reverb remix : conscious entry

10. Conscious Entry. How do you wish to be in 2014? 

Having a birthday just after the New Year is kind of like having DOUBLE the New Year's fun. At least, that's how I'm going to start looking at it (now that I've had enough therapy to recover from the years of merrychristmashappybirthday presents). I had intended on posting this yesterday, on my actual birthday – but I spent the majority of the day driving Hope to Montreal (for her flight back to Halifax). 

Anyway. In 2014, I want to be (in no particular order)…

Happy – more often than not. I'm okay with sadness, and I don't believe in faking it. However, I do think that happiness is often a choice…and I want to choose it more often. 

Successful – in my work, in my freelance work, in my relationships, in my goals, etc. I want to be in the game. 

Mindful – although I berate myself for a less-than-consistent meditation practice, and pain has derailed my yoga practice…I do recognize that I am a more mindful person than I was 5 years ago. I want to continue to develop that skill, and those practices. 

Prosperous – simply putting the universe on notice for this one.

Healthy – my first 2014 acupuncture appt is scheduled. I'm returning to the gym tomorrow. I will listen to what my body needs for fuel (see mindful above). I will take my supplements. 

Satisfied – my brother & I sat down to eat dinner tonight…one of my favorite recipes from 101cookbooks.com. As we ate, I said "I really love this salad." I was satisfied….with the meal, with my cooking, with the moment. I want more of that.

Adventurous – not sure what this really looks like, but I like the sound of it. 

I'm sure that I'll add more to this list over the coming weeks/months….and that's exactly how it should be, right? Dynamic. Evolving. Changing. Moving forward. Hello 43…I've got some plans for you.

This wraps up the Reverb Remix13 project. Thank you SO very much for sharing this journey with me.
