About this episode
"It's safe and OK for you to relax and take in that all those things that happened, they're over and you don't have to be stuck there. " ~from How to Wrap Up Loose Ends of 2016 and Start the New Year Fresh! By Tapas Fleming, Founder TAT®
I declare that I DISLIKE New Year's resolutions.
And I dislike the pervasive marketing message "New Year, New You" even MORE! What was wrong with the OLD me???
What I DO like is opportunities to be reflective, fresh starts, setting intentions and creating visions.
I like getting really quiet and listening to my own inner wisdom guide voice, taking a deep breath and taking a step in a new direction.
I have some favorite New Year rituals that have replaced resolutions (that never really seem to stick anyway). And because one of the themes of The Creative Impostor is community, I decided to crowdsource some new new year rituals and exercises share with you and shake things up for 2017.
My Favorite Ritual: Gratitude 108- Take a sheet of paper or your journal and number it from 1 to 108.Or better yet, get a preprinted sheet here (because it takes a long time to write 108 numbers)!
- Write down (without stopping) 108 things for which you are grateful. It's just like a mad-lib full of nouns: could be people, places, things, ideas, experiences — just keep writing until you reach 108. If you get stuck, just think of any small thing that has touched you in the year. And when you reach the end, sit quietly, take a few deep breaths and notice how you feel.
