Happy New 365
Yes! It's a new year, and you get to start off at Day 1. But what if you went the other way and started at 365?
Writers take you on a journey page by page, chapter by chapter. They capture your attention with characters, scenarios and plot twists. Their stories tug at your heart, play with your emotions and change your perspectives line by line. In every story that is told, there’s one thing all writers have in common. They knew the ending before one word was written. The ending is what inspired the writing.
As we are heading into the New Year it's an age-old tradition to set New Year's resolutions. Mostly it's about changing the habits that we have been indulging in. The challenge comes not so much with the resolution but the planning needed to be successful. We go through the holidays and set a New Year's resolution that is supposed to just magically happen, only to find ourselves 1-3 weeks in, discouraged and giving up.
The action is not as important as the mindset.
What you want in the end must be present in the beginning.
If you show the mind what you want it to see over and over again, you will have a new mindset. No matter what you're working with, you're going to have to outsmart the mind that got you to where you don’t want to be anymore. With that new mindset comes real, lasting change.
With this new year I encourage you to take a different approach.
Try Being before Doing.
Anything forced will be a limited version of what it's supposed to be.
Before you jump into action for the new year,
REST!!
Let your body and mind rest. Let the past year dissolve. Just Be. You’ve got 365 days to get done what wants you to get done. During this rest period, what you want wants you, and planning is the key.
- Allow the desires of your heart to come to you.
- Write down your desired outcome. Why do you want what you want?
- Write down what you're going to have to change to reach the desired outcome.
- Support yourself…. Write down encouraging statements that support your desired outcome.
- Be gentle with yourself.
- Let go ….of how anything is supposed to happen….leave room for magic.
You already know the ending. Rest, relax, plan, allow & Be what you want!
Love and Wisdom
