I hear lots about De-cluttering! seems like our lifes are all cluttered up with all sorts of things and sometimes we lose the focus of the things most important to us.
We have no space in our houses or heads, to breathe, to let new things in..
Also we are too hard with ourselves, i suppose.
Making all these demands, well the usual.., be more organised, stop bad habits, really finally start doing what we always wanted..
Usually it works for a couple of days or we can change a little, too little..?
Anyways, i learned you can make a lot happening by listened to yourself, be true to yourself and making a precise statement about what do you want to do.
Know your limits is a big one, get to know yourself.
What is the best way to that? Thats what id like to know!
But i made my lists for this year, quite a few of them, im pushing myself, im having fun challenging myself, as long as its not too stressful and i Love learning new things!
My Goal for this year is to build my little business, which i just started a couple of months ago, into a giant corporation,... just kidding!
No, but i wanna live of the money it makes me and i want to live well and i think i deserve this for myself!
I think the biggest problem with (new years) resolutions is, we are trying to do too much in too short of a time frame.
If we make a mistake or cant keep it up for one day, we tend to get discouraged or angry and frustrated with ourselves.
Just keep going, keep your destination in mind, be kind to yourself, but still keep challenging yourself.
Like an athlete, building up muscles, they arent there over night either!
And let me know about the best way to get to know yourself, im quite curious!

Franziska! I think this hit the nail on the head. We are so critical of ourselves - we need to be kinder and more nurturing. (Well, I do anyway).
