On New Year's Resolutions...

As we head towards the Gregorian New Year- I wanted to share my two cents/reflections into the new year’s-resolution-ring as a doc who partners with folks towards achieving health goals and is in that process of partnership with myself.

Instead of focusing on what you/I want and don’t have and resolving to get from that place of lack to having, consider: 
 
1. Ways you’ve already achieved that which you’re longing for AND
2. Actions that will help move you further down the path. 

For example, instead of “I want to loose 20 lbs by my birthday”> “I’m proud of myself for creating a more conscious, presence based, loving relationship with my body and food and going forward I’ll do my best to commit to 1. eating a fiber and protein rich breakfast and 2. walking daily x 30 min or more. Or, instead of “I want to write my book this year”> “I will write for 30 min daily or 3 journal pages on weekdays and if I fall out of the habit I will recommit to it because life happens and this is something I want to do.”

Emphasizing and celebrating gains up to this point, along with process going forward rather than the desired destination/outcome is an effective strategy for moving steadily towards those bigger long term goals. It can also be helpful to consider the people and habits in your life that are partners in your progress and to recruit some if needed. 
 
Shifting from:
✨lack>gratitude for what is & how far you’ve come
✨perfection>progress/process 
Will help to empower and propel you/me forward on the path. 

Sending love to all of you. The overculture does very little to support our mental/emotional/physical/spiritual health. You are rockstars for getting this far. Be kind and yet committed in your loving relationship to your self and your dreams. Celebrate your progress and keep going loves. Potato shaped loved, home-cooking with your loves, and rooty earthy comfort foods to all this winter season as we return to the light.
