Mindful

I am not much of a resolution person, I think it is too much pressure for one day. Life goals should be flexible. They should be something you visit regularly. If you pledge all of your changes for the start of the year, you mess up in three days and give up. You need to fail to learn, mistakes are human, you can start over. New year, new start, of course you can. If you don’t that also is okay, there is the next day. Go easy on yourself, goals should be ongoing. Hubby and I used to have mini meetings with each other deciding the 5 year plan. Naming some of the things that we were aiming for in the future. We didn’t write them down, sometimes we would make fun of the naive plans we had made. Days come and go, don’t stress.

New Years should be a celebration of surviving another year, and praying you make it through another! One thing you learn pretty quick, things can happen that change everything. The eggs should not all be in the same basket, spread them around, like an Easter egg hunt. Forward moton, love with your whole heart, every day! Celebrate the people in your life, enjoy every scrap of happiness you can find. Yes, you should look for the things that give you warm and fuzzy feelings. What is precious to you? Focus on that, forget the rest! Accept what is, trust that things will come that you need. You can slow this pace down, be patient, laid back, calm.

I am a planner, organizer, I can be pretty rigid and stubborn…I have learned that about myself. Maybe go into the New Year learning about your self. It is a lot easier letting go of negative ideas and thoughts when you know more about where they came from. Then take some time, to like yourself, all the flaws, I assure you there is more to you then that! Whatever you decide is your choice, no judgement. Life really is what you make it.
