How many of us keep our New Year\u2019s resolution, or even bother making one at all, for fear of not accomplishing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why not break the New Year up into days and take it \u201cone day at a \ntime\u201d\u009d. You can make a goal of what you want to achieve, but it is HOW \nyou get there that is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t run around stressed, like a headless chicken, rushing about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t run around in a panic, losing yourself along the way, like a lizard losing its tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or if you haven\u2019t attained the goal, hiding your head in shame, like an ostrich with its head in the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s look at it from another perspective and assess the above as: don\u2019t stress, don\u2019t panic and don\u2019t be too hard on yourself!<\/em> Be an Elephant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you were an elephant, you would plan your tasks well and would save yourself the stress which in turn would exude calm from within yourself and calm within the home. Your child wouldn\u2019t be so angry, he would listen more and you would shout less. You would find the time for yourself and for him. And when he misbehaves, you there to guide him the right way, with still a loving hug at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So take each step this year firmly with caution, precision and calm, \nbecause your calf is watching you and learning your every move.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How many of us keep our New Year\u2019s resolution, or even bother making one at all, for fear of not accomplishing it.
