Every year around this time, I invite members of this community to
stop and reflect on the positive changes they've made in their lives.
This week we've reached that half-way mark and it's time to
acknowledge the changes you've made thus far. Remember, the quality
of your life is directly related to the quality of relationship you
have with yourself. When you feel good about who you are, you allow
better things -- people, experiences, jobs, opportunities, etc., into
your life. Taking the time to
inventory your positive changes is an important step in developing
this stronger relationship. And it's a key way to reinforce good habits!
If you've been in our Life Makeover community from the beginning of
the year, you might want to review this year's newsletters to help
you remember the changes you've made. If you're new to the community
(welcome!) don't worry. Answer the following questions anyway. You
can review past newsletters by visiting our archives here.
Using the past newsletters as a guide, reflect on the last six months
by asking yourself the following questions:
- How have I honored my main resolution for this year?
- What positive changes have I made so far?
- How have I taken better care of my body, my mind, or my heart?
- How have I been a better partner, spouse, friend, or co-worker?
- What qualities of character have I developed? Am I more patient,
generous, focused, or financially responsible?
- How has my environment improved? Have I cleaned up my home or
office, challenged myself to throw things out, or added more beauty to my life?
- What have I done to help others improve the quality of their lives?
As you consider these questions, build a strong foundation for
success by focusing on what's worked instead of focusing on what
still needs to change. When you acknowledge your growth, you build
self-respect and self-trust - two key ingredients that will support
you in making healthier choices for you and your loved ones from this point on.
The greatest gift we give to humanity is our commitment to constantly
raise our level of consciousness. Each week, as you take one simple
step to live a healthier, more creative life, you do just that. This
is important work and you deserve to celebrate your success. So, be
sure to complete our weekly challenge. Congratulations!
