Time to Focus on Solutions not Resolutions

 Are you ready to change?
 
The season of giving is upon us – so what are you giving to yourself lately?  Are you giving yourself time to reflect on your life and the direction it’s taking?  Are you on the right path?
Let’s start with thinking about YOU right now. It’s okay to do that because you’re important.  You are at the center of any changes you ever want to make in your life – good or bad! 
 
This is the time of year where there is immense pressure on us, a lot of it is of our own making. The list is long and varied, those of you in business are knee deep in year end, got to hit the number or support hitting the number.  All the while, meeting family or friend commitments in your personal life.  It’s stressful just reading this, isn’t it? Today I want to encourage you to think and act differently.
 
What can we learn from this and reign in the chaos, create calm, and take back control?  It’s important to quiet your inner critic, stop allowing others to rent space inside your head.  Make some time for reflection. Take time to just breathe – wait before you react.  This is good advice at any time of year but especially this time of year.  People are much more emotionally charged, sensitive, during the holidays. 
 
Historically, we have made this time of year a time for soul searching, for change.  Do we double down on what we’ve been doing or choose a different path?  Far too often these decisions are made in the heat of the season and for the most part never have follow through beyond January.  So, what’s a better way?
 
It’s starts with you - it has nothing to do with the season. What do you want, do you know? You need to start looking at yourself as the number one priority in your life.  That is not selfish because when you are living a happier, more fulfilled life, you are changing your environment, creating positive energy around you.  
 
Think of all the choices you have each day to create your experiences:

• Do you choose to be a participant or remain an observer of your own life?
• Do you choose to spend more time in healthy relationships or not?
• Do you choose to learn and grow or stay stagnant?

 
These are only a few examples, it’s time for change – what do you want to change?
