We can't become what we need by remaining what we are. ~Max Dupree
The New Year and its resolutions are fast upon us. Some people are cynical about New Year's resolutions since many are abandoned by February. But here at MindfulEats, we love resolutions! They provide an opportunity to reconnect with your dreams (which are easy to forget when we're busy). And even if you don't "succeed" in your resolutions, there's a positive energy in acting aspirationally. If you do achieve them, you're a star. Funny thing about resolutions - we've failed the same ones year after year, but somehow just articulating them allowed them to seep into our unconsciousness, and at some point we ended up accomplishing them.
Love or hate…
