New Beginnings

The end of a year can bring with it a mixture of feelings. For some, it may be great relief. After a year of pain and hardship they look forward with anticipation to a more positive year with some ‘lucky breaks’. For some, perhaps the thought of going through another year of ‘more of the same’ creates a sense of despair and hopelessness. For others, a new year is as an opportunity to make a fresh start and improve their health and relationships.

New Year’s Resolutions often motivate people to attain their goals. But so often, well meaning people who really want to make positive changes give up when the going gets tough and soon fall back into their old ways. The New Year can bring with it the hope of new beginnings. You may need a fresh start in your life. Perhaps you’re unhappy in your job but can’t see a way out. Is your marriage at breaking point and all you can think of is leaving? You’ve promised yourself many times that you will lose weight and keep it off but to no avail.

Make 2013 a year of new beginnings. Let go of what lies behind and press forward to what lies ahead.
