Let Your Resolutions Come to You!

How many of you make New Year’s resolutions each year?

I stopped making them years ago, when I finally felt disempowered enough to end the madness, since I wasn’t following through with them anyway!  Daniel Goldstein, a research scientist, says “It’s not that your goals are impossible to reach, but that you lack the self-discipline to stick to them.  It is physically possible to lose weight, it is physically possible to exercise more, but resisting temptation is hard.” 

He goes on to explain that we have two parts of us, our present self and our future self.  Who is in control? Our present self that often wants immediate gratification!  So what can we do to defend our future self that wants the positive outcomes of our goals? 

The wonderful news is that life is always providing us with opportunities for change right NOW—and in every NOW moment!  Instead of imposing behavior alterations on ourselves at the beginning of the year, why not make a commitment to embrace the changes that arise throughout the year? 

Often, not exercising is not the problem, but not feeling worthy of this self-care is.  Eating too much is not the problem, but that which you are avoiding in consciousness is.  Let your commitment for the New Year be, “I embrace the changes I need to make throughout 2012.”  Believe me, you will be aware of what those changes are as they arise!  And, you will be supported, because embracing change when it comes is participating in the process, instead of controlling how it happens.

Give this new resolution a try for 2012:  “I let my resolutions come to me!”

Happy New Year!
