I don’t think there is another holiday that can bring up so many different emotions – from over the top declarations of love to disdain for what some consider a commercialized Hallmark holiday to loneliness and sadness.
Valentines Day.
Now for those of you who are in beautiful, committed relationships with the loves of your life, I hope you took the time to celebrate it, in a way that was meaningful for you. And I’m happy for you. Truly.
Well we’re nearly through January (I know, how did that happen?!) and this is usually the time when many of us have already given up on or gotten side tracked on our goals and intentions for the year. Totally normal. No need to beat yourself up. Just take a moment to check in and see if the goals and intentions you set for yourself were authentic and true to you. If not, let them go and perhaps hone in on some more genuine goals.
If, however the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of January were true to you, take a moment to think about why you may have gotten distracted or side lined? Unexpected demands on our time, changes in health, Mercury Retrograde, etc all play an influence and there will always be stuff that comes up to pull you away from what you’ve set out to achieve. Sometimes these things can’t be helped and do require our attention and energy, but other times we do have choice. There are measures you can take to achieve the goals that you set out for yourself such as finding an ActionBuddy for one example. That way there is somebody there to keep you motivated.

It’s a new year and for many of us that means setting resolutions and goals for ourselves. If you read my post on New Years Eve, (if you were out celebrating and missed it, you can read it here) you know that carving out time for reflection is an important part of my closing the book on a year. I believe it’s an important part of consciously creating and achieving in the new year, how can you possibly know where you’re headed without understanding where you’ve come from?
Having said that I don’t set resolutions. They are far to serious and the word itself if riddled with negative energy, why would I want to bring that into the new year?
