As we welcome 2009 and are almost half way throught the month of January, some of us have already let the resolutions slide out of our minds. With the same vigor that we made a decision to change a certain habit or other challenge, we find ourselves countering that decision, telling ourselves we'll do it next year, life ain't so bad as it is now.
So what did we do? Or rather, what did we NOT do?
I, for one (I won't use the excuse that I'm a woman and therefore have that perogative)know from experience that my New Years' resolutions don't even make it past the first week into the new year, so during the beginning of the festive season in 2008, I made a choice to NOT make any resolutions.
It felt so much better! The agony of knowing I was going to have to change something was not there. The guilt of knowing I probably wouldn't be capable of holding on to my resolution was not there....oh boy did I feel free!
And then the weirdest thing happened...what I decided NOT to do as a resolution, I did and am doing with hardly any effort on my part :) Now why is this? The answer is simple.....I let go.
When the conscious mind is no longer stressed with having to change, a space vacuum occurs, and the laws state that each vacuum must be filled, so the sub conscious mind can then ease its way into that very vacuum and cause the wanted change anyway.
Isn't that brilliant!?!
Still, though it's a simple process, it's a challenging one all the same. Usually when we try to let go, we only end up getting frustrated and filled with worry that we aren't letting go fast enough or are not doing it right...hence we hold on to it more tightly and letting go becomes even more difficult.
We have to figure out HOW, and humans just love to know HOW, to let go.
I can't take all the credit though. Since December 2008 I am working with a life coach who is teaching me stuff in a delightful and easy way that I feel I am finally going to where I desire to be, emotionally. If you would like to know more, please visit http://life-procoaching.com/blog/ and I invite you to subscribe to the newsletter. For those who may think this is an affiliate link, nope, I will not earn a single dime if you click on that link, I just feel so good and I want to share one of my main reasons why I do with you,that's all.
But fair is fair. Don't expect all your troubles and worries to magically disappear if you do begin to work with a life coach, mine or anyone elses'. Realize that a good part of it comes from what you yourself do and think.
Enjoy the following video, I find it very appropriate for what the world is experiencing right now.
Till next time!

The Disappearing Act
Many of you have written to me to ask what happened to the October issue of Eden&Elle Magazine and an explanation is long overdue.
As you may or may not know I sometimes work with other photographers and for the October issue I had again decided to give another photographer a chance to publish his work in Eden&Elle. Unfortunately, this person bailed out on me at the very last minute leaving me with no photo shoot to publish and as you know, Eden&Elle differeniates itself due to the photos of 'everyday' women.
Along with that, the main database with all the technical data and information crashed and all the articles that had been edited and were ready for publishing were lost.
And since 'bad' things seem to happen in threes (as the saying goes here in Belgium) that same pc was hacked and several passwords and other delicate information was lost, making it technically too challenging for me to get the October issue of Eden&Elle out on time.
Since the data was 'lost' (or hidden somewhere), I also couldn't get into the subscribers lists and it has taken until today to get everything back in working order.
I trust that you will eagerly be anticipating the arrival of the November issue and can promise you it will be a fun packed, uplifting and true to the heart of you all issue.
To end this week......
Often we are told that in order to change our lives all we have to do is change our thoughts. In theory that is simple but in practice all too many of us find this very difficult and challenging to do. So how do we get rid of our negative thoughts?
The video below shows you HOW you may be able to do this the 'easy' way!
Enjoy!
