After the year we survived and now through the year we thrived.

What a ride. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling a sense of urgency in my life these days.

I feel a need to put what matters most in my life first.

I feel a growing desire to make my life matter.
Each moment and each day.

As we enter this next year, I want to fill it with treasured moments, things that are priceless in my eyes, and good and genuine people! With this growing need it leads me to make a strong decision… nay a resolution.

But what is a resolution?

Webster’s states that a New Year’s Resolution is a promise to do something differently in the New Year.

I like that definition.

But can I challenge you… can I challenge us all to go one step further?

Can I challenge us to be better, to choose better for ourselves?

The premise I was raised on is, "You have a choice" good, better, or best!
That was my choice.

As a child I hated these words. I hated the idea that whatever I was currently choosing to do was not even on the board with my mother’s, "good, better, best."

Now as an adult I can see the freedom in making a good decision, in being given the opportunity to change my decision to something that could enrich my life, rather than just be. To make a good choice, a better choice, or the best choice for myself in that situation...

So, with that, I would like to pass on my knowledge which was passed down to me from a long line of wise women.

Let’s step into this New Year making choices rather than resolutions.
Making a resolution is stated as a firm decision to do or not to do something.

That sounds good but what if my resolution starts out as one thing and my life takes a turn by January 25th!? Then what? My spirits fall and I am inevitably discouraged.

This one little shift could derail my year. So then, what if I went into my New Year with choices!
What if I decided to make a good, better, or best choice for me and my family in the moment?
Would I feel more in control over my New Year... over my hopes and plans for the coming year?
Would I feel freedom to make changes rather than discouraged by the roadblock that seems insurmountable?

Well, I sure hope so!

So, with all that here are some fantastic choices to make this year.

Make more time for yourself, you can’t pour out what you don’t have.
Get more quality sleep. Sleep heals the body and the mind.
Find a physical activity that you enjoy, try something new. (Smash ball anyone!?)
Eat more whole foods, and with that, cook more at home.
Spend more time outdoors, take the pooch for a walk or the baby for a stroll.

All in all, fill your life with love and laughter ~
That is the best choice anyone can make for themselves!
