2012: The world doesn't look quite like it used to
Another year over, another year has begun.
On the first of the year I received an email from my past self (FutureMe.org), in which I had included these words of advice: "Be gentle with yourself. Be patient. and don't rush things."
Wow, thanks past me, just what I needed to hear! It's something I was trying the past year, but it's always good to have that reminder.
In the transition from 2011 to 2012, I was even more reflective on the past, present, and where I want to be in the future than usual. I started a major written reflection in my journal after an email received from the gym I belong to. Then I stumbled upon a blog Savor Growth , which led me to another blog with the process that I am going to attempt to use for this year. The last step is to share you goals and action plans. I'll share parts with you here.
My overall phrase for the year will be "CREATE PEACE". In this crazy technology filled, stressed out society (and my life) it is often hard to slow down and really savor the moments. My overall theme will be to create internal calm and peace, along with creating artwork, and peace within my home and job. This will be a challenge, but one I'm up for trying this year.
One of my "Life Buckets" is about Writing and Creativity, and what's more fitting than using a blog to work on sharing both of these goals with others. I recently rediscovered my passion for arts, crafts, and all things creative and have decided to make one of my goals to do an arts, crafts, or writing exercise each day, and to blog daily (or as often as possible).
Well, I'm off to work, but will try to update on my progress!
Thanks for reading!
