New Years Resolutions Time is Always "NOW"
December- 2003 Article 12-1
It’s hard not to let the thought of the “New Years Resolution” come into mind around this time…. I can clearly tell you that no matter what - it’s pretty much all the same…loose weight, exercise more, stop “this” or start “that” to leave Mr. Jones or start seeing Ms. Jones, one can go on and on…. But no matter what your resolutions may be you must know that you live on your own fiscal calendars when it comes to life and not by via an accountants ledger that must start ticking by midnight December 31st for you to start changing your life. If this were not true “everyone” would be born on January 1st…your creator would say…”Let’s see..I believe it’s time for everyone to be born on this particular year cause this time it will be right!!!”
Granted picking an opportune time for a specific event to happen is always best for the optimum effects…. So I have come up with some short notations of logic that may help logical statements that may help boost your enthusiasm into now rather than tomorrow that many come to me for:
Weight:
In loosing weight one must consider that the more you are out of control of your habits the more weight you will have to loose. Look for the long-term rewards that you are seeking which will allow for the longevity of your quest.
Bad Habits/Smoking:
Bad habits…what could that possibly be? Too much of anything could be in this category…too much porno, too much tv, profanity, being late for meetings, any, more or all of the above can really get out of hand. I’m sure you’ve heard of everything in moderation…Well when your life becomes encumbered by your obsession and it effects you or others that you love then it has become a problem therefore must be either tamed or stopped entirely. How? By asking yourself what is more important…Clearly if you feel that your Television programs are more important than your significant other then you have a problem….it only takes one being unselfish to realize this to change…not a magic day of 12/31.
Smoking is a chemical addiction as well as a habit.. It takes your “will” to stop…Look to replacing this habit with a healthy habit and learn how to focus on becoming that person in you that does NOT need a cigarette. Adapt a vise that will add to your life rather than deplete it.
Relationships:
If it is a relationship that you are wanting to get out of…well there are many circumstances why someone stays in relationships…love, convenience, and in many times habits be it good or bad habits. If a relationship is bad it is always good to just put one foot in front of the other and walk away…as brutal as this sounds it makes sense but is the hardest reflex to do. If your relationship is emotionally or physically abusive please have faith that life does go on and with the laws of balance you too will have your day of glory. The first law of nature is self preservation. So preserve your life and be good to you or you may not be good for anyone…On a good note for all of those who are waiting for the right time to “pop the question” well men view romance differently than women…that’s another article... but love should always be “now” and not tomorrow unless the person is under aged or married to someone else. Too many take life, love and much more for granted. In my days of giving readings as a psychic I’ve heard of some breathe taking romance stories and what I have learned is the most that many who wait at the 11th hour said that they wished that it was the only the first hour as too much time had past.
Money:
As the saying goes “Money attracts Money”…. If you’re poor today you’ll be poor tomorrow unless you win the lottery or change the way you view how money is dealt in your life. True enough Money is only here to be spent as we cannot take it with us in the next world… BUT while we are here look into the following:
- Get a credit report every six months
- Work on setting budgets
- Separate the needs and wants
- Make financial goals for the needs and wants to enjoy your life
- Keep a financial safety net
- Pay yourself first is always a rule of thumb
Changing is not that easy does in many cases take time. I can tell you one thing if your interest is in magick and ritual then change is something one must adapt at will rather than be controlled by passion that can lead one into blind madness. But you need not be a magi to know that a New Years Resolution requires discipline no matter what you vow to. Overcoming or attaining courage may take a few times and that’s all it’s about is sticking in there for the long haul so next year 2004 you can have a complete new list for the year of 2005!!!
