In reply to Heather. Thank you Heather. I love your "resolution". It's one many of us ignore and then learn to regret later.

Very good point on releasing negative trends. My “resolution” this year is to continue to be a better, healthier version of myself.

In reply to CK Kochis. My pleasure, Cindy. Thank you for sharing your insights with us. It's better to be gentle with ourselves and achieve more than keep beating ourselves up for the things we couldn't or didn't do.

In reply to Barb Parcells. I'm better at setting intentions and keeping promises to myself too, Barb, if my motivation level is at least an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. For some reason, Resolutions feel like the rules we had in school and often difficult to keep because life changes in the course of the year and sometimes the resolutions are more of what we think we should do rather than doable.

I set intentions and make promises to myself instead of resolutions. I am more likely to keep a promise once it’s made and with intentions I am always heading in the right direction even if I don’t make it all the way every day.

Creating a list of things I would like to accomplish in the upcoming year would be the closest I’ve ever gotten to making New Year’s resolutions. I watched too many friends struggle and then fall short of their resolution (quit smoking, lose weight, etc). Their self-frustration and destructive behavior is hard to witness. This is a great article to remind us to be gentle on our selves, consider our options to celebrate a “beginning” anniversary and provide us valuable insights. Thanks!

The conscious choices we choose to think, feel and express direct our life, and this takes inner courage and conviction. Thank you for this excellent thought provoking article Vatsala. Negativity is a choice. Choosing love, peace, harmony, abundance and to live our best life makes for a magical life. Happy 2019! 🙂

In reply to Lore (like "story") Raymond. Thank you Lore for sharing my post. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Many of the Buddha Tales are part of the folklore Indian children are taught at school and this one is a favorite. :)

In reply to Lisa Hutchison. My pleasure, Lisa. I prefer goals with action steps too and a clear growth mindset to help me achieve them.
