As another year begins, we are filled with hope, enthusiasm, and an abundant spirit. January 1 brings about magical change that wasn't available to us on December 31. It is a phenomenon representing the proverbial starting line - the start of a diet that is destined to be more successful because you have resolved that it be so. It is the start of healthy living at the gym, not smoking, spending more time with family and friends, get out of debt...Resolutions run the gambit all laden with high hopes that this is the time it is going to be, because you resolved that it be.
What if January 1 comes and goes before you've had the chance to shoot that starting pistol? Does the magic fade as the days pass? Will your diet still work if you start it on the 2nd, or even the 3rd?
The answer lies in you.
Where is your magic? Is it in the energy of the New Year? What if we could harness that energy, save it for a rainy day? Does this create an excuse or an opportunity?
It is January 5th and I haven't signed up for the gym, not a salad in sight. I find myself ready yet my glass of motivation is only half full. Optimistic but not energized I remain behind the personally designed barriers that continue to stand strong. They trap me in a comfort zone no bigger than a couch cushion.
My resolution as the New Year begins is not on the list most people have either on facebook or in their journal. My resolution is to meet those barriers head on.
I resolve to look for my magic within.
I will make it shine!
