Each January as a new year is beginning, I like to sit down and reflect on my past and think forwards to my future. Starting each January I have so many dreams and wishes for the year to come. By the end of January though I find that I am not changing as much as I would like and I become very negative towards myself. Once that begins I loose all sight of the goals and dreams in my mind. This year, this JJanuary I am going to focus on the positive. On keeping my thoughts and ideas positive. I'm going to focus on positive action. Positive goals. I read a fantastic article on 10 Tools to Live Your Life Well and thought I'd share what I found.
