Resolutions? Nope. Not something I do... They tend to be lofty ideals that are set ups for failure. Sabotage. Instead, I like to do a closing ceremony for last year. Look at all that was beautiful as well as what sucked a giant bag of donkey balls! It helps me reflect, see where I’m on the path I want to be - what was completely outside of my control, and where I can make improvements. Then, I like to visualize the year ahead. Close my eyes and feel how it would feel if I could have my best year. How would my body feel? What emotions would be the basis for the year? THAT is my start. After that, I think about goals, adventures, books I want to read, and try to set tangible ways to get my intentions in line with how I want my body to feel. This is is my plan for 2019 Rituals. Daily Focus. Just one small thing per day. Smiling Saturday
The daily practice does not have to be one of the bullets. There are hundreds of ways to do each of the basic intentional and underlying motivations. The bullets are only suggestions for the days I am stuck. Because let's face it. Stuck happens! I want to live in a body that feels good, light, flexible and resilient, which means it cannot be fixed on shame, self-loathing, amygdala hijack, or other negativity breeding states. One. Just ONE intentional thought per day. That is all I am asking of myself this year.
