Thursday Thoughts Ed. 61 - Just for Fun
Whether you
set down resolutions in November like I do, or tally up your accomplishments at
the end of the year like my friend M.H, the close of December is a perfect time
to review what you did right in the last 12 months. Don't stew of screw-ups,
you can deal with that stuff later. End the year on a high note by celebrating
your triumphs. Study after study shows that positive thinking plays a
significant role reaching personal goals, including, weight loss efforts. What
better way to kick start your New Year’s resolutions than by taking a look back
with optimism?
How did you
treat yourself better this year? (I've given myself permission to see an
Acupuncturist every couple of weeks. Normally I'd think even the small cost was
too much for something that feels so indulgent. This year I realized how
much the sessions have improved my everyday well being. We are all better for
it! Right on!)
How did you
treat others better? (Taking time to catch my breath and calm my thoughts
before reacting in an intense conversation has helped me keep cool and leave
the unhelpful, harsh words out of the dialogue.)
What new
beginnings and resolutions did you see and set during the year? (From new jobs,
deepening friendships, the women's successes in this year's Healthy Habits
class, 2012 saw the start of lots of great things.)
Having
trouble answering the questions yourself? Maybe a little game of
"madlibs" will inspire you!
