The young coast guard cadet in the embedded video has a hard time to be precise with his English prenunciation....I,too would like to improve on my up to now rather diffuse 2009 goals and desires.....So what changes do I truly want to bring about in 2009?
1. I definitely would like to continue teaching beyond the summer vacation of 2009- the tricky part here is that on this one I am dependent upon outside readiness or hiring willingness.
2. I plan to remodel my downstairs...new carpet;new lighting;much less clutter and maybe a wider bed as well.
3. To throw away some of my books and magazines - a painful process - but necessary.
4. To drink more tap water during the day.
5. A good idea would be to control the volume of my outgoing emails.
6. It would be wise to eat even less meat products and to allow for two 5 to seven days fasts in 2009.
7. To clean my car and to check it on a more regular basis.
8. To accept "what is" in form of the "present moment" much more often and in many more situations i.e. a restaurant or crowded places.
9. To soften my facial expression - so that my gratitude and goodness will more readily shine thru me.
10. To stay away from impulse buying of books or DVDs especially at Amazon.de by reflecting if I really do need that particular product.
11. To find a certain number of motivational speakers for my/our Paderborner Gesundheitsstammtisch.
12. To create situations where I can generate this feeling of I AM more often and thus to deepen this sense of knowing.....
Especially the last resolution will help me to stay well afloat throughout 2009 - thus no SOS signal and no sinking scenario will be necessary.
