Welcome to 2012
I think that New Year’s resolutions perhaps do more harm than good. They put a sort of all or nothing type pressure on us that more often than not leads us to give up anyway.
In fact, we pretty much expect that we’ll give up.
With that said, why make a resolution? Year after year, we continue to resolve ourselves to something we know we won’t likely take seriously anyway.
So this year, I propose instead declaring a theme for the year. Choose something that you can try to keep present in your daily life and that will ultimately increase your sense of joy, satisfaction or well being.
This year my theme will be gratitude. Getting present to it and expressing it on a daily basis.
I’m getting rid of the all or nothing and instead setting the stage for something. Something that could make a difference..
What will your theme be for 2012?
