| My New Year Clearing Practice- Bringing Out the Milk Glass |
I had so many plans for my winter break. Two whole weeks of
uninterrupted planning and writing. It was going to be glorious. So, of course
I did not actually have any uninterrupted time! There is no one to blame for
this. I think my body just decided that it was time for me to rest, so it
forced me to by getting sick. As I begin this second week of the New Year, I
can say with certainty that I have more clarity now than I did during all of my
winter break!
My newfound focus has come about due to one very important
factor: last Friday I had a small series
of steroid shots to the nerves in my neck, hopeful that it will help them relax
enough to let my neck heal. While I still have a tiny bit of pain from my March
car accident, this has helped alleviate that pain quite a bit. The bonus side
effect is that the tinnitus I was also suffering from due to the accident is
almost non-existent. If you’ve ever had tinnitus, you know how debilitating that
can be! I’ve had the most difficult time concentrating on anything since the
accident, mostly because of that constant ringing in my ears!
This leads me to my New Year’s resolutions- I actually don’t
have any! I do always see a new year as
a great time to start over, have a new beginning, but what I really need is a
reset- of intentions, of practice, of strategy. It’s really a mental cleanse to
prepare me to meet the goals I have set for myself, not just for the year, but
for life.
If you haven’t set your new intention for the year, or feel
like you’re already off any resolutions you put into place over a week ago, no
need to worry about it. Give yourself permission to start over at any time.
Every morning you wake up is the opportunity to begin fresh anew!
