New Year’s Resolutions: 10 for ’10
Holy Glitter – we made it through another decade! For me, it was the decade of diagnosis, rock bottom, a creative explosion, empowerment, marriage, the loss of cherished family members, the addition of Lola (the best rescue dog ever!), physical and emotional healing and a loving Crazy Sexy global community. So many lessons learned, so much gratitude felt. And yet I’m just getting started! That’s a fantastic and spooky feeling. Can you be a grown up while still growing up? I sure hope so.
With oodles of thoughts swirling through my head, it’s a perfect time to scribble some resolutions: 10 for 10 – I hope you join me. Yearly goals help set our inner coordinates so that we can sail into the warm sunshine.
Take some time and reflect on where you are, where you’re going and where you missed the mark in the past. Then grab a pen (and a bikini) and swan dive in.
Here goes…1-2-3…SPLASH!
1. Take a yearly honeymoon and do not talk about work.
2. Take a yearly trip with friends (no spouses allowed).
3. Meditate for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening. If it’s good enough for the Beatles, it’s good enough for me!
4. Take guitar lessons and sing Neil Young songs.
5. Exercise please. The ass won’t take care of itself.
6. Therapy please. The head won’t take care of itself.
7. Watch more good films and less bad TV.
8. Start a manifestation posse, share secrets dreams and be held accountable.
9. Take a break from nutrition books and read delicious literature
10. Listen more; talk less and forgive, forgive, let go, forgive.
…Bonus resolution: Toss fear and smile. Money, health, career, love – they’re all there for the taking, but only if my hands are wide open. Fists suck!
There, that seems pretty doable. I often shoot too high and then splat. Can you really be an astronaut, the best chef ever, save every animal and solve global warming in 12 months? Oh, and have Madonna arms too? Maybe if I’m more realistic I’ll find a deeper happiness in the simple things. If I have extra energy, I’ll win an Emmy. If not: Fuck it.
Hmmm, I like this list a lot. In fact, I’m gonna keep it handy and check in with you from time to time. Buddies certainly help keep things on track.
One last thought before I close up shop for ‘09…
Go for it – don’t wait or procrastinate! And above all, don’t tofu chicken out! Life is moving at a fast clip…are you living it? Am I? Some of my nooks and crannies are still very junked up with stuff that holds me back. If you feel the same way then let’s do a little spring cleaning in January. That’s right, grab some Mrs. Meyer’s lavender scrub and get crazy sexy busy! I’ll bring the rags, you bring the tissues, the universe will bring the freedom.
Many blessings for an abundant and healthy New Year!
Kris
