I kicked off the new year reading a couple of books with more spiritual biases: Proof of Heaven and Unbroken (highly recommended). While they are both very different yet true stories, their messages were similar: love, patience and positive thinking can help you get through anything and allow you to enjoy your life despite adversity. It's a message that probably a lot of people already know. But like many things, you need to learn it on your own to know it.
To maintain this inner learning, I plan to do more yoga and take up acupuncture. I am on a mission to not stress from work as much as I did last year too. I have adopted a new work mantra: be patient with yourself, you are doing the best you absolutely can and if you can't get to it today, tomorrow will have to be ok. I have a theory that the less you 'care' about work, the more success you have. I'll let you know how that goes.
2013 is the year of the snake (same as my birth-year - and I'm going to take it as a sign that it's going to be a good year)... More specifically, the black snake. No wonder I've been so focused on black. I picked up a versatile black cami from Madewell - perfect for slithering around the office under jackets at work, but flattering tucked in to a skirt or over skinny jeans for weekend.
2013 will be a year of rebalancing and learning for me... What will it be for you?
