Sunday December 28th well the count down to the New Year has begun. Ideas are circling my brain in anticipation of 2009. Today’s task will be to get a notebook with a hard cover and creatively decorate it. This will be my journal for the New Year. What will be written is a mystery waiting to unfold! However I will start by writing down these ideas that are circling my brain and keeping me up at night!
Monday December 29th exercise and fast! Today I will start by going to cycling at an ungodly hour 5:30am, followed by a yoga practice and a warm water fast for 24 hours to cleanse the system. I believe a nap is order too!
Tuesday December 30th finish laundry and organize the closets and dresser drawers – how cool will that be to start 2009 off organized?
Wednesday December 31st finish the year by creating a list of moments we were grateful for in 2008. Some will be happy ones moments for sure, and some may be bittersweet with lessons well learned. List them all and find a way to be grateful for those moments. I believe with every negative a positive will be found if we choose to find it. Tuck the list into your new journal for 2009 to be looked upon on Dec. 31st 2009 and note your personal growth! Then shower up, dress up and have fun with friends, and family.
Thursday January 1st, 2009! WOW! Sleep in. Once awake take advantage of the new day/year and go for a walk outside, breath deeply, enjoying the fresh air, and set your intentions for the New Year! Start your journal but don’t stress over it that you have to write in it everyday, just make the agreement with yourself you will write once a week on average, maybe more some weeks and maybe you will skip a week here or there. It is a tool to track growth, create lists of pretty much anything, and with each entry remember to write what made you grateful that day.
Friday January 2nd write your thank you notes the old fashioned way and send them through the mail!
Saturday January 3rd try something new today that you haven’t tried before. It could be anything, a new food, going into a shop you have always been curious about, it maybe walking around a different street, it maybe taking that first yoga class or even going to the library and exploring a different section that you have never been in. It doesn’t have to be costly, just imaginative!
My wish for all that read my blog is to have a wonderful week preparing for the New Year and to find time to think how we can make 2009 better for those around us and our world. In the words of Deepak Chopra, “I will invent something that the world desperately needs.”
Last but not least say “Hi!” from time to time and share what you are up to too! God bless and keep you safe and healthy!
Namaste!
