Remember that you have the power to create your life instead of letting life happen to you. Moment by moment. It might not feel that way, but even through the hard times, you have a choice. A choice to lead with love for yourself. There are so many times that I didn’t feel this way and was giving my power away. When it feels like other things are taking up too much space, take small moments to fill your cup. Create through writing in a journal or taking 5 minutes to daydream. Imagining the life that you want is a start and it might not feel like it but it is a step forward. Imagination creates possibilities. I know for some this might come easy OR it looks like it’s coming easy but for me, it’s a battle. One that I work on every day. Two ideas to get you started…

• Take small consistent steps toward your goals

When I was diagnosed with Dystonia, I thought I would never be able to exercise again. But, then I started with just 5 minutes a day. It will feel like a long road but before I knew it (it was months), I was up to 30 minutes.

• Create a vision board

Even if this sounds silly, it worked for me. Some things took years but seeing my vision come alive on a board and setting intentions kept my ideas and wants top of mind. I love looking back at my boards and seeing my accomplishments that have come to fruition.

And if you’re happy with where you are, don’t fall into the hype of the new year. Just LIVE and enjoy. Society is always pushing us towards something but it’s all about finding what makes you happy, what stirs your soul, and what makes you feel content.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? -Mary Oliver.

Have a great start to January!
