Say NO to New Year's Resolutions

All kinds of ads are going to be appearing telling us we need to be more- healthy, fit, strong, young-looking, organized; or less- in size, weight, stressed, in debt. Good to remember lots of those people are focused on getting you to listen to them, as the expert in charge of your life.

How about looking at ourselves and just accepting who we are right now. Focus on accepting ourselves, embracing the humanness of us. Why would a counselor, who makes her living helping people change, tell you to accept you now? Because if we accept who we are right now, we can begin to shift the things we want to shift. And the changes YOU want to make will become apparent.

Remember so much of what you do has gone well or you would not be around to welcome in a new year!
