New Year Intentions


No automatic alt text available.A brand new year.  What is it about the number changing on the calendar that makes one want change themselves, when it is available to do at any time?  At the end of a year, I like to look back and see all the good that happened, I also like to find areas I want to improve upon.

I really did have a good year despite my health problems and lack of enthusiasm for my job.  I was able to travel to a new county, go camping with my family and try new art forms.  I improved my website and listed things to sell and started this blog.  New opportunities showed up throughout the year and I went for them and feel good that I did, even though none of them worked out.  I even finished my unfinished projects that I had intended to finish when 2018 first began. 

I have many intentions for the upcoming year.  I want to publish my book, my health is always on the list of things to improve (I am actually kind of sick of this one having to be on there), I want to teach some art classes, or at the very least hold art parties and take art classes myself. 

This is also a good time to let go of anything that no longer serves you.  Things that made you angry or upset, things that didn’t go as planned.  Toxic relationships, mental and physical clutter, and anything else that seems to be holding you back.  There are a couple of good ways to let go of what is no longer serving you.  One is to write down your problems, negative emotions etc. and ceremoniously burn them to release them, or you can place them in the back of your freezer.  You can also EFT tap on all that came up over the past year and release your feelings one item at a time.  You can write a letter to the universe, then listen for the answers while meditating. 

May this New Year bring all that you want and more.
Thanks for reading!
Peace, Love and Gratitude

Day 10: 28 Day Happiness Challenge

Let go of old grudges. Old built up emotions can weigh heavy on your heart and mind.   What old story are you keeping alive by not letting it go?   Who in your life has done you wrong and you are still holding it against them? How long has it been?   Yesterday, last week, a year ago, 10 years or even 30 years ago?   When you look back on that incident, what did you learn or gain from that encounter?   Were there things that you wish you would have said? Your challenge today is to find a way to make peace and let go of those old grudges. I want you to write a letter to the person you are holding anger or ill feelings for, tell them all the ways they hurt you and how much you hate them for what they did, get it all out.   Then write all the ways you are grateful and what you learned from them.   Last I want you to burn the letter.   Burning the letter is not only an act of symbolism but also uses energy to transform and release the energy in the...

Day 2: 28 Day Happiness Challenge

Sky gazing.   There is just something about looking at the sky that gives you a deep connection to the universe.   Some may feel small and insignificant at first and who wouldn’t when you are gazing upon such vastness, but the longer you look the more wonder and awe you begin to feel.   You feel like nothing can stand in your way of yours goals and desires.   The answers to all of life’s questions lies in the blue sky and clouds, within the moon glow and star shine, underneath rolling storm clouds and wind ridden days.   So take 5 minutes to just be and gaze at the sky.   Do it after your walk, but not while walking.   Step outside the office at lunch time, or from your window on a stormy day.   Lay down in the grass or lean against a tree. If you wake in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, step outside for a moment and take in the night sky.   Do this everyday or as often as you'd like.  Take note of your energy before and af...

Gratitude

Gratitude, a way of giving thanks and appreciating all that you have currently and all that is coming into your life.  It is the easiest and highest forms of prayer.  I started incorporating gratitude into my everyday life 10 years ago and it changed my life.  I was not necessarily a super positive person, in fact I had always found everything difficult or challenging, but when it came to others I was always good at giving pep talks to others or lifting their spirits. So I started simply.  I started posting my gratitude list on Facebook 10 years ago.  I would also invite others to post theirs. So how did posting my gratitude list change my life? On good days it was easy to come up with what I was grateful for, it was the bad days, the days that everything went wrong or I didn't feel well were the challenging ones.  They were also the ones that changed how I saw my life.  Coming up with something to appreciate on a day when you have every right to f...
