NEW YEAR'S INTENTIONS WITH A TWIST!
(Outline of Sonoran Living Segment 2)
It's that time again to choose our New Year's resolutions and intentions! How about a resolution with a twist this year?  Most people choose the standard: lose weight, get organized, quit smoking, exercise, but how about working on the core of who you are? How about starting the change from within?
When we change the way we see/be in the world, everything changes around us for the better! So with that, let's start our New Year with personal empowerment.  When we generally feel better about who we are inside and how we show up in the world, our anxiety decreases, we think clearer, we are more positive and happier!  Working on the "inside" directly manifests change on the "outside".

1. Fill your world with positive people - There are so many wonderful people in this world to keep company with. It has been said we are the sum of the five people we spend the most time with. Surround yourself with people who empower and support you!

2. Ask questions - No more assumptions. Remove the fear of asking questions. Our assumptions are only our perception of reality. They are interpretations of words and behaviors and oftentimes they are incorrect. When in doubt, ask! Say good-bye to unwanted drama.

3. Love yourself - Embrace and love all parts of you! Outside compliments only pass through us. Self love makes a home and stays. When we love ourselves fully, we take better care of ourselves and we make better choices!

4. Fully express your authentic self - No more holding back! Celebrate WHO you are! Dance and sing if you desire! Wear clothing that expresses your personality! Embrace all aspects of your self expression and be willing to show the world the authentic, unique and wonderful you!

5. Set healthy boundaries - Know inside what is good for you and what is not. Be willing to say "no" when necessary without guilt. It's about teaching people what works for us and what doesn't. Be willing to show other the best way to love you!

6. Share your love - We all have an abundance of love to give, but many of us hold back out of fear of being hurt. Be willing to be a light in the world! Express your love to others. It may be a smile, a hug, a gentle word… Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Share what you have! Give the gift of your love! What we give freely we get back two-fold!

Wishing you all a life of joy and abundance for 2011!
