Happy New Year!!

 

In light of the tradition of creating resolutions at this time of year, I thought I'd send a short note of things to think about as you are doing so. 

 

Wishing you all the best in 2013!!

Blessings,

Just Say No to Status Quo!  

 

'Tis the season for new year's resolutions! Want to know why most of them don't last?

 

1. ADD

2. Lack of true importance

 

ADD

Most people know ADD as Attention Deficit Disorder. My definition, however, is different. With all due respect to those who have that affliction, what I see is that most people have a different kind of ADD. I call it "absence of discipline and determination."

 

Our psyche wants to stay the same, to maintain status quo. It will resist change with all its might. We must increase inner strength to overcome that resistance, and this power is only achieved through discipline and determination.  

 

Most people give up their resolutions because they are unwilling to push through the barriers erected by the stubborn psyche. (Barriers such as: "I don't feel like it!") What they fail to see is the gift the resistance provides: a new level of power, awareness, and self-certainty that is born of the soul-strengthening required to break through.

 

Lack of Importance

Another reason resolutions fail: the goal you've set is not as important as you think.

 

Soul growth is far more important than good looks, comfort, and financial success. Your soul doesn't care how much you weigh, how much you make, or how much fun you're having. It only cares that you become the best person you can be, from a Spirit perspective. All too often our resolutions are focused on outer improvements and tend to neglect inner growth. Focusing on one at the exclusion of the other is imbalanced; both are important and both can be included. But when we forget soul growth entirely, our inner knowing will cause us to fail at our outer goals.

 

Marianne Williamson says: "You're only job in life is to become an example of what's working."

 

Eckhart Tolle echoes her sentiment: "You are here to enable the Divine Purpose of the Universe to unfold. That is how important you are."

 

I hope you will take these messages to heart and bring discipline and determination to the important goal of your soul's growth as you move forward into the new year.  

 

Don't just resolve, evolve!!

Testimonials: 

"As a therapist who took this course for her own personal growth, I saw the potential benefits for my clients from the outset. The spiritual content and framework set forth by Patty compliments therapeutic work and could create shifts for clients who are stuck in victim-thinking, stuck in general, or provide clarity on meaning/purpose in life. In addition, I have found that my work with clients deepened and has been enriched by the experience." 

- M. Beddingfield, LPC

"I took this class because I wanted more serenity in my life. I was looking for tools to help me reduce my worrying and anxiety, and I got way more than I expected. The class provided a wealth of information on new ways to view myself and my life, and Patty framed it all in a way that really clicked for me. I am now able to connect with my soul's intuition and feel as though I'm really thriving instead of just living day to day. I was concerned about the spirituality aspect of the class, but found that this was the most helpful part of my experience - I have gained a spiritual connection that has grounded me and made me even more confident that I was before. It has given me a freedom that I never expected."
