HEALTHY NEW YEAR

HEALTHY NEW YEAR:
GIVE UP YOUR RESOLUTIONS & REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR LIFESTYLE!!
January 5, 2014

As the tumultuous year 2013 dwindles to an anti-climatic close and the New Year 2014 arises, I am usually filled with renewed hope and a sense of possibility. This is a great time of year to look back, to take stock. What went well/wrong, what did/didn't I accomplish, what would I like to change/keep? Personal reflection can feel like a cup ‘half empty’ or a cup half full depending on you outlook. And while reflection is a truly worthwhile endeavor, it is primarily a high and refined form of art. How do we hold our past accomplishments and failures equally and recognize their unique worth? Can we wipe the past slate clean and start anew? Do we vows to do things differently, knowing how hard real change is to enact?

To this I say: Let’s NOT make any new year’s resolutions this year!!

If we look at the word resolution closely, we see that it’s meaning holds nuance. To resolve is to bring a task to completion, finish a project, lay an issue to rest, remedy an unfavorable situation, or return to a problem again and again with the intent of fixing it.  There are shades of meaning implicit here, but all begin with a notion that something is wrong and needs to be different!! Or changed!! Or completed!!

When we look closely at the nature of life we see that life itself  is a revolving door in constant motion. History repeats itself. Life is cyclic. In modern culture we can see such an example in the fashion industry where styles comes and go only to return again 20 years later. Or in human history where conflicts between people arise time and time again. Or in our own personal story, where we repeat habits over and over.

Spirit ebbs and flows in an infinite realm through time and space condensing into all the various forms including thoughts, ideas, patterns, material things and their thoughts, movements actions and reactions. Life is a grand and wild dance that never ever ends, and has no real resolution. So let’s get in sync and stop trying to resolve things – especially our bad habits.

Instead of making big resolutions at the start of the new year, let's take a different tack - 
let's  do something radical. Rather that setting ourselves up for failure and disappointment, let me guide you step-by-step on what, when,where, why and how to make simple do-able lifestyle changes that will guarantee you immediate success. Let's revolutionize our lifestyle little by little and take back the power to create a healthy lifestyle. 

I have designed a new program just for you!
