Prepare for joy…
Have you ever thought about preparing for joy? Can that be possible? I think so. Our society is so preoccupied with the future and the unknown that we disregard the joy of NOW. This year I want to acknowledge joy in whatever form it comes. I will actively seek it and consciously invite my heart to be full.
Speak your truth…
I will live MY LIFE as an open book. I want transparency to be at the core of all of my interactions. The truth will not always put me in a happy place (and it may be uncomfortable at times) but it will certainly bring me closer to it. I want to walk in my truth forever!
Care for yourself…
This will be the year I become more connected with my mind, body, and soul. I need this…I am getting better at listening to my body but I’m stubborn and often push myself to the ground. No more ignoring the signs. Taking better care of myself will allow me to more fabulous for others (I’ve said this before).
Expand your knowledge…
There is just so much I want to learn. I’m challenging myself to learn new things and to explore new ideas. This also includes the things I know absolutely nothing about. The possibilities are endless. I love reading but I don’t do this enough now. It’s time to make time for this in my life.
Nurture your friendships…
I am so grateful for all the amazingly brilliant people that came into my life in 2011. As a child I excelled in school and was very outgoing but never really had many friends. I was always skeptical about letting people in. That pattern no longer holds true in my life and I’m THRILLED. I live for making genuine friends and will strive to continue to show my current friends how much they mean to me.
Let people love you…
To be loved. It feels so good, right? This may seem like a crazy notion to LET people love YOU. I feel like most of us assume this happens automatically. Well, it doesn’t. You need to love in order to be loved. Give more of what you want. Many say this but they don’t actually do it. Open yourself and your heart to others. You deserve to be loved. Be the truest version of you. This year I’m open to being vulnerable. I don’t need to be strong all the time, it’s totally ok. I’m allowing myself to love more, give more, and be more… Its time let people in.
Take on new adventures…
One step at a time! No need for giant leaps here unless the opportunity knocks. What I need is to take the RIGHT leaps. That’s what 2012 is going to be about. Reaching for things that will take me out of my comfort zone but that will allow me to turn my dreams into plans. I’m looking forward to the journey. 2012 is only the beginning.
Go where your heart leads you..
“To help yourself make a decision, flip a coin. It’s not where it lands that matters – it’s how you feel about it. Now you know what you really want!” -Chef Cheryl
Ain’t that the truth… How many times has that happened to you? I’m letting my heart lead me to places where I’ve never been before. I’m ready!
Have a wonderful year! Let’s take this journey together.
I’ll end this by using one of my favorite quotes: Let the beauty we love be what we do.” ~Jelaluddin Rumi
