Every year I like to review this list to bring good Karma to the year ahead, and beyond. This year I have added more self compassion and kindness towards others. Let me know what resonates with you this year.
- Keep your word.
- Be curious. Listen to understand.
- Show respect to everyone you encounter.
- Be respectful of those you haven’t met.
- Be a good friend.
- Look for the best in everyone.
- Be kind to others.
- Be kind to yourself.
- Forgive others.
- Forgive yourself.
- When you make a mistake say, “I’m sorry.
- Pour out your love when someone asks for it.
- Put your children’s needs before your own.
- When someone is speaking to you, be fully present and listen.
- Express yourself joyfully.
- Don’t be cruel with your words.
- Be grateful for everything you have. It is more than enough.
- Share your wisdom with those who ask for it.
- Give away what you don’t need.
- Help keep the Earth beautiful and safe for generations to come.
- Look behind you, stop and hold the door open for others.
- Savor every moment. The good, bad and the ugly. That’s life!
- Don’t forget to bring the dogs in after you have let them out.
- Smile more. Laugh lots!
- Expect life to be good.
- Do the right thing, especially when no one is watching.
- Dance with abandon. Always.
- Share the love you have been given and pass it on to others.
- Learn from your mistakes, and grow from them.
- Lighten up!
- Share what you believe in.
- Relax. Breathe. And S-L-O-W down.
- Be true to the beautiful being that you are.
