5 Things to NOT Do in January

5 Things To NOT Do This January    Happy New Year!   The way society tells us to approach January is often damaging for people’s energy! This is meant to be a guide to approach January in a way that is helpful & healthy. #1: DO NOT Envision Your Absolute Dream Year  Dreams are beautiful & you should steer towards them, but big dreams take time! It will not manifest in one year's time. Have it be steps towards that dream, not the ENTIRE dream smashed into one year. #2: DO NOT Create a Plan with No Tested Experience If you do this, you basically created something in a vacuum, & it may not go as planned. If you have a new idea, instead of making this entire plan built around it, take this idea & try it in a small way & see how it goes.  #3: DO NOT Make a Complicated To-Do List  Do not let your hyper motivated January energy make you feel constricted the rest of the year. Instead make a general map so you are not locked in to a to-do list that may not ring true for you the rest of the year. Picture that you are making a list for a friend. #4: DO NOT Spend Most of the Month in Your Head Thinking  January is still winter, actually deep winter! We are still supposed to be resting, hibernating, & preparing for the coming Spring. To actually shift to a “hurry up & figure all this out” mode is actually not very good for you. Notice your thoughts & inspirations, but do not feel you need to make them happen immediately. #5: DO NOT Check Out This is such a human action, but by fully checking out, you are not giving any opportunity to some magic that might happen. You need to have some routines & discipline, but this does not need to be full time. #6: DO NOT Just Pray  Part of working with the Spirit is taking action. If you only pray, you are not allowing the Spirit to make the magic happen by boosting your action.
