3 Easy New Years Resolutions For You

There was a time a time that I stopped, looked at my life and said “I can do better than this.” I knew there was a better life and a healthier way of living out there for me.  So when the time came to drop old habits and behaviors I knew what to aim towards. Let me share the breakdown of how that process occurs. In addition, I will offer several ideas use can use to step forward into a better life starting today.

3 Easy Resolutions

1. Eat one serving of greens a day. You can even buy green powder to accomplish this. I must have went ten years of my life without eating greens. Now that I eat them, my taste has slowely changed to accommodate the bitter flavor and my mind/body has begun to crave them. Now I look forward to eating vegetables when before you had to pay me to eat them. As a result of eating more greens, my cancer risk drops, my body becomes more clean, and my energy level increases. Try it.

2. Say “I love you” daily. When that phrase is not appropriate in social places like work, you can use alternates like “I appreciate you”, “It’s great having you here”, etc. By showing gratitude and saying thanks for the people in your life, even to a helpful coworker, you will increase your level of happiness.

3. Explore a new activity or place. We must always explore – listen to a new genre of music, try new food, read a different subject matter, share a story with a stranger, travel to a new local. Growth comes from engagement and a new physical activity can spur rapid growth. Join a weekly dance class, sign up for martial arts, start walking around the block daily. We can predict what we will like and not like, but nothing compares to real experience. When you enter a new activity with an open mind, there will always be something to learn and grow from.

How to choose a goal and accomplish it

Be honest with yourself. Stand in the mirror, look at your reflection and answer the question “I will love you more if… “  If your self esteem is already rockin, look at your environment and ask yourself the question “What can make things better here?” By that I don’t mean buy new furniture, but rather what improvements of outer reality need to be made so that it matches your inner radiance? This is a method to find truth. For me, my body does not match the vision in my head. Therefore, I run daily. Years ago I used the mirror technique to change my diet because I saw an unhealthy image staring back.

Next, use love to believe and fix the goal true. Love is the dynamo that fuels visions. You must tap into a piece of inner love and say “I deserve this.” (Not want, but deserve) You can also use pets, children and partners as a source of love to tap as well. Love is like a fireplace you insert a blob of “truth” glass into. Using the heat of love, you mold the glass blob into a new creation that represents your vision. Your vision could not be made without the fuel of inner or outer love.

Something remarkable happens when truth is combined with love – we gain energy, direction and momentum. This energy actually creates the results instantly but that is in-perceivable by use because we perceive reality as moving through time. The goal result exists. We now have to catch up to it. Think of a goal as an anchor in the future. Attached to it is a guiding line that extends into the past. We use truth to find that line and love to pull us to the anchor.

When a person faces truth then uses love as a reason to realize a goal, this happens in an instant. When a person wants to make real change in their life, they don’t wait for January 1st to arrive. Moments of great growth and change occur at 2am, occur on the ride home from work, happen lunch meetings with colleagues. But it may take practice to face the truth of the change you need to make to live a better life. In that case, January 1st can provide a day of reflection to see where in life you can step up and make improvements.

Happy New Year! Stay on the road of growth. “The road is always better than the inn.” -Cervantes.
