Resolutions

Here’s a true resolution for you…resolve to be your best self, everyday. That pretty much captures all resolutions within a nice, tidy little affirmation that you’ve personally decided to be the best person you can be…mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally. No easy task, I’m sure. Yet, it is the highest and truest resolution we can make for the New Year.

Resolution synonyms: declaration, decision, promise, pledge, decree, oath, ruling, and here’s the kicker…motion…I like to think of it not in the sense of a court or legal circumstance, but of motion as a form of movement. Yes, there is the resolve, the decision that you declare to others and yourself, but…what about the motion? There needs to be fluid movement in attaining the sought after declared event or state of being. I wrote this little thing on my notebook a while back.

“Results are a product of action, based on intention, and born of dreams.” – by TR Hughes

Dream it, intend it, the ACT. It is through action that results are achieved.

We can want something all day long…but if wanting is all you’re going to give…then you might as well give up. I, for one, am so intensely guilty for this travesty in my own life. There are lots of things I want or desire to be, to have, to accomplish. Yet, if truth be known, I could very well be the poster child for inaction, at times.

If you have a really big goal, try breaking it down into micro movements…little steps that add up to distance on your path. If you have multiple goals, as I think most people do, then itemize and prioritize them into a plan, a doable plan…with action steps weekly or even daily.

So…let us all get off our butts and go about our business at hand, surrounding those resolutions with motion. For me, I feel enlivened and invigorated and ready to tackle the upcoming week. I’m off to exercise. Have a great day, all. And remember…

Live Well. Live on Purpose. Live Your Dreams.
