InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
January 1, 2025
The focus for today is:
I start the year with one step --
one change that I'd like to implement.
Today's inspiration was written by Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com:
As many of us know, New Year’s resolutions, while they may start out strong, can tend to wane as the month of January goes on. And the first thing we know, we've “fallen off the wagon”.
And then the guilt and self-judgment and blame kick in, and we sabotage ourselves by feeling bad about our actions (or inactions) and we start a vicious cycle of negative judgmental self-critical energy and the resolutions start to feel like burdens instead of goals.
So why does this happen? Are we lazy? Is our will weak? Don’t we want to change “enough”? Here’s what Joseph Selbie shares in his book The Physics of Miraculous Healing: “Surveys have shown that most people do not achieve any of their New Year’s resolutions because, in their enthusiasm, they take on too much change at once.” So, don’t overburden yourself at the start of the year. Start with one step, only one change that you’d like to implement.
