Viewing the start of the coming year as a time of
rebirth allows you to focus on what you want to accomplish.
To many, the coming of a new year represents an opportunity to begin again. It
is a time to step off of dead-end paths in order to create a fork in the road,
disassociating from the old, and aligning with fresh possibilities. Harnessing
the power of this transformative energy is a matter of truly believing that
resolutions can conquer past patterns. If we believe we are capable of changing
our lives, we are more apt to believe that we are capable of leaving our
mistakes behind. Our dedication, which might otherwise falter, is buoyed by
hope. Thus, the beginning of the new year is traditionally a popular time to
tackle difficult tasks such as quitting smoking, losing weight, or fulfilling
worldly ambitions. But the transition from year to year can also be an
opportune occasion to pursue emotional, spiritual, and intellectual growth
because we no longer feel burdened by regret and
disappointment.

Whatever your reality, it is within your power to
create the fork that allows you to walk a more conscious, grounded path.
Viewing the start of the coming year as a time of rebirth allows you to focus
on what you want to accomplish in the coming weeks, months, and years. Because
you are a new person--in other words, a clean slate--you are free to immerse
yourself in new experiences with impunity. If you feel a need to reconnect with
your spirituality, consider taking up yoga, meditation, or another discipline
that challenges both your mental and physical selves. Fill your newly-cleansed
mind with stimulating knowledge, poignant wisdom, and useful skills. Clearing
your home or workspace of clutter can improve the flow of energy in your life,
giving you the momentum you need to stay true to your resolutions. And
beginning a fresh journal can be a wonderful way to celebrate these
developing aspects of your life.
developing aspects of your life.
In the ancient Babylonian, Chinese, and Celtic traditions, the period marking
the transition from the old year to the new was viewed as a struggle between
chaos and order, in which order always prevailed. Your belief that you, too,
can banish chaos and integrate your dreams, desires, and goals more fully into your
life will give you the determination and fortitude to change your life for the
better.
