A New Year with Enough!

Dear friends~

The New Year gleams with possibility and potentiality; crack it open like a piñata and be amazed at what pours out! What if you expect the best, and craft the best out of what is given to you? This year, can you discover wonderment in the simple and miraculous millions of present moments which strung together create a life? I wish all of this for you and humanity.

I mentioned to a friend that I'd recently heard of the Nordic/Swedish mindset which seems to help Scandinavian society stay balanced amid long winters, dark days and life's challenges. Lagom is a simple philosophy which means coming from a place of believing in enough: I have enough, there is enough, I am enough, you are enough.

On the heels of Christmas, Hanukkah and New Year the concept of enough doesn't appear to be in our American society's vocabulary. Everything from feasts, decadent foods, elaborate gifts and excess scheduling seems to define the holidays. It is almost what is expected. And by the time the month of celebration comes to a close, we've probably had enough! :)

If we come from a place of lack then our metaphoric cup is never filled. If instead we begin to realize we set the bar with our philosophy, our thoughts, words and actions, there is always enough.

The foundational principle of enough multiplies our feelings of contentment~ something key to the yogic awareness or niyama called santosha. And ironically, that feeling of content~ "I've enough~" doesn't interfere with intention-setting, growth or ambition, like one might fear. Instead, when we are at peace, content with what is, that feeling is like rich soil for us to flourish and grow!

This year may you flourish in the Scandinavian philosophy of lagom~

Peace, light, joy~ Pamela
