The F word...

Hi all, it's Meredith here.  Two things I wanted to do today!  

Firstly, I  wanted to check in with each of you and see how you're New Years commitments are coming along??  How many of you have stayed committed to the changes you wanted to make for yourselves in 2012?  How many of you are having a tougher time at it?  

One helpful hint for those of you who are lacking a little in the willingness department.  Take another look at your resolution list and see if they are CLEAR and REALISTIC goals you have set. 

If one of them is the ol' standard that finds its way on everyones list from time to time... Losing those extra inches. Make a side list of what that looks like to you.  How much would you like to lose? What's the time frame? What can you do that is fun or challenging that will keep you interested and motivated?  

Remember being realistic with your goals is a huge factor in reaching them. The second factor is START, and keep starting until it sticks!  

Secondly,  I wanted to share with you one of the New Years resolutions off my 2012 list.  

  ~ THE F WORD!!!  

Yes, you read that right!  In 2012 I am totally committed to "THE F WORD"...  "Forgiveness"!!! 

One of my goals is to really become conscious of who in my life I need to forgive.  What this looks like to me is...  

I'll begin by making myself comfortable with some tea and a pad of paper.  Then turning off my phone, television, or computer.  Becoming centered is important, so i'll take a few moments of silence to become clear before I embark on my journey down memory lane.  

This detailed inventory will consist of people I need to forgive and why!   Be it my kindergarden teacher, a stranger that made a harsh statement that I took to heart, a family member, an ex, a friend, and most importantly MYSELF.   No matter what the story is, how big or small, if it comes to me... I'm jotting it down because... its still with me.  

This process will be a daily ritual that I begin to practice. With each new day I will set the intention to forgive anything that comes up or that I've been holding onto and break free from old patterns that no longer serve me! 

With this daily practice I am consciously creating a new pattern of letting go and allowing 

"THE F WORD" process to set in!  

Lets work together to make 2012 the best yet!!! 

With all my Love ~ Meredith
