participation into the next year and beyond.

This month's feature article deals with some "New Year's

Resolutions" you might want to try on. I hope you enjoy it.

I wish you and yours a very joyful and blessed holiday

season.

See you again in 2003,

Rachna

10 Tips to Live Your Best in 2003

All Rights in All Media Reserved

*Allow people & events to leave your life

Letting go is a necessary step in having more or better.

If someone or something wants to leave your life, allow

it to do so- knowing that it has fulfilled its role in

your journey. Begin to look ahead to what wonderful

possibilities might be on the way.

*Allow joy

Too often, we put off happiness and joy for the future.

Instead, wouldn't each day be more fun if we allowed joy right now?

*Allow time to rest & reflect

In our fast-paced society, we often run to keep up. Sometimes,

though, we can be much more productive and effective after

taking time to rest. Reflection is a necessary condition of a

conscious & intentional life. Make time for both.

*Allow yourself to not know

We can sometimes feel pushed to have all the answers- even

when we don't. The most successful people are those who can

continue to move forward, even in the face of ambiguity or

uncertainty. Try thinking of this as "I don't know- now."

rather than, "I won't know- ever."

*Allow forgiveness

The holidays/end of year is a great time to forgive yourself

and others. Let go of past mistakes, bad situations- start

the new year with a clean slate. Remember that you're always

doing the best you can with what you've got.

*Allow change

This is a tricky one. We seem to always believe that change

is bad. However, change just is- our perspective colors it.

If you can connect in with the larger flow and order of life,

you will find it much easier to allow change and have faith

that all is, truly, well.

*Allow new opportunities

Give up, even for a day, on the "usual way" of doing things.

Allow yourself to play with ideas, change your mind, say "yes!"

where you might normally say no. Fear less and allow more.

*Allow harmony

One of the most challenging experiences is to find harmony with

ourselves. We often feel that we need to be somehow better,

different, more, or that others have to change to please us.

Now- make a commitment to harmony and feeling good above all

else. Your self perception & close relationships will change in

miraculous ways.

*Allow health

Historically, many people set resolutions around health/wellness-

creating elaborate plans for gym attendance and weight loss.

Instead, try allowing health and wellness in from the inside out.

Decide how it would feel to be healthy, first, and allow this

feeling to guide your actions. Notice all the ways in which you

are already extremely healthy- and maintain your gains.

*Allow play

Take time each day or week to be unfocused and out of action.

Use playtime to connect with your friend, partner, or children.

Lighten up. Laugh- A LOT.

In all these choices, you will create a fulfilling and abundant year

ahead. Happy Holidays, and good allowing!

Quotable Quote:

The art of living does not consist in preserving and

clinging to a particular mode of happiness, but in allowing

happiness to change its form without being disappointed in

the change; happiness, like a child, must be allowed to grow

Up.

~~Charles Morgan (1894-1958)
