It's New Year's Eve and if you're like me, the idea of setting New Year's resolutions looms heavy on your thinking.
I love the idea of starting fresh. Making a change or two in my life. Improving myself in some way.
But what if we decide to celebrate those things we love about ourselves instead of focusing on the things we want to change? What if we embrace the notion of ahimsa and kick off the new year by not causing our psyches any harm? What if we love ourselves instead of telling ourselves what we'd like to change?
In this country we have a cultural preoccupation with New Year's resolutions. Consider instead setting intentions. Don't focus on the negative aspects of your being that you'd like to change. In 2011, take a softer approach and identify an intention or two that will take you into the new year smiling. Namaste. ~paige
