As I do every year, I have made New Year's resolutions and broken most of them by now. This year I will lose five pounds. This year chocolate will not be in every one of my meals. This year I will take a multivitamin everyday instead of one a month. This year...
I usually tape them up on the fridge to remind myself of the issues I want to tackle. By now I have taken down the piece of paper to make the fridge better serve as my daughter's art gallery. Besides, my desire and motivation are fading.
I wonder why?
Perhaps it is because I don't really care about these resolutions. Deep down my authentic self knows that these resolutions will not truly help me live to my highest potential.
The other day my husband sent me a link to a foreign commercial. It was the most raw and honest commercial I have ever seen.
After viewing it, moved and motivated, I made a new resolution. I resolve to be more mindful of my "time"-be more mindful of my moments. Instead of a list, I taped a picture of my family on the fridge, nestled between a report card and a drawing of puppies. I think this one I can keep because it speaks to the divinity inside of me. This one will help me reach my highest and best.
Blessings.
Namaste,
Krissy
