There are two weeks to go till the end of this year, in those moments when we have evaluated how the year ending was, reviewing if we accomplished our new year´s resolutions.
The truth is that most of us do not meet all goals, which makes us feel guilty somehow. We are sorry for the kilos that we did not lose –even we gained some- for the business we did not close, for the opportunities that we let go, for the kisses and hugs we did not give, for places that we did not go, for the words we did not say, for the workout we did not do, because we did not do what we said we would do and that weighs in the form of guilt ……
We spend our precious time with thoughts of self-hate, of not feeling good enough, of not deserving good things, of feeling not worthy enough and this diminishes increasingly our self-esteem and confidence almost imperceptibly, but over the years accumulates until it can emerge in the form of not achieving what you want in life, not having the life you dream, the career you love, the body you yearn, the soulmate you crave. This leads us to a state of unhappiness, bitterness, frustration that if it´s not cared can become a real apathy and even depression in extreme cases.
We are not perfect, nobody is, but we live and intend things that possibly are beyond our control, things that we may not even want. We really do not wish things, we desire feelings, we want to feel a certain way. For example you do not wish to have a great body, what you want is to feel beautiful, sexy, or am I mistaken? What good would it be nice, attractive and sexy if you do not feel so and you feel totally miserable. What we really want is to feel good, be happy, be abundant, do what we love and that will bring us feelings that we want to have. So I ask you, how you want to feel in 2015? What feelings and desires are those what you want to bring into your life: love, peace, creativity, fulfillment, prosperity, growth, contribution, connection, etc, etc.
Most women focus on what we failed rather than on what we achieved, and believe me you will be amazed of the things you accomplished in 2014.
Today I want to propose an exercise that will elevate your spirit, that will make you feel much better about yourself. Make a list of all the achievements you had this ending year, both in your personal life and in your career, do not leave anything out. At the end mark the most relevant 5 things.
Celebrate your achievements, acknowledge what you did. When you do that your confidence level rises, your self-esteem goes up, you feel better and when that happens you start acting and attract good things into your life. Rejoice because you have already accomplished many things in your life. If you live with joy, you will attract into your life more reasons to be cheerful.
Save this list in a special place and when you think you’re not good enough, give it a read again, will help you feel better !!!
Live with Joy !!!!
