We’re close to wrapping up 2019 and the decade, everyone! For me, this is a time of anticipation and joy and as I think ahead for what’s coming in the new year.
This year, the day before New Year’s eve I’ll be starting a new tradition that is fun, a great distraction from technology, and a way to begin and create momentum jumping into the new year.
We’ll be clearing the dining room table, drinking some wine or some hot winter Wassail, imagining and dreaming, cutting, gluing, and using our creative juices to create amazing dream boards for 2020.
Our celebration will be a way to recognize all the joys, accomplishments, and to recognize the trials as periods of growth.
So raise your goblets or your hot mug and join in on the celebration!
I know so many of us to tend to look at the end of the year as “just another year past” with gloomy eyes. We think about the weight we haven’t lost, the things we didn’t do, the things that went wrong or how often how we still feel like we are in the same old, same old place as the previous year.
One New Year’s celebration tip is…
I am going to challenge you to say goodbye to those old tapes that play in your mind and make you feel horrible. My challenge is for you to throw those tapes out and think about how you can celebrate the good things that happened over the last year. Right now, start celebrating all the accomplishments, even if they seem like mini ones that happened over the last year.
I’ll take a moment to tell you appreciating and living a life with joy and ease every day doesn’t mean life is picture-perfect. It’s taking those foibles and points of resistance that cause us all so much suffering and transforming them into knowing how to live creatively. That is embracing all of life every day, the good times, the bad times, the moments of happiness, the craziness, and realizing it’s okay.
Honestly, if my life was all rainbows, puppies, and ice cream sundaes, I’d be downright bored. Life has a gracious way of taking care of us, we have to acknowledge the abundance around us and begin to see our unique circumstances and resistances with a new lens.
Even in those moments when the craziest things happen…like my Christmas tree falling flat on its side right as guests were walking up the front doorstep. It’s all a part of life. What a great ice breaker and a good reason to laugh!
Well, the New Year is rolling in and it’s the start of a new decade. I want you to take a moment and think about all the feel-good things that have happened over the last year. These are the things you want to be celebrating.
It is that feeling state of mind that is essential. The more you can get into that good feeling state of mind, the more chances are you can attract it. As Rumi said, “What you seek is seeking you.”
The other celebration tip is…
I want you to look at and celebrate the things that have not gone well, The regrets, the things you didn’t do, and all the perceived mistakes. Know that your learning and growing in those foibles and that it’s totally okay.
It’s so hard to look at mistakes. I have a hard time looking at my own. But, as I write them down in my journal, I see that all of my mistakes in life (and there have been plenty of them…) All have been so essential to my own personal journey and have brought me here.
Sometimes it takes a tremendous amount of courage to look at the things that have not gone well. As does it take courage to put yourself out there, fail, get up and, try try again. I will be the first to say that mistakes are how you learn, evolve, and create the life you want.
So on that note all, on New Year’s eve celebrate all the good, the not so good, the bad, and your mistakes, and regrets. Look for the gifts that are often disguised as something else. Bring forth new energy of celebration to ignite your new year with a bang and know to celebrate is always the best way to go.
