How many New Year’s resolutions have you made?
And how many have you kept?
Not so many?
Me either!
I cannot tell you how many times I tried … and tried … for years … and I would greet each New Year with renewed seriousness and earnestness and intention and gravitas … It was exhausting!! And ultimately not very satisfying, as I observed my weight creeping back up or my continued attraction to men who preferred to be with other women or my inability to sustain a workout routine or my continued attraction to people who viewed themselves as superior to me or my earnings that never seemed to go above a ceiling … the lists went on.
So, I decided to quit with the resolutions … except I never really did … I just didn’t announce them or claim them or admit that that was what I was up to … with similar results.
And whose beliefs were those, anyway? Where did I make myself think I needed to weigh a certain amount, look a certain way, date a certain type of man, be surrounded by certain people, only earn money a certain way …?
Now, many years later, I no longer make New Years resolutions, and, I no longer feel bad about it! You see, the thing about making a resolution is that you have to judge that something that you’re doing and/or being is wrong!
As my friend and colleague, Dr. Dain Heer says,
"Your point of view creates your reality; your reality does not create your point of view."
So, if you view something as “wrong” do you create more of it or can you change it? I’ve found that if I live my life by other people’s beliefs and points of view, I continuously fall short, and make myself wrong for not measuring up and for not being able to change.
What if you weren’t wrong? What if you were simply you? Not right … not wrong … just you!
Some people set goals or targets or intentions, instead of resolutions. Personally, I am equally as capable of judging my failure to hit targets as I am of judging my inability to reach goals or my inability to abide by intentions, let alone meet resolutions!
Instead, here’s what I do.
Are you?
Here’s something I learned from Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer years ago, that I still do and that you can do as well. It’s called an energy pull and you can do it to bring into existence what you are asking for.
Play with it … have fun!
Letting go of New Year’s resolutions and actually asking for what I would like, and, being willing to receive it has opened the door to so many possibilities that I couldn’t even imagine, possibilities beyond my wildest dreams!
Wishing you all the very best!
Happy New Year!
