New Year, New You ... or something like that.

Happy 2021!!! 

As a culture, we always enter into a new year with hope for what is to come. 
We look back on the year before and imagine all of the things that we would like to do better, start doing ... or things we don't want to repeat.. etc.  

Am I alone in feeling like we are in unchartered waters this year?? 
Last year was one for the books in so many ways!  I don't have to make a list,
we are all hyper-aware of the entire list and all of the gory details. 
Upon entering 2021, I did so with cautious optimism....still licking the wounds inflicted by the previous year... 
So far, this year hasn't been much different.  But in total honesty-I can't say I am surprised by that!  Nothing actually resets at the stroke of midnight on December 31st of ANY year. 
The only thing that changes, aside from the calendar, is our mindset! 
We resolve to make changes and improvements, most of which are nothing more than a foggy memory by March!  

Now... 
with all of that being said... wouldn't you agree that it's kind of up to us to make this year...whatever we want it to be?  Because if it's all about mindset-then no one else can help that but us! 
It's OUR MIND. 
No one else's! 
So take a moment..

..ponder...
​
think deeply and allow those deep desires and goals to bubble up to the surface. 
Look at them. 
What do they look like? 
Do they bring you joy?
What will it take for you to make them happen? 

I challenge you to add something to your goals this year.  Make TIME for yourself.  I'm not talking about spa days or anything like that, even though that is never a bad idea!! I'm referring to time that you spend in reflection, time you use to just sit and think and BE.  Use this time to adjust your focus, calibrate your mind and fuel your psyche with the proper nourishment to be healthy and happy.  Once you master this (which I haven't, so I'm mainly writing this TO ME...) you'll be able to tackle anything else on your list. 

Now, I know it's been a pretty wordy post, so I will leave you with some flaming photos to enjoy after absorbing all of this!  And remember-YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!  

Lots of love!!!!! 
Now go and make 2021 a better year than any other one before it!
