Do you say "this Year I will diet, I won't eat so much sugar, I will exercise more, I will quit this or start that" every year? It is time for a different kind of resolution. Whether you make them about you or about how you behave, think carefully. Consider going deeper in, less exterior attention and more internal focus.
Do you try to feel connected to everyone you meet or do you worry more about how they see you?
When you listen to someone in a conversation, do you really hear them or do you formulate your next sentences while they are still speaking?
When you feel wronged do you step back and try to see the whole picture from everyone else's view?
Have you ever tried to stop a feeling of anger and look at it as if it was a waste of energy, that you can actually skip that part and go right to the part where you feel sorry for the person and be glad that you didn't behave negatively?
Ask for guidance. Look for signs. Listen to your heart. Be in the moment. Appreciate the smallest, most simple things, actions or words or soft breeze-anything that you notice is worthy of appreciation. More will come of what you put thought into, that is a good place to start the New Year.
Now, let me be honest and say sure, I want to lose weight, eat less sugar, exercise more--all that and then some. I have other frivolous mini-resolutions like I will wear earrings to work more often, things like that, but I resolve to be a better human most of all. How about you?
