In This Moment . . .

 

"All you are, right now in this moment, is enough."

I make resolutions, or goals, every year on my birthday instead of New Year's.  This year is no different.  They may sound a little cliche and foofy, but this is really how I am trying to live my life.

The first thing is living my life in gratitude.  I have so many things to be thankful for.  Of course there are the big ones like my family, friends and my health.  It is so very important for me to acknowledge the good in my life instead of focusing on the stress.  It just makes life easier.

Living a life of love.  This may sound simple, but it's harder than it seems.  Sometimes it is hard for me to forgive when I've been hurt deeply.  But I have found that the more love I give, the more I receive, be it friendships, partners, or family.  I'm trying to be love in all that I do.  It just takes so little energy to be kind and have an open heart. 

So, that's pretty much it.  It's a work in progress and that's most of the fun.  Sometimes the hardest tweaks to a lifestyle are the most important.

Oh ya, I might try to quit smoking this year too . . . I think it's about time.

Love always,
Nik
