Quick as a wink, Christmas faded into our rear view mirrors. Up ahead, a brand spanking New Year 2015 awaits! New possibilities! Fresh ideas! A new set of 365 days to accomplish something marvelous in your life.
What actions will you take in the New Year? How will 2015 define your life? Good? Bad? Successful? Otherwise?
Do you know which month Americans gain the most weight? Answer: February. After making New Year's resolutions to trim down, Americans hit recreation centers, personal fitness trainers and strict diets. After four weeks, they lose their discipline as well as their will power.
Their emotions dragged them back to sugar doughnuts and pizzas along with soda pops.
How do you get rid of emotional baggage?
First, forgive anyone and everyone who may have harmed you in 2014. That includes bosses, parents, friends, co-workers and strangers. Shed any anger toward anyone. Forget grievances. Come clean in your mind, body and vibrations toward the world. Forgive yourself!
Third, if you suffered a poor 2014, decide by your actions to make 2015 good, better and in fact, the best year of your life. It's up to you. Yes, you may face criticism and personal hurt in 2015. Stand up! Your life-journey calls for personal bravery. Seek the beacon of life. You will become a lighthouse of inspiration for others to follow. Become an example of excellence compared to no one.
Fourth, work out of mediocrity toward your personal best in whatever endeavor you pursue. If you're a parent, love your kids and guide them with fairness, discipline, expectations for excellence and security. If you're a student or employee, better yourself by working toward a degree or certificate. Make your mind and body better by your actions.
Fifth, if mean people do unkind things to you at work or play--decide to change their behaviors by changing your involvement with them. If you remember Dustin Hoffman in the movie, "Hook" where he tried to destroy Peter Pan, one of the little girls said to Hook, "You're so mean; you just need a mommy." That means we all need to feel loved, needed and purposeful.
Sixth, how do you find your purpose? I am currently reading a book: The Traveler's Gift--Seven Decisions That Determine Personal Success by Andy Andrews. I highly recommend it to you. That book will improve your intellectual vibrational frequencies. Navigate toward the greatest possible you in 2015!
Seventh, write up an itinerary for the New Year. Do you want to lose weight? Make a plan. Make it a day-by-day strategy. Make it a steady commitment. Dine on fruits, vegetables, grains, fiber and whole, organic foods. Avoid fast food, packaged foods, canned foods, GMO foods and sodas of any kind. Get help from top organizations. Change your lifestyle to a lean-style.
Eighth, remember to maintain your body, mind and spirit in a wholesome, meaningful and purposeful combination daily. Take care of your spiritual health by spending time in a church that fits you, meditation that feeds you or a walk in the woods. Maintaining positive emotional, intellectual and spiritual vibrations brings balance to your life.
Ninth, construct a "Vision Board" for 2015. On it, tape pictures and quotes of things you expect to accomplish at work, play and vacations. Place it where you can see it every day and make note of it. Keep those visions in your mind.
Finally, you captain your sailboat through life. Keep a steady hand on the wheel. Adjust your direction as needed as you maneuver through 2015. Make it a good year, a good life and your best ever.
