I already realize that 2008 will mark a huge amount of change in my career. Last year, I set into motion a series of events that will now allow me to pursue my calling rather than continuing to labor away at a job that I’ve ceased to enjoy.
It’s a huge leap of faith, and I waver between feelings of elation and panic.
I know that it is vital for my sanity and sense of well-being to maintain a sense of the changeless. I know that in order to give my life room to expand and grow in the direction I’m headed, I need to create space.
My New Year’s Resolutions this year reflect this need for grounding: in a daily yoga practice, a daily writing practice.
The daily practice commitment will support and encourage me to meet other goals – like finish my teacher training to obtain my RYT Certification, or finding a studio in my area where I can teach yoga this year.
A daily writing practice will ensure that I meet my goals for Suite 101 – I want to have at least 101 articles posted by the end of this year. We are also working on creating a larger series of articles that depict and describe specific yoga poses!
They also give me room to grow: I’m going to write myself permission slips to explore new areas and to go on new adventures.
I am going to continue to clear clutter from my home, continually purging anything that I don’t need, love or cherish from closets, bookshelves and desktops.
New Year’s Resolutions don’t have to be set in stone. I prefer mine to be a little more like clay.
