A New Year Reflection

I love New Year Celebrations! That is one life celebrations I look forward every year.The mood is always festive, happy and with intense "celebratory" feeling. One thing I'd like to do during new year is to ask family and friends about their new year resolutions....like anybody else, people will be vowing to lose weight, stop smoking, stick to a budget, save money, find a better job, become more organized, exercise more, be more patient, eat better, and ________ (fill in your own resolution).New Year is that time when we look back in retrospection and evaluation of where we have been and forward in hope and anticipation of where we may be going.

One life coach believes that standing between old and new years, between what has been and what could be, we form our resolutions for the future in a spirit of possibility and potential. Why make New Year's resolutions if there is no hope of change at all? If the past is a momentum that is impervious to transformation, why bother?

Durng this time, we celebrate the sense that we can step outside of the normal flow of time, touch a creative and visionary source within us, and shape the world afresh. New year for me is a new beginning...a new blessed and beautiful life.

New year is when we find that presence of potential and transformation, new birth and new beginnings, available to us each moment. It only takes a shift of perspective to realize that this moment, as the old saying goes, is the beginning of the rest of our lives.

Taking the vacuum effect---let us zap the old energies away and start collecting new beautiful experiences and relationships. For this new year, I can't wait to start anew--with life, with friends, with family, relationships (dah!:-) and my personal advocacy! I know this will be an exciting big adventure!:-)

Happy New Year Everyone!
