With only a couple of days to go before we hit 2012 my
thoughts, as usual, turn to New Year Resolutions. Every year I make a few and every year I
break them within the first few weeks.
I tend to go for the usual ones, dieting, cutting down on
alcohol, being a better person, not judging others, not getting angry, being a
better friend, etc, etc. Such a major
task it’s no wonder I was doomed to failure.
But this year has all been about change for me, so my
resolutions will change too. Thinking
about them this morning it came to me that you don’t really need to wait until
1st January to make changes.
Every day is the start of the future so changes can be made constantly. It seems a waste of valuable time to wait
until a specific day to start something new.
Why not strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. Make that change today, do what you want to
do, be who you want to be. To me life is
so short, it races by in the blink of an eyelid. It didn’t seem that long ago that we were
preparing for last Christmas and now another one has gone by. It won’t be too long before we’re doing it
all again for next year. So in the
meantime, we owe it to ourselves to have the best possible year and achieve all
the things we would like to. So my diet
started today.
This year my life changed in the most dramatic and positive
way. I gave up my job and re-trained in
Reiki. I have loved everything about my
year and so look forward to 2012. As a Reiki
Master I say, and try to live by, the five Usui precepts every day:
Just
for today do not get angry
Just
for today do not worry
Be
grateful and earn your living honestly
Be
respectful to others
Do not
cause harm to any living thing
So, although I no longer
feel the need to make New Year Resolutions, there is one I will make
this year and that is to replace every negative thought with two positive ones!
Good luck with your resolutions.
