Fearlessly release habits, patterns and situations that no longer work

I am finally back to my blog after being forced away for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, the hard drive on my laptop crashed out and it took me until after Christmas to get it back up and running. So, after a long hiatus, I am back at it.

The title of this post is, "fearlessly release habits, patterns and situations that no longer work." I am not a huge reader, or believer, in horoscopes but happened to read my horoscope for 2011 in last week's paper. According to my horoscope, this is supposed to be my theme for the year. Sounds good to me!

Really, this is partially what my list is all about. I am not 100% happy with what my life is like right now and I know that it will not change without making a series of changes in the ways that I live my life. I have begun this transformation by making a list of the things I want to do and mapping out the steps I need to do to accomplish these things.

And another important step to anyone for me is my theme for the year, fearlessly release habits, patterns and situations that no longer work. It sounds simple but this is probably one of the hardest things to do… change. But as Einstein said, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

And so, this is the year that I will be breaking the mould on all my poor habits. And in the process my goal for the year is to check a minimum of 20 things off my list. This will get me part of the way towards checking 40 items off by the time I am 40.

Happy new year to everyone and best wishes for 2011!
