Each year many of us pick something we would like to improve about our self or in our life. Typically these are lifestyle changes that do not occur overnight. We want results now, and we set goals that can quantify success. I really do not believe that this is the way to go. Does everyone want to be more fit? Of course we do. Am I prepared to committ all that I need to for this to happen, heck no. Why? Because I have a bunch of other things in my way preventing it, starting with me.
I was catching up on blogs, my usual routine on the weekends, and came across some ideas for resolutions that do not necessarily quantify success. I have listed my favorites below:
- Forgive yourself--let go of the guilt and the blame and do whatever you can to forgive yourself
- Think about the last thing you did for someone that made you feel really good, and do it again.
- Let go of feeling bad about something that you can not change.
We all carry expectations of what this world should be and what our place should be in it. Life is less stressful and more enjoyable if you can let go and establish your own set of rules. Set your expectations so that you can find something positive in everything that you do. If you expect to find good, it will be there.
