Fresh start.
Clean slate.
With new beginnings,
We can create.
With the passing of each year, a new one begins – and with
it, new intentions for everyone on the planet.
Universally, the New Year is one of both unification and of
consciousness in hope and renewal, however we need not always focus on the New
Year being an opportunity for new beginnings.
We can shift and change that LINK now by remembering that every single
day is an opportunity to renew.
Many believe that our attachment to the idea of change must
be connected to dates on a calendar, but if we look at dusk and dawn as the
closing and beginning of time spent with each day being all we have, we can
develop a deeper appreciation for all that is…RIGHT NOW.
Reconfiguring this key LINK within your life provides you
the opportunity to comprehend your emotional and cerebral identity LINK you
created long ago to how you choose to decide to process ‘meaning’ in life and
how you connect it.
Is this automatic recall?
Is this a behavioral pattern?
Can you make a commitment to re-evaluate your own connection
and go within to make the shift?
The answer is YES.
During any moment within your journey, you can change your
own destiny by choosing how you identify with processes you’ve previously set
in motion to change how you act and react in your next phase of life.
While many have New Year’s resolutions to quit smoking or
drinking, live a healthier lifestyle and change old habits and patterns in the
physical realm of being, we also have the opportunity to tweak the LINKS on a
mental and emotional front in connection to previous behavior to eliminate old
issues.
Rather than have old issues repeat themselves, you have the power
to change the LINKS which no longer work for where you’re going or what you are
doing next in your life.
The process itself can be arduous and sometimes painful in
shedding your own idea of who you think you are or who you thought you were
supposed to be, but it is vital and necessary as part of the imperative process
of change.
Change is constant.
You are constantly changing.
Life is constantly changing.
Each day is a new beginning… if you fail at a goal or
resolution, you do not need to wait until the following year to ‘be better’ or
to re-address the failure. Each day is a
new day to begin AGAIN.
Think about it and start ignoring the calendar as a ‘must do
this by XYZ date’ – and give yourself the permission to be human, but to also
succeed each time you set out to try again.
Determination and persistence
go a long way when you begin to recognize your own internal clock of how you
feel in dealing with your resolutions instead of letting a calendar dictate to
you, whether or not you have succeeded.
Therefore, old behavioral patterns are as useless to your changed pathway because they were not designed to be utilized with your new
journey.
Confused? Let’s break
this down further into a more identifiable explanation.
For years, aluminum foil was considered to be the ultimate ‘go-to’
wrapping/storage wrap. For some, this old wrap still is very useful. But when the microwave was invented, aluminum
foil could not be used here – it became dangerous to use it inside of a
microwave.
For years, the flathead screwdriver was a useful ‘go-to’ tool
in building all things – that is until the Phillips screwdriver came along and
the Allen wrench came a long and different tools became necessary in order to
adapt to the change in the variety of uses of building different kinds of items
with different screws.
For years, a floppy disk drive was the ultimate way of
storing information until CD-ROM and flash drives, zip drives and the Cloud
came along… you get the picture.
Just like switching from a turntable with vinyl records to
CDs to iTunes or whatever your point of ‘change’ you’d like to use for
reference, you have to see that nothing stays the same. So why should the way you deal with your
goals or resolutions?
If we examine change and change being inevitable, we must
identify old processes, solutions and ‘go-to’ familiar LINKS used in life to
problem-solve and foster change within.
As humans living on Earth, this process in itself is a tad
more challenging to adapt because the root of it resides in a comfort-zone and
recall learned behavior process which has to shift consciousness before it
becomes a new habit or ‘go-to’ space to use efficiently and evolve into
everyday action.
Make a list of your good habits, and then make a list of
your bad habits. Notice which list is
longer and which list took longer to adapt.
You’ll see that bad habits were easier to adopt into your life than the
good ones, which is why they still reside within your way of living.
For any resolution or goal to succeed, you must understand
the ‘fear’ or ‘resistance’ behind the unwillingness to change and tweak the
LINK within to comprehend WHY you have this fear or resistance.
What are you afraid of losing by making said changes?
What is the resistance about and can you properly separate
your own ideas with regard to the resistance in relation to your family,
friends, peers or others who are forcing you to be someone you are not?
Start with choosing to become grounded on the change from
the position of it being YOUR choice and you will start to see how your own
creation of change for YOURSELF (not anyone else) is the motivating and driving
force behind the change. This breeds new
ground for success, because it comes from YOU – not someone else’s plan.
Without doing so, any attempt to move forward will be
unsuccessful because you will be operating back in default mode of the bad
habit or the bad behavior – not only because it is familiar and comfortable and
what you have ‘known,’ but because you haven’t adapted your new solutions and
are still stuck in your old methods of ‘dealing.’ More importantly, the motivation will be wrong
from the get-go. Once YOU decide what changes,
resolutions or goals you want for yourself without outside influence, you can
begin to step foot back on your own personal journey for your destiny designed
specifically for YOUR LIFE.
When we begin to address the root of the failure for
resolutions and change the LINKS within our life in how to start a new
beginning, we recognize we hold the key to making the change we wish to make.
Wishing you the very best for each new day and each new
year.
Namaste.
