Spring Into Action

Even though January is technically the start of the year, it is in the Spring when we consider it to be the real beginning for the year. It is in April when grass starts turning green, flowers begin to break through the dark soil and trees that have slept through the winter months create leaf buds, seemingly out of nothing. Let’s not forget mentioning all the baby birds and animals, that are embracing their first touch of the warm Spring sunshine.

I love Spring, and all the opportunities it has to offer. After the long, cold winter, I choose Springtime to re-evaluate my existing goals and possibly create some new goals. Finally getting around to those dusty goals that have gotten pushed to the back of the closet – you’d be amazed at the weight that is lifted away – and letting the airy feeling of Spring enter with renewed interest. What is it that you want to accomplish this year for yourself? Is it finally getting that 'eye sore of a room' cleaned out? Signing up for that course you've wanted to take for so long? Finally taking time for yourself - for real? Whatever your goal – this is the year to do it!

You know that feeling you get when you have a brilliant idea and your head starts spinning with all the possibilities – your heart beating fast, your breath quick, your growing excitement. This is the positive energy you need to harness in order to take that idea to reality. Visualize your goal/dream in action; picture it already a success; see yourself at the end reaping all the rewards. It is necessary to believe you have already accomplished your goal. When you believe it – You will achieve it!
