There’s something appealing about a New Year’s resolution. I am giving myself another chance. How cool is that? We normally want others to give us just one more chance! How appealing it is to take responsibility for my life and what better way than to give myself another chance.
It’s a redo. Or maybe a repeat. A redefine? It’s a re-solution! Why should one solution be the only solution for my life? I am a changing and dynamic human being. Each day is an opportunity to re-solve my life.
By doing this, I am taking responsibility. The finger points back at me, right? I redirect my thoughts to the only person that I can control. I can control myself, my thoughts, my actions.
A good place to start is with my thoughts. I have the power to reframe any thought that comes into my head to be a useful thought. Have you ever, for example, felt deep sorrow for a loss in your life? Did you spend months, maybe years, mourning that loss, dwelling on the impact it made on your life? The exciting thing is that I have the power to decide to transform those thoughts, when the time is right for me. I reframe a thought of “my life is empty because he/she/they is no longer there” to “I have an opportunity to find and make new friends. I now have the time to seek the company of people who nourish me.” Or even, “I now can devote time to nourishing others.”
What thought is begging to be reframed in your head? Sometimes we need a little help sorting through and untangling these thoughts. Call or email me to schedule a complimentary coaching session.
