Motto for the Year

I love this time a year; it is like getting a clean slate and starting over. Yes you CAN do that anytime of the year but I have a fresh, clean calendar in front of me that is completely empty! How often does that happen? I have 359 days in front of me - 24 hours a day to spend any way I want. I make resolutions every year but I try to make them things I can accomplish by channeling my energy in that direction.

My motto this year:

NO JUNK

I think this has application to all aspects of my life. I define junk as anything that keeps you from having the life you want, anything that isn't used and just accumulates, things that aren't good for you and leave you feeling unhappy, little things that take the place of more important things, that eat time and keep you from reaching your goals.

I want to focus my energy on worthwhile, positive things. I want to be more careful about what I let into my house, my home, my mind. I want to stop collecting things I may or may not use and focus on using what I have, taking better care of what I have and simplifying my life. I plan to use my time more wisely, to focus more on people not things. To focus on the future not today and to stop letting things accumulate.

I will use what I have and buy less. I will limit what I buy for myself and/or my children. I will live with less and do more. I will not let JUNK (dirt,clutter,negative thoughts/feeling/words,unhealthy things or people) be a part of my life. I will fight against it.

I will finish those creative projects that are sitting around in boxes or corners and doing nothing....becoming junk as it gets further and further from my mind.

I have A LOT to do...
