We’re coming up on the end of the year of our Lord 2016 and while I’ve decided not to make any sweeping resolutions this year, I have decided to streamline my life in several ways in order to progress. Sometimes I know we feel stagnate, as if we can’t change things or move them forward. I’m forever in a state of reminding myself that I am not a tree, I am mobile and free-thinking. And truthfully, even trees can be uprooted and moved. It might shock them a little, but they can survive.
I want to shock myself. Do you want to shock yourself?
Maybe that’s the best resolution we can make for ourselves for the new year. No fad diets that die away in a month, no pressure on other areas of our lives. Let’s just shock ourselves by moving into whatever direction we want our lives to move in. We are not trees. But if some of us feel like trees, we’re still mighty forces of nature that can be uprooted, moved, replanted and still survive, regrow and continue to thrive.
Here’s to a shocking 2017!

PS: If I were a tree, I’d be a Willow tree, all whispy in the wind, unable to sit still. #accurate
