New Years Resolutions: 'Tis the Season
 | “You know how it starts: the New Year’s Resolutions tango.
At first you’re excited, maybe even upbeat, about the dance of life. This year it’s going to be different. You really will exercise more, eat better, keep track of your spending, maybe even create a money goal. After three or four weeks the music starts to slow. Then it stops. You lose track of time. Old habits creep in. By March the words “New Year’s Resolution” send you running toward the nearest exit. Nebraska Life Coach Wait! This year, 2012, doesn’t have to turn out like that! It really is possible to transform your life so that you dance all the year through. It has to do with shifting the focus of your attention from your Resolutions to your Life’s Intentions. First, consider the word “resolution.” It means having firmness of mind and determination. Sounds difficult? It’s like clenching up when you’re about to take one of those tango “dips.” On the other hand, consider focusing on your Life’s Intentions” (Maria Nemeth, 2011). Now check in on your energy. Is it spacious? Is there possibility in turning your focus toward that which has meaning? Yes, yes, yes! Begin the New Year with clarity, focus, ease and grace. Make a commitment that this really is the year you live your dream, reach that goal and move forward with the energy of empowerment! A coach can help you do just that! Nebraska Life Coach |
