Happy New Year!!! I want to welcome you back to my health blog. Over the past several months we have all begun to experience the beginning of great change that the new year will bring to all of us. For most people these changes have been very exciting. They have given us a spark of hope and a sense of pride that we are making the right choices both personally and as a community to move towards a more peaceful, loving, accepting and caring civilization.
But change of any kind is generally never an easy one. In order to make way for the new, the old must be released. Change forces us to step out of our developed routines and lifestyle patterns to learn new things, have new experiences, meet new people, gain wisdom, grow spiritually and release what is holding us back. Change is the catalyst that forces us to transform even when we do not want to change. Like a caterpillar's metamorphosis into a beautiful butterfly so must we experience different life stages and changes in order to become something more.
The new year is a time of reflection upon our lives and a new beginning. A time to survey what is going right, what is successful, what is fulfilling, what is not so good, what is missing as well as a time to face hard truths about what needs to be changed.
