I’m not one who usually makes New Year’s resolutions, and this year was no different. What was different, however, is the way I’m approaching some life direction changes. You see, my mom calls me an “experiencer”. As in, when deciding my incarnation for this lifetime, I apparently realized that I didn’t get to experience enough in my past lives to further my growth. And I have to agree with her. I’ve always been willing to try most anything, within reason, once. Twice if I like it.
So this year, I had a good long sit with myself and had to think about what was working and what was not, what I want to experience in this lifetime and what I would like to eliminate and what I would like to learn and accomplish. And it’s A LOT. I then started thinking about what is possible to accomplish this year. Some things I know need to be moved to a list that will allow more time for them to manifest, but some things I can do within the year.
One of those things I can do is tweak my diet. You see, I have this love affair with nut butters. Not just any ol’ nut butter - no way! I’m especially fond of creamy, raw cashew butter. Almond butter is good, too, and I’ve always been fond of peanut butter (not technically a nut, but, you know…) So I’ll continue to carry on my affair with nut butters, just not as much. A little discretion here and there is called for…
So back to this list. One thing I’ve added to my “this year” action plan is to write a program to suit my needs that allows me to track my changes, accomplishments and life meters. I’ve looked at some goal setting software out there, but they aren’t for me. Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands.
I have many things on my plate to choose from and I want to experience all of them, and some things I’ll be scraping off into the trash.
Here’s to a new year, a new me and a new you.
