A very Happy New Year wherever you are!
From emails I can tell that 2006 has been a successful year for some and of course a struggle for others. Either way, we all made it through as ever and this coming year will be full of opportunities to come out of ourselves and achieve what we want.
I thought of a few good resolutions that might be worth considering in order to be calmer and happier in 2007 an onwards.
1. Decide to give yourself the time you need to recover. Take pressure off yourself and make sure others stop pressing you as well.
2. Give up wasting money on Instant Cures from “gurus”.
3. Consider from where it is best to seek help. If you think you need psychotherapy but are worried that it takes two years remind yourself that if you had started this time last year you would be half way through!
4. Make sure your doctor is fully understanding and sympathetic to your situation. If s/he is not then they must change or you must find another doctor. Neither anxiety or depression should ever be shrugged off.
5. Start a campaign with your local politician for better healthcare for mood disorders and anxiety.
6. Meditate, even if only for a few minutes.
I am sure you have more ideas! Do share them with me!
Happy 2007!!
With Love
