Habits

We are what we repeatedly do – Aristotle

What habits do you keep repeating that don’t serve you well? The answer is probably related to your New Years resolution.  We keep repeating the same patterns, sometimes with different people, with different foods, or substances, and then are surprised when the outcome is the same.  Just because were eating a dozen low fat cookies instead of Oreos, we shouldn’t be surprised that the weight doesn’t fall off. And, don’t be surprised if personal or business relationships end in similar ways.  Often we do need to look at ourselves. Look inward to our physical habits as well as our reactions.

We are all perfect, with our distinct and unique gifts that have been given to us, but we can all take a look at our learned behaviors, and reactions.  Know who you are. Really, get to know yourself. Change the patterns that don’t serve you. Dieting, for example again, is only temporary, but making a life style change – can lead to a slim and healthy body for as long as you keep the healthy habit going.

Change your habits, change your life.

New Year Resolutions – Wishes

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

-J.R.R. Tolkien

Regardless of where you are in your life, regardless of how something might seem. Forget about the illusion of what is perceived. Forget about the illusion of the ideal image, and of what you perceive how things should be. Things are not always what they appear to be.

You are everything already. Know who you are. Be the best you, and that’s it. Don’t worry about the rest. That’s my wish for you.

And, that’s the resolution I wish for us all.

 

Happy New Year!

Love, Goldi

 

Box of Love

There’s a lot of Love in that box. It’s filled with cookies, and cards, hot chocolate, a movie,personal notes, bath salts for mom, itunes cards for the children, and special nuts for the man of the house. The box is overflowing, not just with gifts, but with love. You can feel the love pouring out of it. You can feel the presence of the sender. It’s not the gifts, it the whole.
That’s the intention we should put into everything we do – Love. You can feel, see, and hear the difference between a blank hug, gift, or word, and those filled with Love. You feel it in places too; in your home, business, and even in your being. Be mindful of what energy you carry, and bring with you, wherever you go. Bring love, happiness, and joy. Do everything with love.
