Little Legos

Ahhhh. 2015 is here! There is so much change in the air and all around us on the ground. Anyone on social media can witness the multifaceted topics of change brewing. The turn of a new year can also stir up one's internal reality, can't it? It may be bringing up awareness of the year past and year to come. Ideas of letting go of the things that do not serve us like bad habits or procrastination. There could be feelings of resentments, regrets, or unresolved emotions. The beginning of a new year can rekindle hope of better days to come for some. It can be a very positive event, or negative event depending on how one choses to perceive it. It could even be both positive and negative. Do we make resolutions, or do we not? The turn of the new year can feel like standing in the center of a teeter-totter for many, shifting our weight, back and forth. Do I or don't I? Should I or shouldn't I? Why or why not? Aren't your legs getting tired?

So how do we stop? How do we achieve balance once we recognize we are bouncing between different ideas about what the new year will mean for us personally, so we don't become complacent or overwhelmed and do nothing.

Acting Creatively! That's how!

The imagination has already begun nudging us, leading us in the direction we feel might be more desirable. Are you listening? If you are hearing its guidance, are you acting? Trust it! The imagination is communicating with your heart.

Think of the new year like a new Lego set. Pull it out of the box and it's multiple bags of little pieces meant to be put together in multiple stages to form a whole. The key word there is little. It can take hours to put together a small set, so don't rush. It takes what it takes. We may even make a mistake along the way which requires us to remove a couple steps and do things different to make it work. Don't focus on all these details. Don't count the pieces to make sure all 1000 of them are there. Trust the process and act!

All we really need to do is start with two little pieces, fit them together, and we are already further than when we began. This is creative. Creativity always builds! We have jumped into alignment with an energy that will help us move forward. Smaller, attainable acts lead to success! We don't have to worry about all the other pieces until it's their turn. We only need to look for the next little piece, and sometimes that next piece is really tiny. No matter how tiny, in the world of Legos, it's not insignificant.

Allow the process to guide you. One small piece at a time. Take breaks if you need to. Change direction if you are led to do so. It doesn't matter. Just get off the teeter-totter and start creating! Let go of the details and expectations and play! You have the potential to build your best year yet!

Happy New Year Everyone!
