And with it,
the pile of past failures, unkept resolutions, and disappointments.
It's an
all-too-common experience, but I'm going to suggest a subtle tweak to it this
time around.
Instead of
looking at everything that's WRONG in your life and saying, "In 2016, I
have to fix X..."
I'd like you
to look at everything that is RIGHT in your life and say, "In 2016, I'm
going to make it even better!"
Subtle, but
when you start with the positive, acknowledging the good, feeling gratitude for
what you've done right, then, from there, real change can take place.
It's time to
stop the self-recrimination, angst, and shame that comes with
"failing". It's why in EFT
Tapping, we open with, "Even though I ... fill in the blank with the
problem/emotion/current condition... I love and accept myself."
Start the New Year loving and
accepting yourself FIRST... NOT after you've done the thing, made the change,
etc,. THEN, the change will happen.
Outstanding advice! I always share with others that no matter if we stray from our original resolutions, it is never too late to return to the list and move on. Love and naked hugs, my fellow blogger!
