Happy New Year!! Now that all the hub-bub is over - what do you do next?

• Breathe a sigh of relief
• Breathe a sigh of sadness
• Breathe a sigh of anxiety over what’s to come
• All of the above??

Personally I choose D) All of the above.. this is a difficult time of the year for many people and its because you have such a high of happiness (being with friends/family/good food/drinks/fun/presents) and then crash to all the stuff that just isn’t “merry” (bills/debts/back to school/messy houses/plans for the new year) so it’s overall difficult.

I thought about it on the way home from my dad’s place on New Year’s day (we had a roaring party there the night before).. Everyone is so keen on “starting the new years off with a bang”, making sure plans and mindframes are “just so” and then a few things happen…

1. We start out the day feeling like junk (from eating or drinking too much)
2. Because of that, chances are we’ve let a newly formed resolution slide
3. and now because of that slide, our confidence has faltered.

Ideally what should happen is the following:

1. Start the day off well rested (I know it’s not that fun.. but it’s worth it..) and not feeling like junk
2. Get your resolution off to a great start because you feel awesome
3. Kick your resolutions behind and have enough confidence to master Everest
4. Continue your year that way

Reality is though, the latter scenario doesn’t happen. My idea intead though is to just let it go..

Give yourself (and I think I may be talking to myself here..) a break and just “BE”… Things will work out, goals will be met and sucessess will be made.. stop fretting and just be.

We’re all way too hard on ourselves over the course of the year anyways, why start the year off with that hanging on??

I personally have already had a few glitches (on a personal and on a biz front) but am letting them go.. the adage is that every day is a new day, so I’m going to follow the mantra of the adage..

Time to start over

Cheers to tomorrows goals and successes.. and if that brings along a glitch.. well.. there’s always the next day!!

Take it easy on yourself…
