Same Old Resolution for the New Year?
Posted in Nourishment for the Mind » Learn on Thursday, December 31, 2009
I recieve a daily newsletter from YogaJournal.com and thought I would share this one as we start a new year.
Out with the Old
It's the same thing every year: This year, I'm going to be healthier, lose weight, get organized, and finally touch my foot to the back of my head. Yes, this year will be different—I can feel it!
Just as you might take a moment at the beginning of a yoga class to set an intention, it's wonderful to have healthy goals for the New Year. However, it's also important to remember that yogic wisdom tells us to strive for contentment. That means we should accept ourselves as we are—even with our flaws.
This week, practice acceptance of yourself and your situation. If you set an intention for the New Year, don't forget the positive aspects of your life. Finally, give gratitude for your many blessings.
Namaste,
Erica Rodefer
