This momentous occasion also provides us humans with another chance to go into our mental closets and filter out accumulated and unwanted junk from the past.  Past demons, bad habits, limiting beliefs that keep governing our actions, anxieties and insecurities are all acquired through our life experiences; we’re not born with them.  And, since our mind is no different to a computer that has been programmed with the software of life experiences, it can be re-programmed to think differently and consequently behave differently also.  Remember: Your Past Does NOT Equal Your Future.

Sometimes all that is needed is a tiny shift in our attitude, our outlook or our strategies to yield the biggest positive change that we’ve been longing for.  What we visualize in our mind, what we repeatedly say to ourselves and even our body language are all contributing factors to the subjective understanding of our lives.  Our reality is always subjective and can be unjust to the actuality that we neglect to appreciate.  As the famous NLP presupposition goes, the map is not the territory.  How you’ve unconsciously programmed yourself to understand the world around you is not always an accurate perspective - there are other facets to see the world through!  There’s a wonderful saying that I read the other day, it said: “We don’t see the world the way it is, but rather the way we are.”

Let me just finish off by saying that sometimes, it’s not just a spring clean that our internal and external lives require; but a careful and honest re-evaluation of where we’re going with our lives and the goals we’ve set.

“Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits.  Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.”  Mahatma Gandhi
