Its that time people. The end of the Holiday season is drawing to a close. And with some trepidation and feet dragging, I am trying to pull myself together and get ready for an exciting and prosperous new year. I was lucky this year. I had a totally drama and stress-free holiday. The entire time. It's been wonderful. I grew up with a ton of holiday drama so to not have to deal with any of that is pure bliss. A total decompression and hangout with my husband. Some yoga, some walking, tons of tea with honey, too many sweets, and lots of lying about watching movies. But slowly and surely after a few good days of zero productivity, cabin fever and sugar toxicity begins to set in.
Now I am cleaning out and getting my house organized. Or at least figuring out what I want to organize. Baby steps. Right? Outlining some desires/goals for the New Year (read NOT a Resolution). Trying to bring some focus to all of the ideas buzzing around in my head.
I hope that you, who is reading this, had a wonderful holiday with low to no stress and that you too are ready for a good new year. My advice to you and myself is to pull yourself up by the bootstraps but do so kindly. Try not to get overwhelmed by all of your ideas and options. Trust that the right things happen when you follow what makes you truly happy and the timing is right. Do not let fear control your actions and reactions.
Do things which make YOU feel good, grounded, relaxed and energized. Say no to the things that don't. Have fun daydreaming but strive for what you want with an air of non-attachment, the Buddhist way.
I have started this new thing of looking at parts of my life like a science experiment. Almost like another person. It's pretty awesome and fascinating. You can really learn a lot about yourself when you let go of your self-limiting judgements. It's not right or wrong, it's data.
So..lets let go of the things that no longer serve us and rise up to meet our best year yet. Happy New Year everyone!
