"The new beginning we experience with each new year doesn't emerge from nowhere. It's the beginning of another round of the annual cycle, and in spite of feeling like a fresh start it really begins with how we conclude (resolve) the previous year. Traditional New Year's resolutions tend to emerge from a focus on the negative. Our 'resolutions' to do better come January 1 arise out of thoughts such as 'I'm too fat,' 'I haven't been taking very good care of myself,' 'I hate my job,' or 'I've been neglecting my spouse/family.'

"Instead of focusing on negatives, how about focusing on some positives instead? Take a few minutes to think the successes and accomplishments you experienced in 2005. What "successful conclusions" did you achieve? What are you grateful for receiving? What did you do that was fun or joyful? What happy memories have you added to your life experience?"
