February is a great time to evaluate what you’re planning to co-create this year and try to plan out how you’ll accomplish the rest of your list throughout the year.
How are you doing on your co-creating journey this year?
A friend said that February is really a great time to reset because the holidays are done and there’s not as much pressure to “resolve” to be better this year. And as much as I agree with her, I think it’s also a really great time to revisit your vision board.
I plan on editing my board as I’ve already had some great successes this year — for which I am incredibly thankful!
Here are some things I learned that perhaps you can incorporate into your planning for the rest of 2012:
Trust
Sometimes things are exactly what they seem. Sometimes they’re not too good to be true, sometimes if it looks, talks and seems real, it is. You have to trust that what is being presented to you — even if it feels a bit too good to be true — is what is supposed to happen at that point in time. My new apartment (that I’m moving into in February) seemed WAYYY too good to be true, but when I went to see it, which I was hesitant to do, it was absolutely everything I asked for, AND more! This taught me to trust that some people are actually true to what they say and that things are possible.
Patience
Good things come to those who wait. It sounds ridiculous — and truthfully, I have a hard time with this — but it is true. Things happen for a reason and when they’re supposed to — you can’t force something to happen. You have to wait and see. Unfortunately this often leads to a lot of stress. I am trying to simply give over my destiny to the universe every single day and hoping that will mitigate some of the stress. How do you stay patient on your journey to co-create? Share your tricks with me and I’ll let you know how they workout in March!
Faith
Faith and trust ARE two different things. You need to have faith in the people around you, the people you choose to share this life with. You have to have faith that they will be there for you — no questions asked and no guilt given. I have a very hard time asking people for help; I always feel that I’m a burden and this is something I plan to work on in February (and hopefully all year, although to be honest, I hope it doesn’t take all year to feel comfortable doing it!).
Honor Yourself
If you don’t want to go out, or don’t want to stay in, honor your needs. Be sure that you’re always checking in with what you WANT to do instead of what you feel you SHOULD do. The “fear of missing out” may seem like it’s over-hyped in the Media, but it is something we millennials suffer from. If you choose to stay in and see that friends are posting photos from an “epic” night, how do you feel? Sometimes it doesn’t bother me and other times it bothers me immensely. I am trying to figure out exactly how to honor my needs, the needs of my friends and keep everything balanced. This, in my opinion, is the key to a happy life.
What will you be co-creating for the rest of 2012? Will you be reevaluating your vision statements? Talk resolutions with me!
