A new year means a fresh slate. Many people say it is a good idea to start the year with a fresh perspective and focus on how to put\u202fyour\u202fbest foot forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a Buddhist parable called\u202fThe Second Arrow. The story explains that in life, things that don\u2019t go the way we desire is inevitable. This is likened to being shot by an arrow \u2013 an instance which is outside of your personal control.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The option of pulling out that arrow and then complaining about the event is entirely on you. This is referred to as the second arrow. Here are a few tips to help you with that second arrow so you start the year with a clean slate as opposed to leaving remnants of those first arrows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice Gratitude<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being truly grateful assists you in fresh perspective and putting your best foot forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a No \u201cWhat Ifs\u201d Rule<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spinning on what\u202fmight have been\u202fkeeps you from moving forward. Your thoughts may seem to circle back again and again to the things you think you could, or should, have done differently. When you catch yourself thinking a \u201cwhat if,\u201d just recognize that you didn\u2019t, and move forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Physical<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a weightlifting or yoga class or give one-foot barn cleaning or ballroom dancing a go. When you choose an activity that requires your focus to balance or to learn a sequence of motions, your brain will be busy doing something other than ruminating on arrow one. I really need to get this incorporated into my life in 2023.  Stay tuned for how that goes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a To-Do List<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a plan for today keeps you from feeling ungrounded. If you fill your day with\u202fmeaningful tasks<\/a>, you will have something to keep you from focused forward and grounded. This takes time, but the payoff is seriously worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, Happiness is a Choice<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In every moment, you have the choice to be happy. Victor Frankl, Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist who survived the Holocaust and founded the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy, is said, \u201cEverything can be taken from a man but <\/strong>one thing: the last of the human freedoms\u2014to choose one\u2019s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one\u2019s own way.\u201d If you are choosing your old perspective as a pattern, consciously make the decision to replace it with a fresh perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with a Mantra or Affirmation<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your day begins with a thought like, \u201cToday is the first day of the rest of my life,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m excited for what today will bring,\u201d it keeps your focus on the present and future. Choose a\u202fpositive affirmation<\/a>\u202fto start each day. One of my favorite gifts during the last year was a set of Daily Prayer cards given to me by a friend who lost her husband too early as well.  Each card is a very short Bible verse focused on the good God provides.  I would say those cards have helped my perspective each day more than anything. It does work. Try it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perspective \u2013 yours, mine and others \u2013 are all equally important. Take the time to know them all so you can ensure yours is fresh.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
