My new years resolutions for 2021

     My resolutions each and every year are always the same. I want to lose weight, write a book and to get financially rich. And every year I fail to accomplish what I set out to do. I guess I have issues that I am not aware of that keep me from doing something, anything to try to accomplish those goals.

    I have written resolutions and listed action steps and even answering why I want to accomplish these goals. Still after they are written down, I move into the opposite direction. I gain more weight and I think about how wonderful my book will be when I write it and go further into debt. I don't think this is how it is supposed to work. According to all the self-help gurus out there, I should be well on my way to manifesting my desires and ultimate fulfillment. 

    Lately I don't feel urgency to get up in the morning to seize the day. Maybe I will grab a piece of the day later that morning. To quote Jack Johnson in one of his songs, "...it seems to me that maybe, pretty much always means no." That is true in my case. The day gets away and as days keep getting away, soon it has been a month. By then, I am frustrated by attempting to change my reality when its way too big. Here I am, still stuck in a rut.

   Does it sound familiar? Maybe I am the only one who feels like this.  I am still left wanting those things. It's the "wanting" that is problematic. It is a lack mentality. And if I remember all those law of attraction books and videos correctly, I am manifesting "want" in my life. Something has got to change.

Since that is the case, I am changing up my resolutions for 2021. My desires for this next year are to get excited, get inspired, and to care more. 

    I want to get excited. It sounds like it may be difficult being in the middle of a rut, but it can be done. I believe it will work too. If I get excited I will raise my energy levels to higher frequencies. I will feel passion for being alive. This is a big departure from my usual approach to living.

    I want to be inspired. This is another way to up level energy. A sense of awe, would give me the courage to fulfill the purpose I was meant for. Even if I have no idea what that is today, inspiration will lead me to find it.

    I want to care. I have heard myself say in too many instances that I don't care. For 2021 that will not be true anymore. I will care. Caring more will help me to be someone that I respect. I care about how I approach my life. I care about how things will turn out and I care about you.

    I think this is a good start for myself. I really resisted looking at what I desired for this year. I started by playing a game called "wouldn't it be awesome if..." The way you play is ask yourself, wouldn't it be awesome if _______ ? The blank part is your answer to what you would think is awesome if it happened to you. Mine started the same old way if I lost weight, and if I had a million dollars (which still would be awesome). I did keep going though, because I noticed that these were the same answers I always wrote. I wanted to see if there was something else that I might have been missing.

After a few attempts this was what I came up with; Wouldn't it be awesome if I lived my life excited to see the possibilities emerge and manifesting? Wouldn't it be awesome if I was continuously inspired by my purpose for living life? Wouldn't it be awesome if I cared about how I approached living life in the best possible way? For myself the answer is yes it would. I still want health and wealth, but those are not my goals. Those will be side effects from the deeper feelings of having excitement, inspiration and caring about life. 

That is my experiment for 2021, we will see how this turns out. I do hope 2021 is the best year ever for you. Happy New Year!
