2017 is round the corner, literally. Typically we start thinking of all the things we didn’t achieve during the past year and set about writing our new years resolutions…
But rather than writing a list of things ‘to do’ which only makes you feel pretty bad about yourself when you don’t… Before you start on your New Years resolution think about this…
You’re here on this planet at this moment to be you. Not to be a super hero or some lofty ideal… Only you see the world the way you see it, only you can do things the way you do them. So it stands to reason that what is in your heart is there for a reason – because it is a statement about who you are. A New Years resolution should add good stuff to your life, not just another thing to achieve…
Why not follow that lead this year? Take some time to think about how you want to feel during next year. Do you want to feel stressed out and ego driven, or do you want to feel joyful, happy and maybe a little excited because you’re doing something just because you want to.
Take all the ‘shoulds’ OFF your list (if you still insist on writing one) and fill it with fun, laughter and things that make you feel good.
You aren’t here to struggle against your own desires, to do things you don’t want to do because if you are you are doing it wrong. As soon as you start to follow your heart you will have more success that you have ever had before… and as an added bonus it will be FUN.
You also don't need
permission to do your thing, your way!
We’re here on a journey – whenever we think we’ve reached the destination there is always something else we want and off we go again. Its part of being human. We will never reach our final destination because there is always ‘the next thing’. So best you learn to enjoy the journey because really – that is what life is. Live in the now, not in the future. Make your New Years resolution to follow your heart and I’ll bet you’ll find 2017 will be your best year yet!
And another thing… get outside your comfort zone and really live your life in 2017. Because only you can live your life…. nobody else can.
What mistakes could you possibly make that could make you feel worse than getting to the end of the year and knowing you didn’t even try?
It’s 2017 – it’s time to let go and start living your life. Make your New Years resolution to celebrate who you are and inspire your children (if you have them), friends and family to do the same. Imagine the difference you can make to the world just by being yourself and giving others permission to do the same.
Life is an awesome adventure… if you just let it be
