December 2011

Are you stressed out? Is everyone getting on your nerves? Don’t want to get up and go to work in the morning?

Take a vacation! Don’t worry about packing your bags or saving up money or looking for flights or even finding some girlfriends to go with. Just call out of work.

So you may be thinking to yourself, where am I going then? You are going to take a vacation to nowhere. Take a vacation and go nowhere! Remind yourself of what makes you happy and what you enjoy doing. Take the time to eat at your favourite restaurants or go to the museum or catch a show/performance. Do all the things that you enjoy doing. Don't allow the stress and thoughts of your every day consume you.

I was recently feeling overwhelmed by LIFE. So I took a week off from work and lived for me. I took day trips into the city, photographed everyday, started new projects, and met with friends. I did all the things that I wanted to do, that I enjoyed.

Have you noticed the pattern? "I" is the keyword. It's all about you on this vacation to nowhere. Sometimes you need these to pull yourself away from the stresses of reality. You need these to help center yourself so you can put your best effort forward when it comes to your 9 to 5 or any other activity you do throughout your week.

Give it a try and see how it works for you. Also try journaling during your vacation time. If all goes well, dedicate a couple weeks a year to have a vacations to nowhere.

The New Year is approaching very fast and whether you’re ready or not 2012 is on the way.  Hopefully, we all will be in good health and get to experience another calendar year and have another opportunity at this phenomenon called LIFE.  The concept of New Years always impresses me because this whole new awareness of existence takes over every ones mental.  Every New Year you hear the drawn out speeches and statements of “new year, new attitude” and all of these changes people will do, and what they will and won’t tolerate, and yada yada yada. I can go on and on about the declarations people have for the New Year.  But to me, all I hear is clatter.  Why must we wait until the New Year to create change? Why must we wait until the New Year to make a difference in our lives or better yet in someone else’s life? What is so significant about the New Year that makes it different from This Year or Last Year? To me, the New Year is just a calendar date by mankind. (Shoulder shrug) Experiencing the New Year is seeing a new day which that itself is precious and therefore “change” should not wait for the New Year. Change should occur once you come to the realization that a transformation must occur. 

Many people make all these resolutions and by mid February, the diet is out the window, the goal is shattered and not built upon, and then…. wait….it’s a New Year to start all over again.  So if you’re one of those people that thrive in the “new year new attitude” syndrome, let that truly shine through this New Year and bring change to yourself and others.  Stick to the goals and resolutions that you may have set for yourself and keep pushing on until you’re satisfied with yourself!

Declare 2012 to be AWESOME

Declare to yourself to be HUMBLE

Declare to the universe to be ELEVATED

2012 Lets GO!!!!!

#LOVE #LIFE #PROSPERITY
