4.)  Continued…strive to be more understanding of opposite points of view. I will consciously choose to (always) breathe more deeply.

5.)  I will be more flexible, accepting of things that don’t go my way, and realize that I have choices – I create my own reality, and if I don’t like it, I am self-empowered and give myself permission to pivot and change my thinking toward a more positive outcome. (It’s all temporary).

6.)  I will focus on being pro-active, eliminate procrastination and set daily, weekly or monthly S.M.A.R.T. goals around life, career and business that are values-based and are measured against my stated objectives. Further, I will begin by acknowledging, assisting and/or genuinely complimenting 2 people per day. (When I fall short, I will recalibrate – no guilt).

7.)  I will meditate daily to visualize all 11 other tenets, and will add all good things that will allow me to improve and develop my natural talents to maximize how I personally make a positive difference in this world.

8.)  I will choose to practice patience and tolerance and will release the past. I will see people at their best, keep my word and choose to be happy, rather than right.

9.)  I will accept that I am responsible for what I see…my thoughts, and how I choose to perceive the world is my choice; either to be positive and provide solutions, or to be negative, cynical and resistant to change. Therefore, I will practice discernment and not be judgemental, nor defend perspectives that are not harmonic and “Whole-istic” to those I encounter. 

10.)  I will balance the pragmatism of things, be more creative and will trust my intuition.  

11.)  I will practice the true meaning of faith in myself and learn to understand that “Believing, is seeing.”

12.)  I will end each day in gratitude and deliberately review my successes in celebration of the positive momentum I’ve created toward my stated objectives.

FULL ARTICLE:

1. I will not make resolutions.  Instead, everyday I will practice “believing in” my sense of purpose, and in being more consistent with those things that positively add to the well-being and improvement of the following: my health, family, relationships, career, finances, mind-set and spiritual life. 
2. I will strive to sleep a minimum of 6 hours per day, exercise wisely and choose a healthy nutritional plan that aligns with how I want to feel and see myself. I will respect myself and others.
3. I will, upon awakening, choose as my first thoughts to be focused on feeling ease and “gratitude,” as I approach my day with positive intent and immediately focus on feeling excited and optimistic about the great things that I will accomplish today. (“I am the power of me.” No need to panic...“I can handle it.”)
4. I will develop Self-Awareness, be more disciplined and genuinely strive to be more understanding of opposite points of view. I will consciously choose to (always) breathe more deeply.
