I am officially excited for 2017. December brought with it crippling emotions. Feeling the ever looming cloud of grief is incredibly exhausting. It is as though I’ve been a victim to my sorrowful thoughts. Wondering if the carousel would stop. Then I remembered, I am Talesha Carter and I know exactly how to stop this round and round, looming cloud.
It was a particularly restless night of tossing and turning. While my mind was racing with thoughts and seemingly unanswerable questions my heart faintly spoke up. It said, “You want to feel better? Then change your thoughts.” Have you tried to change your thoughts? It is an eye-opening experience, to say the least. Your conscious mind puts up a bit of a defiance while your subconscious mind squeals with jubilance.
I started saying power statements of I have worth, I am peaceful, I accept and feel love, and I am a generous giver and excellent receiver. My days began to be filled with more love and less sorrow. Do I still feel the round and round of a carousel? You bet, but I’m not letting it control me. I am in control of me.
I decided, after this restless night that my words were going to create courage. This New Year my goals are going to come in words of intention. They will help me develop into the person I am striving to become.
I am going to:
- Show PRESENCE. Give quality attention to the moment and set dedicated business hours.
- Express GRATITUDE. Write one hand written letter a month to someone who has shown kindness my way.
- Be DISTINGUISHED. Make the first page of results on a Google search for Reiki Utah and serve clients in more meaningful ways
- Display IMAGINATION. Learn the art of storytelling and create my own stories to tell my children once a week.
- Allow JOY. Say declarations everyday and write my negative thoughts.
- Have COURAGE. Create a group mentoring class by April 2017.
- Sparkle with WARMTH. Ask meaningful questions and listen without interruption.
A quote I love is, “If you do what you always did, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” Emotional health is usually not a focus until our physical health becomes distressed. Take the time this year to focus on you and do something different. Registering for my mentoring packages, have regular Reiki sessions, or take my Reiki classes these will all make a mind-blowing difference. Let 2017 be your year of triumph.
With love,
Talesha
