Here's What We Absolutely Should Not Do:
Make preposterous promises.
Set gigantic goals.
Make no master plan.
Here's a couple examples:
I'll lose 20 pounds by Feb. 1st. (Unless you're getting rid of a small pet, that's not likely to happen.)
I'm going to pay off all my credit cards. (Really? You gonna cut them all up?)
The excitement of the season overtakes us. But ...we strangle our enthusiasm with unrealistic aspirations, with promises we know down deep that we're unable to keep.
Here' Some Suggestions of What You CAN Do:
Brain dump all the 'wants & shoulds', write them down on paper.
Prioritize them - what is the absolutely, positively, most important sure thing you really, REALLY want to achieve?
Lay out a plan to get yourself there. What are the baby steps? What is the 'one thing every day' you can do to move ahead to your goal?
I don't know about you but my life is stressful enough without putting unrealistic expectations on myself. My New Year's resolution is to provide you with outstanding opportunities to improve your creative, artistic skills. Oh yeah, it's on baby!
Please accept my sincere wishes for a Happy, Healthy, Joyful, Creative New Year. See you on the other side.
Big, Powerful Love,
