Hey Everyone!
This month we are taking a break from our regular Energy Advice Column to talk about Healing and your New Year’s Resolutions. It is unbelievable how many resolutions have to do with healing, well-being, taking care of yourself, standing up for yourself, etc. Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a resolution that wasn’t about healing in some way, shape or form. I would like to introduce a new way of looking at your resolutions and yourself.
Take this in: Healing is Becoming Whole. Think about it. If you feel whole, then there is nothing to heal, fix or rework. You are whole.
If you want to lose weight - well, the reason you want to lose weight is because you don’t feel whole. Maybe you don’t like how you look. Maybe your weight is causing physical issues. Whatever the reason, it is about wholeness.
Now becoming whole is different for everyone. You may have no arms or legs but still feel whole. You may have a life-threatening illness but still feel whole. You may not have a perfect job, but you may still feel whole. It isn’t about what you have, it is about how you feel.
I’m not about to say that positive thinking will get you there because I don’t buy that for a second. Positive thinking does work, but what about the many parts of yourself that don’t believe you can have what you want. Those parts of yourself are basically reversing the positive thinking magic. I am suggesting that you become realistic with what you want, need, desire, deserve, etc. Becoming whole can be simple or it can be complex.
What needs to change in your life for you to become whole? Now that is a powerful New Year’s Resolution, especially when you do it!
