Why the New Year is a great time to make changes

For most of us, the holidays are so full of activities and requirements that we can no longer live our lives the same way. The distractions and influences are so powerful, they pull us out of our reality.

Eventually the holidays end and we go back to our normal lives, but now something is different. Our reality has been disrupted and is a little unsettled. This creates an opportunity to change both our reality and our lives. This opportunity for change gets magnified by the fact that we are entering a new year.

Subconsciously, a new year represents a new beginning. This makes change even easier. If we don’t seize this opportunity and make the changes we want, we will go back to our old reality and repeat the past.

So what changes do you want in your life? How do you want your life to be? What problem areas do you want to get resolved? What passion do you want to pursue? Take a few minutes and do some daydreaming on how you want your life to be. This is important because getting clear on what you want opens a door to new possibility.

Another suggestion is to make a list of all the areas of your life that don’t work and start the process of handling each one. Most of these areas can be resolved with a little effort. Other areas seem to stick around no matter what we do. We feel powerless and unable to do much about them. Fortunately, these areas can also get resolved.

Difficult areas can get resolved because ultimately, they are not the problem. They are the symptom. Whenever an area of life isn’t working, there is an underlying condition that is fueling the problem. We are fighting the truth of the way something is. Instead of focusing on what needs to be done based on the facts of the situation, our focus is on fighting the situation.

This creates a state of fear, upset and tunnel vision. It destroys our ability to find solutions and it forces us to act in a way that magnifies the problem. The moment you surrender to the truth and focus on what need to be done, solutions appear and this area of life starts clearing up.
