Letting Go Of Our Bad Habits

What better time then now to let go of the habits that aren't working for us anymore? We are so used to going back to doing things that make us feel comfortable. Not that they are good for us but we've done them for so long that we react with our eyes closed. Why are we then surprised when we end up with the same negative outcome. We may even go over our experience wondering where did we go wrong. But when we are put in the same situation, we are determined to have history repeat itself. If it wasn't so sad, it would be very funny. But since this is happening to us, not someone else, we really need to work on moving forward. Know that there is a time and place for our habits, but when they begin to hurt us and others, we need to take a closer look at them and create new ones. Our lives have changed over the years and we are at a different place then we used to be. If we are determined to cling to the past, our future will move on without us. Today, if life is moving too quickly for you,slow down and take a deep breath. Live the life that you choose to live, don't be a victim of circumstances. We are all interconnected, so be loving and kind to yourself and others. This is a time for creating new traditions and habits that truly reflect who you are at this moment.
I think it's time to throw away last year's tree...

(Just like this Xmas tree, we sometimes hold on to things a little bit too long. When our habits begin to hurt ourselves and others,
we need to re-evaluate how well they are working.
Let's end the year with positive beginnings.)
