The word for 2016 was resiliency. And I found it. I endured it. I embodied it. I did my work. I figured some things out. And I didn't stop. I rested a few times, but I never stopped.
Yay!
Before 2016 ended I knew what I was going to focus on in 2017. ME!
To my surprise, I still had some clearing and healing to do on non physical levels in 2016. I don't know that it's all done (is it ever?), but I am much further along than I was a year ago.
And now, finally, I am putting my focus and attention on my physical health and well being. In a big way. I have been trying to get here for several years, but I guess I had to heal on emotional, mental and spiritual levels before I could bring it to my physical level. I get that now.
So, TRANSFORMATION, is my word this year. I am taking this on at a physical level. My goal is to FEEL BETTER. Everything else is bonus.
Part of my goals this year is to really understand food on a deeper level than calories, emotional comfort and convenience.
I went to a job interview one time for Panera Bread. One of their philosophies is about developing a relationship with food. I was struck deeply by this guiding principle. That is part of my goal this year.
I also want to deepen my own relationship with myself. For many years of my life, I sought sources outside of myself to provide me with the emotional care I craved. I have been working on this internal transformation for several years now. I am ready to see it unfold in the world around me.
All in all, I am very excited by the start of this year. No, things are not perfect. But I do not feel like I am on a carnival ride any longer.
