New year, time to change

by Sarah Juliusson

The New Year is a wonderful opportunity to declare our resolutions with the best of intentions and the hope that maybe this will be the year . . . .

At the core, our resolutions are often based on our desire to reconnect, rebalance and renew. We’ve all seen friends who successfully make extraordinary changes in their lifestyle, relationships, and more. We know that resolutions can be met with success, but also require time, dedication and support.

In the busy life of motherhood making a commitment to a resolution isn’t always easy. The needs of family, work, and household can make it difficult to follow through. While stating our desire to change is of course, the first step, it is the following steps are where we tend to lose our way.

Here are a few practical ideas to help you have your best chance at success:

• Talk with a friend who has made a successful change - what helped?
• Share your resolution in a public way – Blog? Monthly e-mail updates? Support group?
• Ask friends to check in with you about your progress.
• Journal the ups and downs and strive to understand the underlying beliefs and patterns that can get in the way of successful change.

One of the best ways to support positive change in your life is to have a supportive circle around you. We are proud to be hosting a special New Years Mama Renew – three evening sessions in the month of January to help you explore the heart of self-care and living with intention. The cost is $90, including a custom Mama Renew journal. Starts Thursday, January 7th in downtown Vancouver. To register and for mor information, visit www.mamarenew.ca.

What is your next step to support you in living your best intentions in this fresh new year?
