New Year; New You.

The New Year has started and you need your resolution to work. A lot of us took vows to be better this year. Ok, let’s cut to the chase most of us have done this every year. Many of us saw “more of ourselves” but not a “better self”. We didn’t know how to maintain what we desired. Resolutions to be better can be aimed at the emotional, physical or spiritual self (or any combo if you are really stepping it up). This week I am asking you to take 10min each day to be alone (or more if you can). Yup…take a walk, lie on the ground, write a journal, meditate, stare into space. Hell, lock yourself in a closet and sleep if that’s what you need to be your best. Maybe turn off your phone ringer and set it to alarm only so your kids don’t report you missing. (Disclaimer***If you choose the closet route while at work, you are on your own). During those 10minutes focus on what is really important right now. Remember, just as you can't clean out a closet, your car or other things in just 10 minutes start small and tackle one issue each day. Imagine the possibilities if you had no limits. Sort out what is possible and what is out of your control. Put all your garbage in the great plastic grocery sack in your head and throw it out. Not that I am condoning enlarging your mental carbon footprints (this could be a thing lol) but free your mind to really focus on what is important. Clearer visions are easier to focus on. Whatever your better you is this year; you can’t commit to new things when the old crap is pulling you back into the same old hole you are trying to crawl away from. After a week…what do you see? What is possible? Copyright 2016 Micheline Edwards
