Today is 1/1/ 2014. This time of year is always good for reflection. Reviewing the past and getting clear about what you want to be, do, and have in the New Year.  We all have different goals and priorities. One of mine is to be more Awake in 2014. Present, grounded, and connected with Source. A great goal but how does one achieve this?

I realized something, I love to listen to great teachers whose words inspire me.  There are certain films, books, and music that uplifts my Spirit. My walks in nature connect me to something bigger then myself and ground me. Meditation and daily spiritual practices keep my energy high. Observing my thoughts and words and choosing one’s that are positive and expansive make a difference.  The common element here is me. I am making the choices in  every  moment to Awaken! All of this is happening within me. Awakening is an inside job! Anyone can do this. All you have to do is discover the things you enjoy, that inspire and uplift your Spirit. Choose at least two things to do for 30 days that make you feel more present and connected to your true Self and Source. This does require focus and commitment. But in the end you too can Awaken with ease in 2014! Happy New Year!
