Start 2011 With This Kind Of Change

Change InsideIn the days and weeks ahead I would ask that you ponder and

Start 2011 With This Kind Of Change.

Everyone works on change on their outside, weight control, stop smoking, add exercise. But this year in your meditation or making 2011 your BEST ever year, think about change ON YOUR INSIDE.

Happiness- know what makes you happy and do more of that stuff.

Inner PEACE- do whatever it takes to secure this in your life and you will be miles ahead of everyone around you and at near self mastery

Health- make it on your to do list to check INSIDE your body - blood test, blood pressure measurement, and colonoscopy, health screenings as age appropriate.

Social- check your attitude toward others and put Mr. or Miss Grumpy out to pasture. Say in your mind you have mellowed out and that agitated old self of yours has been put out to pasture and you are going to walk around with a lot more smiles on your face and keep your mouth shut to much negativity. The world will start working a lot better for you with people in your life.

Mental- Try something novel and get better at it, like a foreign language or musical playing. At the end of 2011 you will have something you don't have now.

Look INSIDE YOU with resolutions this year, and from the INSIDE OUT make a better you in 2011. Life is short. Don't delay.

I have been thinking the same things! I have lots of work to do on the inside this year and feel making those improvements will bring me nothing but success! Great Post!

Just finished my quarterly budgets for my house affairs.  It is depressing, but I must be on my way to your advice or it is just age.

I am not upset, I am just dealing with it...It is what it is!  I find I am getting better all the time because I make an effort to be more positive.  When I am mad or upset, I am working at trying to get to the root and understanding my issues, so it doesn't happen again.

Thanks for the good advice.  Joy

You're right - all good change happens from the inside out.

One practice that can really enrich your life is to start each day with being thankful. Whether it's thankful for your warm bed or that first cup of coffee - or the fact that you have clients and work to do today.

One guru I read suggested taking 7 minutes each morning to write down the things you appreciate in your life. It sets the tone for how you'll see the rest of the day, and that smile on your face will bring more good people and events into your life.

Your list pretty much fits mine to a T! I love the part about putting Mr. or Ms. Grumpy out to pasture.

Now we're talking...you're speaking right to my heart and soul.  2011 will be my year to focus on "following the highest I know" and getting back the internal compass within.   All the best to you for a year of love and joy Gary.

A smile goes a long way to making your day and the day of others better.  My mother used to tell me, it is much easier to be happy and smile than to be frumpy and frown!  She of course was right.  Your posts are always very thoughtful and a joy to read.

Thanks :)

Hhhmmm.... I hadn't thought about THE INSIDE! I've got my personal and work goals completed (written.. not done!) for 2011. Now I need to ponder my internal well-being! Thanks for the heads-up, Gary!

Gary-This is an excellent post. All good points. I don't make New Years resolutions. I do my best everyday to improve in those areas. Now if I was going to make a resolution it would be to spend everyday telling my wonderful boyfriend how much I love him and how special he is to me because I believe that is the best way to have all of those things. Congrats on the gold star.
