then I made it back home.

I have been reflecting on my events of 2024 and realized that I had an opportunity.   I absolutely love my family and sometimes I think I know what is best for them.  Frequently they don’t agree with me and go about their way, which would many times upset me, other times make me anxious, and even cause heart ache.

After a great conversation with a friend, I realized that perhaps I was a bit controlling!  I understood that I don’t have control over what other people think or do. I only have control about what I think or do. So, one of my intentions for 2025 is to be lovingly indifferent.

I want to invite you to define your intentions for 2025 and perhaps consider being lovingly indifferent.  It is so freeing!

Takeaways:

• We don’t have control about what other people think or do, we only have control about what we think or do, so why spend energy on things we can’t control?  
• Our intentions for 2025 are important, they help shape how the year will be.  Make a list of your intentions and consider being loving indifferent!  It will take practice, but it is so freeing!
• Remember to celebrate! Life is like a bicycle ride.  Enjoy the ride at every moment, and when/if you fall, just get up and keep going!
