Happy New Year
Here it is, no matter what else we’ve been up to or how fast it seems to come around, here is the new year, right when it was supposed to be.
It’s a great time of year to be thinking about what you achieved in the last 12 months and what you’d like to achieve in the next.
Remember the little spiders that throw their bottoms in the air and drift to wherever they do in order to set up home? Well, putting a few minutes aside to think about what you really want from the coming year can help you end up where you want to be, instead of where the wind takes your bottom.
I read a book recently about people who went to see a very eminent psychologist and the stories they shared. One particular chap had a ‘Satori’ moment where everything became clear and he summed it up by telling the therapist “I am not my shoes” which initially confused the very eminent professor type. The point was as simple as it comes; there is more to you than the clothes you choose to wear. It’s a point made in many an ancient Eastern philosophy that if parts of us are taken away for instance we lose a limb or we lose things like a job, a house or a person from our lives, we are still who we are – We more than the sum of our parts. We not our job. We are not even our legs or eyes. These are things in life which might be hard to lose but you are still you.
In life there are times when people criticise us. They might criticise what you wear or what job you do, they might criticise something you have said or done. There might even be things that ring true that we need to change. But the key point here is that whatever someone might say about your shoes…
‘YOU ARE NOT YOUR SHOES’
There is a core, inner sparkle, a constant flame that is ‘you’ and though we might lose sight of it from time to time – especially with the busyness of this time of year – that constant flame is always there and it’s the part of you that keeps you going when times get tough, even when you’re not aware it’s there. It’s the part of you that connects to the trees when you walk outside, it’s the part of you that gets energised when you’re doing what you love to do, it’s the part of you that you can feel when you let yourself relax and trust your instincts.
Here’s a whole new year…there will be a whole load of New Year Resolutions which more or less fit into 2 categories:
1) Giving up the bad stuff or
2) Doing more of the good stuff
You may have some resolutions or intentions yourself, you may want to be ‘a whole new you’, I wish you the best of luck with all of that, there’s always room for improvement. But remember also that at the core of you, you’re always in balance. When we’re busy trying to be newer, better, slimmer, healthier, fitter or funnier we sometimes miss out on the fact that we’re fundamentally, underneath it all, absolutely fabulous. It’s tapping into that core inner sparkle, that constant flame of energy that reminds us that even when you find yourself in the supermarket unintentionally wearing your slippers – you are not your shoes…you are fundamentally fabulous with or without them.
The chap at the therapists’ office had realised that the time he spent worrying about what people thought of his worn out shoes wasn’t time worth spending, his shoes were just something he had at the end of his legs, his self worth was in a much safer place; deep inside.
So, a toast for the New Year:
Here’s to a new you, may your light shine brighter than ever
and here’s to the original you, for creating the light in the first place
With much love

What Happens when you spill the milk? Oops!
If your boss asked you “Did you eat a bowl of stupid for breakfast?!” Would it motivate you? Perhaps it might motivate you to leave.
If your partner repeatedly told you angrily “you fool, typical of you to be so clumsy” Would you feel loved and cared for?
Put downs from other people are usually noticeable but what about the ones we say to ourselves?
How do you talk to yourself?
If you drop a carton of milk or get ink on your favourite shirt – what do you say to yourself? Our own ‘internal dialogue’ makes a huge difference to how we feel and usually we don’t pay much attention to how we’re speaking to ourselves, mostly it’s habits we’ve fallen into. Sometimes they are things we’ve been told in the past and after someone else said them to us, we carry on saying them to ourselves. When we start to notice them, then we can change them for something more useful.
Here’s some typical habits, things we might say to ourselves, see if you recognise any:
“Trust me to get it all wrong…”
“It’d be just my luck if I missed it altogether”
I’ll never be good at that”
“ I can’t believe I just did that, how stupid”
“Oh no, why did I just make a fool of myself again”
“There’s no point me trying to be clever”
“I never get it right”
“I’ve got no chance here”
You may, by now, have remembered some of your own internal dialogues. Are they harsh or kind? How do you speak to yourself?
Wouldn’t it be lovely if there was a person in your life who was on call 24/7 to say nice things to you? To pick you up after a fall or to tell you ‘you’re still the best’ when you’ve had a bad day?
Well here’s the big secret: That person can be you.
Today, have a go at being nice, extra nice, to yourself. Instead of getting stressed about the things you can’t change, try saying ‘ah well’ with a shrug of the shoulders. Try praising yourself when you do something well and saying something soothing when things aren’t so good.
We don’t often feel motivated when people shout and tell us we’re stupid. We feel motivated when we hear kind and encouraging things. That’s how we get the courage to carry on.
If, when it’s learning to walk, a toddler falls down, we don’t say “Well look at that, you better stay on the floor because you clearly aren’t any good at that!” No, we say “wow well done for trying, have another go”
Why not give yourself the same courtesy and see how it changes the way you look at things. It may even encourage others around you to speak to you differently!
Here’s some ones to try;
“cor that was a tough job, well done me!”
“I really quite good at (whatever you’re good at)”
“I really need a break right now so I’m taking time for lunch today”
“Anyone can make a mistake, everything will be alright”
“I’m doing my best”
“I’m doing amazingly well in these circumstances!”
Oh and one last tip…if you find yourself going back to telling yourself off, don’t worry and don’t beat yourself up for that, that would be like breaking an egg and then breaking another one to teach yourself a lesson. Let it go and then try finding something good to say. Even if it’s “well done me for noticing I’d spoke harshly to myself again!”
