It is all over the news, newspapers, magazines. Here is the perfect recipe for a fabulous you in 2016...
I always find myself in a quandary about what it is I want this new year to bring. It is a nice way to forget the past and move ahead. Let go of any anger, resentment, jealousy or mistakes that may have tainted 2015. Move forward, step into the future with confidence.
The new year should also be a time of Celebration...celebrating the success of the past year. No matter how small they may be. Make a list of 5 things you are proud of from this past year. YES, you can do it. GO AHEAD, do it now! Then put it in a box for opening later this year...
I have a few intentions for this year, 3 to be exact. Not too many, not to few...
1. To be more Mindful. I have developed a 5 minute morning "mindfulness" routine to ground me and start my day.
2. To Trust my GUT feelings on hard decisions. Over the years I have found that if I listen to and trust my gut (even when my head COMPLETELY DISAGREES) things usually work out. I tend to rationalize everything, argue in my head, to the point of completely talking myself into or out of something. Yet my Gut, always has the right answer, if I can quiet myself down enough to listen(thus number 1...mindfulness)
3. What is in a WALK. On January 1, I will embark on 90 days of walking. Every day I will journal about my walk. The walk might be 5 minutes, it might be 2 hours. It is not about the time or the exercise. It is about finding myself in the moments of the walk. Feeling every footstep and noticing every thought.
These intentions feel good in my GUT. I am looking forward to leaping into the next year with less Have To's, and more Want To's.
Do you have any intentions for this next year in your life?
