I am always intrigued by the shift and evolving energy as we close one chapter, one year, and open a new one. Nothing really changes. It’s a new minute, a new hour. AND that minute, that hour, holds so much potential and joy.
Think about it.
As the new year rolled in and as the clock struck 00:00, there was a collective, worldwide, palpable sense of glee and possibility. It is as though we were each handed the best present in the world and that present is opportunity, potential, anything you could hope and dream.
Now, as we reflect nearly two weeks later, we can still taste the newness, the excitement of that gift. Resolutions and commitments are set.
The question is, how do we maintain that joy, year-round? How do we not resign it to a mere, “January feeling”?
Truth is, it is all a fabrication of our mind and every moment is filled with potential and opportunity, if we allow ourselves to be open to it. If we allow ourselves to see it.
What new perspective will you stand in and fight to hold? It takes work to maintain new perspectives and not let ourselves slip, as old habits and ways of thinking are well-built neuro-muscles.
Why, for you, does 2018 hold so much promise? What’s the value gained by those new commitments?
As one of my favorite sayings goes, “nothing changes if nothing changes.”
With love,
Rachel
