IT’S A WRAP

 2017 is coming to a close. As another year passes by, it’s always a time to reflect and set goals for the next year, and commit to a few New Year resolutions. Or not…

What a trap!

Really, resolutions and goal setting are NOT always good ways to get off to a positive start in the new year!

Why?

Did it work last year?

Did it work the year before?

I can without hesitation answer for myself, no.

Unless I am consciously mindful as I approach the New Year, I can set myself up for big disappointments. Don’t get me wrong; goals are good, and needed. But I have to be careful. I can easily and perhaps unconsciously let it become a scenario where I judge myself too harshly and feel bad if I don’t meet some arbitrary mark I set for myself. Or worse, I miss a mark that someone has set for him or herself. The ultimate trap – trying somehow to be as good as, or better yet, better than your friend, neighbor, or colleague!

You get the picture, right?

One of the most powerful and meaningful things I did for myself in 2017 is commit to daily meditation. I am a long-term non-demoniational spiritual seeker, and as I call myself now, a spiritual finder. Meditation has been part of that process, but it was a loose commitment. There’s nothing wrong with that, but last year was different. And it is all due to the most odd of helpers – an online meditation app.

As 2018 rolls in, I make just one commitment – to continue my onward spiritual progress and progress, and to meditate daily. I believe this is the greatest gift I can give my self and you, because everything else flows from there!

You might ask, what does this have to do with interior and landscape design? Everything!
