Who Needs a New Year? My Intention Now and Always
Thursday, December 31st, 2009As I sit here on the eve of a new year I think about all the people making resolutions…lose weight, quit smoking, no caffeine, be nicer, get a good job, work less, work harder, the list goes on. And then I think about all the people in Feb (or sooner) giving up on those resolutions. We’ve all done it, right? We all do it, which is why I don’t make new years resolutions.

I totally respect those that come into the new year with resolutions, and I’m blown away by those that actually follow through…although come to think of it, I can’t recall ever meeting anyone who has.
As I’ve grown over the years I’ve learned the value of the present moment and how every moment is a brand new one and it’s okay to start over at any moment, so January 1 doesn’t really mean much to me other than it’s another moment!
So with that in mind, here’s my very simplistic intention for this moment, the next, the next and the next moment: TO FEEL GOOD AND TO HAVE THOUGHTS THAT FEEL GOOD! I truly believe that if in every moment I can feel good, then all will be well. I will have anything and everything that I want and I will be living my dream life. Period. It’s that simple.
Now, I’m sure you’re wondering how I will feel good when something bad is happening and how feeling good will bring me anything and everything I want. Let me explain — if something bad is happening it’s really just my perception of whether it’s good or bad, so if I can perceive it to be good, or at least see a bright side, then I’ll feel better. Does that make sense?? AND, as you know I’m a HUGE believer in the Law of Attraction so the better I feel, the more things I’ll attract into my experience to feel good about, and I won’t be having “bad” things come into my life!
So there you have it. My intention now, on Jan. 1, or any other day, any other moment is to feel good. Wanna join me?
Happy New Year, Everyone!

Okay, so I’ve totally slacked on this. I could easily just blog about my excuses as to why, but I’ll spare you. Plus, it doesn’t matter. So, what I’ve done is list the assignments in the 21 day gratitude challenge for the days that I slacked, plus today’s.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=1648b834-9314-4833-9b5e-373bbc802e04)

Another thing you can do to cultivate a sense of appreciation and to keep that feeling alive throughout your day is to use one of my “![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=b55a7239-3bc8-4f00-8549-9ea7c4f70ed6)
One of my favorite book of poems is by a guy that I randomly met at one of the yoga studios I taught at. He wasn’t a yoga student (of the studio), but he was there promoting his book at an event the studio was having. His name is ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=db2473c4-7338-4ed4-a19a-36a8cedadf79)
I catch myself worrying about the craziest, most ridiculous stuff! Actually, it’s not really worrying that I do so much, but I’ll just have crazy ideas pop in my head. For instance, almost every time I drive over a train track I think, for just a brief moment, what if a train comes barreling down and slams into me. Or if I’m driving behind a truck that has a ladder or something sticking off the back I might think what if that ladder slides off the truck and goes right into my windshield and nails me in the face. Basically, I just think of freak accidents happening to me &/or my family. It’s so weird. I hate it.
Only good things come to me.![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=1d36d751-0ee7-493c-98fb-da4ee943e1d6)
