beth - Great start, Nina! Which resolution do you intend to focus on first? What ever you do each day, devise a trigger event and sometimes a reward it helps motivate. Excellent intention.

chironarts - O.K. Here goes. Breathing deep and strong. My finances are turned around this year to an upward swing by my taking action every day doing one positive effort ( much like painting) ie marketing, networking, clearing – becoming more Zen in my lifestyle… . God and Beth as my witness. (Thank you, Both!)
Amen

And blessings to All on your 2010 journey!

bethvw - Hi Mary, thank you!
A couple of times a week at the gym is great.
Keeping fit makes my energy level for everything else improve as I do more.
I Know that you are into meditation. Do you also do yoga?
Keep me posted!

mary | GoodlifeZEN - Lovely post, Beth!
I’m working hard on bringing my fitness up and want to improve and maintain my fitness in this coming year. I”m not exactly a gym bunny but have learned that going to the gym a couple of times a week gets all the necessary strength training done.

Breathing space into cracks of time

ave you found that there is never enough time to actually accomplish all that you “desire” to do?
Sometimes I get up in the morning with a list a mile long that is leftover from yesterday. How many times have I put off painting or drawing for other things that seem more important? How long have I been promising myself that I will revisit learning French, write a note to someone, bake bread or visit an old friend? It just seems that it is easier to take the habitual road than to break new ground.

beth - @ Nina , Ooh I’m so glad you stopped in! What are you imagining lately?

@Fred I have trouble imagining that. You are doing this all tonight? Let me know how it is working for you. As I wrote this I was thinking about that experiment with the fly in the glass jar. You put plastic wrap over the top opening and after bumping his head enough, the fly doesn’t go near the top any more. After you remove the plastic wrap, he doesn’t understand that he can get out! Sometimes I think that is what we do to ourselves. We are so used to living with a certain set of limitations that we do not see opportunities when they present themselves. let me know how it goes with acting as if…

fred - Hey Beth
Great ideas. At first I thought I would start tomorrow. But how typical that would be of me. I am going to put some of your ideas into action tonight. Thanks!
Fred

Nina - FABULOUS!!!!
