7 Simple Steps to a Sweeter You
By Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C.
With the winter holidays here and the New Year on the horizon, it’s the ideal time to take stock of where you are and where you'd like to go. In other words, it's invaluable to take a probing look inward and make some moves in the direction of your dreams. Ask yourself:
• Are you the kind of person you'd like to be?
• Are you achieving your heart's desires?
• How can you be kinder, better and sweeter?
• What traits and skills do you need to develop or cultivate to get to where you want to go?
Or let’s put it another way: It’s time to do some internal housecleaning. Since we’re human, each of us can always find something about ourselves to improve.
My clients have found that doing this kind of assessing and goal setting helps them to build confidence, achieve inner joy and love themselves.
Here are 7 areas to explore that can lead you to personal growth and transformation so you become a person you like, admire and respect.
1) Take delight. Do you view the glass as half full rather than half empty? Do you feel joy, delight and glee when you view a sunset, when you see trees, when your child looks at you with adoring eyes, when you first bite into an organic apple, when you walk down the street, or when you’re immersed in a project? Make yourself to look at the bright side of things. No one wants to be around a killjoy so concentrate on fostering that part of you that's childish, innocent, sweet and fun. Become the kind of person people love to be around.
2) Listen with zeal. Do you pay close attention to other people when they speak? Do you care about their worries, goals and fears? Or are too wrapped up in yourself? There’s nothing more annoying than someone who cuts you off in the middle of saying something. Challenge yourself to really focus on what people are saying. That way others will want to share with you more. Besides, you’ll like yourself better, too.
