We're three weeks into January, so brace yourself for what has become an annual tradition. Psychologists around the globe will declare today Blue Monday, 'officially' the most depressing day of the year! Why? Well it depends who you listen to, but the list goes something like this:
- It's a Monday - a bad start on the Road to Happiness for many
- The excesses of the Christmas season have taken their toll on many waistlines, credit cards and energy levels
- The weather is dismal, and likely to get worse before it gets better
- Most people's New Years Resolutions, launched in such a blaze of hope, are by now a distant memory
- For many people, 2011 is already starting to feel a lot like 2010, and not in a good way...
I could go on, but you get the idea!
Now if you've been reading this blog for the last three weeks, and you've taken just the few minutes necessary to play with the activities I've suggested and the questions I've asked, you'll recognise this as absurd. And you'll already be noticing the small but significant shifts that follow when you connect with Who You Really Are and what you really want. But if you're new here, no problem. It doesn't have to be New Years Day for you to enjoy a fresh start.
Just remember that, for every "most/many/majority" you hear about, there is a "some/few/minority" you don't: People who find reasons to be cheerful whatever day of the week it is. People who enjoyed their celebrations and are now enjoying bringing their health and wellbeing back into alignment. People who carry 'sunshine' around on the inside whatever the weather on the outside. People who have decided that 2011 will be their best year yet, and are making sure and steady progress on their Journey.
Are you ready to become one of the 'minority'? If so, grab your pen and a good-looking, good-feeling notebook you can use as your Travel Log. Then click through to the post from 1st of January, and work your way forward from there. After all, by definition, there are already more than enough people in the 'majority'...
"The truth, the hope in any time, must always be sought in minorities." Ralph Waldo Emerson
