New Year's Failures

I think there's too much formality, unrealistic expectations, and ceremony involved in New Year's resolutions.  The excitement of a promising new routine, a positive outcome, or new habit soon fades and we're back to the same, if not, worse shape we were before the new year kicked in. That is why I gave up even mentioning resolutions quite a while ago.  However I will say that when small, realistic changes are made to the daily routine, they are more readily accepted into the lifestyle one wants to improve upon.

After a stressful hump of a new year--both work wise and personally-- I decided to recommit myself to juicing. This one habit can seriously brighten your day, your face, your prospects.  So I created an "aesthetic" devotional corner (cause asthetics do motivate), where the Menu Du Jour is always " le jus".
I do believe that if you make something pretty, and also give it the proper physical (or abstract) space it needs, chances are you are able to create more effective ongoing changes. For me, I am all about the senses I like to look at the gorgeous colors, touch them, feel them, smell them. And, finally......TASTE them! :)
