Dear Reader,
Happy New Year! Right now many Americans are thinking about their New Year's resolutions - about how they will finally quit smoking, lose 20 pounds, or find a better job. Unfortunately, because of how people have been taught to eat, medicate themselves, and organize their lives, there is a good chance that this year will look a lot like last year.
Everyone has a predictable future, a future that will automatically occur by fitting in, following rules and moving along in life the expected way. If you are reading this newsletter, you are probably dissatisfied with your predictable future.
In my experience, people who avoid supermarket foods and chemicalized artificial junk foods, and who adopt a well-balanced diet and lifestyle develop a higher degree of creativity, flexibility and aliveness. These people are more able to move in unexpected directions. They develop the capacity and the curiosity to start fresh, to explore more creative careers, to begin a new relationship, to relocate to another area or to travel to distant lands.
Ask yourself, what is your predictable future? What would be an exciting future that you would love to have? How do you want your life to be in six months or by this time next year? Where are you holding back from starting to create that future today?
Remember, this is your one precious life. It's okay to take risks. The world is a safe place where everything happens in perfect synchronicity. The more we breathe, live in balance, and respect nature and ourselves, the more likely we will be in the right place at the right time, all the time.
Wishing you a very happy and healthy new year,
