It's the Simple Things

My "Theme" for 2021

Theme for 2021
 
Last year, about the 8th January, I posted my theme for 2020. Little did I know how the year would pan out when I was contemplating what would be useful and relative to my getting through the year. None of us truly knew what was coming down the line.
As I’ve explained in previous years, I don’t do Resolutions. They are far too specific and often hard ( if not impossible) to achieve.  Rather my theme is a way of being.
However, Stability (2020’s theme) served me in ways I hadn’t expected and I adapted it to my needs at any given time.  For example, I was shielding and decided that the garden was a good place to be. However, given my balance etc, I decided working on the various areas could only be done from the grass.  I fashioned a portable, waterproof cushion and got cracking.  I’d never have done the work if Covid hadn’t “clipped my wings”. It was slow, but the rewards were big. So, everything was done and the garden did look good when I’d finished.
Anyway, this year I was truly struggling to find a theme. I thought I had one but it was tilted towards the negative, so I abandoned it. Instead I decided to go for something simple, but positive.
My theme for this year is Thankfulness. And even if I’m struggling, as we all do, I have to find something to be thankful for.
When I’m grumpy, or tired, or in pain, I look for 1 thing to be grateful for. I usually find it faster than I had thought.  Don’t always feel inclined to find it, but its good medicine and it definitely has an effect on my mood!
My previous years are available to read if you wish. I have been doing them too long now to list them all, but happy to share if anyone wants to know the sort of things I’ve adopted in the past. Just ask.
As ever, would love to hear your take on this and whether you have a Theme.  Finally, and most importantly, happy 2021 to you all.
 

Themes instead of Resolutions for a New Year

1/8/2018

Well, it’s a little later than usual but this has been a festive season that has been quite different from the last few, in that I have been on the go since Christmas Eve and this is the first day I have been able to sit down to attack my "to do" list! 

Anyway, as in previous years I have adopted a "Theme" for 2018. Just to refresh your memory, these are not about specific objectives or tasks, as resolutions are, but rather a way of being.

So, 2018 is to be a FAB year! 

This stands for; 
Finances (manage and review); 
Activities (covering my physical health and socialising); and 
Business (promoting and expanding its base and my knowledge).

Previous years "themes" were:

2014 "Productive and Creative", both of which I adopted when I went about lots of my activities.

2015 Resolution: Purpose: Direction. As I searched for a new home and lifestyle, I think these words became my mantra to keep me going when things got tough or I felt despondent. They also covered lots of other things in my life too.

2016 ACE: Accept; Consolidate; Enjoy. 
Accept covers, physical, emotional and spiritual and not just in relation to me, but that of others, relatives, friends, strangers, clients etc. 
Consolidate is about putting down my roots and building on everything I have worked hard to establish over the last few years. 
Enjoy speaks for itself
As 2017 approached it was really interesting to see how successful I was in incorporating ACE into my life in 2016. It was definitely a challenging year in many ways and ACE certainly kept me focussed!

2017 was FLCR
F is for any Failure and Disappointments - learn from them then let them go!
L was Look Forward - keep my head up, look to the horizon and not at my feet.
C was Change - know that the only certainty in life is it WILL change.
R was Revel - in any successes, and celebrate the joys in my life.
I hope this post wasn't too long for you all and it gives you ideas to shape and keep focussed when "life" gets challenging. My Hypnotherapy is useful in helping me to relax and focus on what I need to do in my life, this compliments it. It works for me!!!
