Happy New Year, my fine feathered fucklings! I hope you enjoyed your transition into 2024, whether it took place whilst doing body shots off of a sexy dance partner or already blissfully asleep in your own bed as the clock struck midnight.
Here at NFG HQ, I’ve got all kinds of fun and practical life-changing tips to share with you this month, January being a generally accepted time to “get organized” and all that jazz. It’ll be a hoot!
But before we get to all the self-improvement and breaking of bad habits and setting of new goals, etc., etc., I wanted to open the annum with what I believe to be the biggest, boldest, best tip of all.
I hope you’re ready for this jelly…
Accept yourself before you wreck yourself.
Folks, I literally make my living writing books for people who want to make changes—whether they’re hoping to become more productive, set better boundaries, banish guilt, solve problems, manage anxiety, or whatnot. It does both my heart and my bottom line good if you decide you want me as your guide, and I take my responsibility to my readers seriously. (Not so seriously that I didn’t sprinkle 731 F-bombs into my first book, but still.) And at the end of the day, I believe that my work helps a lot of people.
That said, I don’t want you to run out and buy my books and take my advice just because it’s there.
Nope. I only want you to want me, so to speak, if you really, truly need me. And when it comes to making big changes to your life, behavior, relationships, etc. in 2024, the best thing you can do for yourself might be to realize you don’t need me at all.
It’s true.
So before you declare this your year of grand, sweeping change—and before you spend your time, energy, and money on my or anybody else’s strategies for accomplishing same—may I humbly suggest engaging in a round of something I call “mental redecorating?”
