2012 New Year's Theme

I wrote this last week or maybe the week before but I'm just now getting around to posting it...

As you can recall from my 2011 post on New Year's resolutions, last year I had a New Years Theme instead of a resolution (Thanks Profgrrrl for the idea last year!). This year I am doing a theme again. It worked well last year and I feel that I made much progress on my theme of "Health" - in fact this is one of the first times that I've stuck with a resolution in years. And I am continuing on the Health theme, but it has now become part of everyday life. Making it more broad and more attainable and less intimidating helped.

This year I am calling my theme Listen and Grow- weird I know but my goal is to listen and be open to growth and change. I don't want to get spiritual but in all actuality this theme is a spiritual one. I need to determine my path and find my center. I tend to let worry and anxiety cloud my judgement. I don't always listen to my heart, my soul, my surroundings... I let others and their perceptions sometimes cloud my own feelings and judgements. So this year I am finding my center - I am listening in order to figure out my next steps and what is best for me and for my family. I am really good at listening to others and helping them make decisions or at least talk through things and make decisions, but it takes me a long time to make decisions myself. I think that I large part of it is the fact that I have too much noise in my head. So I am going to take time to listen to me.
