I am fascinated with why people change. How many of you change from the gut? How many of you change based on logical decision making tools? I would be willing to be that change starts in the gut (or the heart, you pick) but you use logic to support the decision. I say this because this is the time of year that many look at their lives and make New Year’s resolution. But where do those go? How do we handle the guilt for not meeting those commitments? How do we decide to commit ourselves to that spiral of guilt and need?
I decided not to make a New Year’s resolution this year. Instead, I thought about what in my life made me unhappy and out of those things, what do I have the power to change. And out of that list, what did I actually want to do. It was an interesting process. More head, less gut. I felt better about what I decided to focus on in my life though – not some action but what was important to me and what I want to do in that arena.
So, here’s hoping you have a wonderful New Year!
