A Fun Year

So what if I was to say that 2017 is going to be amazing!

Doesn't that make you feel great even if it's only for an instant before you turn on your skepticism? Admit that reading that first sentence gave you a moment of optimism. It's affirmative and positive, confident and encouraging. Those are good things. So don't turn on the negative just yet. This year is going to be amazing.

I know because I am not stopping with a statement. It will not only be a sentence I happened to write at the beginning of a new year. It will be a starting point, a place to instigate and initiate the things that will turn this year into whatever I decide to make of it and why wouldn't I want it to be amazing.

How do I know this? Simply because I can plan and decide. The first thing to do is to simply decide what you want to do. Think about it, make a short list, write it down. Just put whatever you think about and don't worry about whether they are do-able or not. Look at what you have and then break each item down into small steps of how you might be able to get them done. Don't make it hard. These should be mini-steps to keep it fun. You are wanting to do these things so they should be enjoyable.

Decide to proceed with your mini-steps. Try them out. See how they work. Decide when you will revisit your list. Decide what is working and what needs to change in order to make it work better. Stay with it. Remember it's suppose to be fun.

What if a few or even one of these things worked. Wouldn't that make you happy? You would be pleased, glad, and even cheerful. Let that moment stay with you. It's encouraging, and upbeat and can make other things seem brighter or less disagreeable.

Isn't that amazing? You are worth a few minutes to think about what you want. It could be fun.
