New You for a New Year

Time has flown by as we look back on all we have accomplished in the past year, we can't help but wonder what even happened to those New Year's resolutions we made! Some we kept, which others have been forgotten, but it has been a great year nonetheless.

What resolutions can we not wait to try?

• Get more sleep.
• Find a type of exercise you love and stick to it.
• Make more time to spend with friends.
• Stop sweating the small stuff and worry less.
• Compliment yourself, be comfortable in your own skin, and always believe in yourself!
• Put yourself first every once in awhile.
• Travel more and be adventurous.
• Volunteer to help others in need.
• Start your own business (there are a lot of great entrepreneurial adventures out there - I am willing to speak and help those who are interested in this idea.)
• Read a new book.
• Go see a movie! (Buy some popcorn!)
• Make something off of Pinterest!
• Write handwritten "Thank You" notes.
• Pamper yourself with a trip to the salon. (Get more pedicures or facials.)
• Organize your life, even your wallet!
• Create an emergency kit.
• Create a savings plan.
• Refresh your makeup bag.
• Bake a treat for your neighbors.
• Soak in a hot bath...until the water cools!
• Light a candle while you clean.
• Get outside! Go to the park on a beautiful day.
• Splurge and buy yourself some flowers.
• Take on a new challenge.

Commit to at least one of the above resolutions this year (2016), we bet that it will be your best year yet! Resolve to start living your best life. In case you are wondering how to change our life and yourself as the new year approaches, resolutions are made and broken. We all need some encouragement and help. Every year we consciously or unconsciously, through the process of what we call life, creates a certain image, a certain personality of ourself. This image that you have created within ourselves has nothing to do with reality. It has nothing to do with the self, our inner nature. It is a certain image that you have built, most of the time unconsciously. Very few have built a conscious image of themselves. We have all built images according to whatever kind of patterns or external situation they fell into.

Now, why don't we create a new self-image consciously, the way we really want to be? But you have to be willing to leave the old one. You can create that kind of image which supports you the best, that kind of image which created maximum harmony around you, that kind of image which has least friction. You create that kind of an image which is closest to your inner nature. What kind of an image do you think is closest to your inner nature? Visualize this new image as powerfully as you can. Make it alive within yourself. Tell me, what is this new self-image that you have created?

I know that I will be working on not just 1, but 2 of the above personally. But I also have some business goals that I will be working on, as I have accomplished most of last years business and/or resolution goals. I would love to hear your resolution and/or goal.
