@upliftedtoday is on threads and Instagram. Today's post was New Year, New Month, New Day, New Hour, New Second = New Start. The truth is any moment you make a committment, change, or new habit it can begin at any second. Often we use January 1st to begin a New Year Resolution. It is the way we are programmed on the Gregorian Calendar. Most of us postponed our goals to a start date. We may wait until the beginning of the month, the next day, or the next hour to start something. I encourage you to take a moment and write down everything you would like to do or accomplish. Then, write down the initial step you can start today related to what you would like to do or accomplish. Review the list daily and continue to add the subsequent second and next steps daily or weekly. Find you a trusted accountability partner to share the list daily and your updates minimumally on a bi-weekly basis. Follow my blog with Bloglovin

There is a screenwriters strike. While I am not avid consumer of watching TV, I took this time to detach from network TV. This moment in pausing from the TV and other committments has allowed me to refocus fleeting thoughts and goal charts set as new resolutions/solutions. In this wired, wireless, and wiry hemisphere of our day to day, we forget about intentional moments of pause because most feel we have to engage and participate. The truth is when we pause then we can relax and create without any defined boundaries and in this moment is true joy.

The world operates on a Gregorian calendar, 24 hours, 365/366 days a year, the sunrise, sunset and moon phases. Some are manmade timelines while others are ecological and environmental. What if the everpressing climate change eroded the sunrise, sunset, and moon phases? What if? Growth and stagnation are "opposites attract". Experincing both growth and stagnation is living life in balance. Stagnation provides moments of self-reflection, doubt, and spur drive.
