Greetings!
Happy 2-0-2-4!
Do you remember when Y2K was a big thing? It's hard to believe that we are already one-fourth into this new century.
What are you excited for this year? What are your health goals? Maybe you don't have a specific goal, but are considering areas for improvement. And for anyone over 40 years old, it's best to give some attention to anything that comes up. These are the things that are trying to get our attention and an opportunity to steer our bodies and minds to a smoother path.
"True wealth is having your health and knowledge of self." -Benjamin Franklin
The energy of January kicks off in Capricorn season, a cardinal Earth sign that often snaps us right out of the jubilant festive season and grounding in our intentions for the new year.
The focus of the month is FOCUS. I encourage you to spend some time this month pondering and considering your direction and creating solid goals. This may be a shift from the "jumping into the deep-end" version of attacking our goals or resolutions, but that deep focus may provide a more substantial foundation.
What do you hope to achieve/accomplish/learn/experience/pursue in the coming 12 months?
Who do you imagine will be a part of that experience?
What is the first step you need to take?
Where to do you see yourself 6 weeks from now? 3 months from now? 6 months from now?
How about in 1 year? 5 years? and even 10 years?
What is the first step you need to take? When will you take that first step?
You may want to choose one word that captures the feeling of all of your pursuits this year. A small mantra can go a long way to support this focus throughout the year. Some possibilities include:
PEACE - I am willing to be at peace with my life situation even during tumultuous times.
JOY - I choose to experience joy in all areas of my life.
DETACHMENT/RELEASE - I let go of things that have happened in the past and open myself to new things.
TRANSFORMATION - Every day I am transforming myself and I accept change as a positive force in my life.
GRATITUDE - Every day I find new reasons to be grateful for my life.
PROSPERITY - My actions create and I am blessed with bountiful opportunities.
DISCIPLINE - I am disciplined, focused, and committed to achieving my goals.
Whether you are going to participate in dry January, increase your step count, or address sweets cravings that are likely triggering some kind of inflammation, do it with a greater focus and purpose.
May 2024 be filled with a year filled with blessings and prosperity, health and wealth for you and your loved ones.
Cheers,
Sheila
