Resolutions Smesolutions
One thing I have learned over the year is not to make an impossible list of resolutions that are just unreasonable to
accomplish. I have always been a "list" maker & "goal" setter & from my days of being in management my goals are
always reviewed, reasonable/achievable, time orientated & relevant to my internal desires.
I no longer make an additional list of things to do, or to accomplish just to ring in the New Year. I guess I feel that
since taking on a more intimate role with my spirit energy & understanding the Universal Laws, I feel that
each day is a new day to a new year & a new me. In each meditation I ask for guidance to become more loving, expressive,
creative, open, and so on. I send prayers for family & friends & people whom I may not know, but know they are having
struggle.
In each day, there are opportunities to start over. To begin again & do over. You do not have to wait for the New Year, or your next birthday or the next day off or the next free minute to change & become more connected. Life happens in every moment - why wait to make it your best life. For me, being open or vulnerable to others love has always been a big step to my own evolution. I have always lacked trust in others, and have always been the one others would go to because they thought I was the strong one. "Never let 'em see you sweat!" "Prove your abilities - fight for the right" and so on. I am a tough cookie, but I knew I was missing a lot of love in my life. Even though there are family and friends who I love & who love me, but there is usually a wall that people have to jump over to get in. That is not how I wanted to live out my life. So a year ago, when my spiritual journey began, so did the recognition of my deepest & truest facets of myself that I wanted to evolve. Becoming connected with a higher energy, and become connected with my inner spirit really helped me become vulnerable & open. I no longer have anything to prove to anyone, especially myself. I allow people to be who they are while I allow me to be everything I want to be in each moment. When I have a down moment, or a moment that I know I could have been more loving, or more open, I recognize it, do a self-check, & move on and know that I will grab the next opportunity.
You see, you don't have to be perfect at everything, or make a list to become more perfect. Take self evaluations to become more you! More loving, more giving, more able to be more you! With life as busy & crazy as it gets, you don;t need more lists to be more things to more people. It is not about the 'getting' or the 'doing' it is about the 'being!'
"BEING" is something you sometimes cannot tick off on a list as 'done.' It is changing prior behaviours to new better ones. This takes time, takes practice, take patience. Be easy on yourself - behaviours donot change overnight. When you do step out of that old behaviour & into a better one, you will feel such freedom & grace for yourself. Pride in knowing that you have become closer to your authentic you, you have become connected to spirit.
So, when people ask you "What's your New Years resolution?" What will you say?
My blessings & best to you in this wonderful day to see the best of what is, and the best you can make this next minute! Be your best today!
