New Decade and New Year - Create Your More & Less List

I love the New Year, and not only is it a new year, but a new decade, the roaring 20’s but 2020 style.  I love the ring of 2020, to me, it is all about Vision.  What is your vision for your life?  What do you want to create, where do you want to be?  How do you want to feel?  These questions are important because they help us to live on purpose, they help us to align with our true selves and they awaken us to what is possible—sometimes we need to break from the cycle of life (I often refer to it as the hamster wheel).  

A healthy exercise for us all to do is the “More  & Less List”.  This is something I do most every year—it helps me to gain clarity on the things I want and don’t want in my life.  I created this idea (or list) as a way to guide myself towards the things that bring me joy, make me whole, ignite my spirit and also identify the things that take away from me, drain me, and prevent me from being my best self.   We all have them, and in the journey of self care and self aware, they are important to explore.  

Here are some things that may resonate with you and encourage you as you create your own list.  

More of in 2020!

More...Joy, peace, positive thoughts, gratitude, simplicity, organization, confidence, mindfulness, yoga, meditation, healthy meals, books, journaling, water, travel, coffee dates, God time, music, walks, writing, passionate work, affirmations & mantras, letting go, earning income, creativity, quiet time/reflection, serving those in need, field trips, beach walks, dog walks, salt air, hiking, capturing moments and memories.  

Less of in 2020!

Less… stuff, junk (food/thoughts/things), weight, negative thinking, fear, shame, guilt, anger, complaining, blaming, bitching, debt, wasteful spending, drama, negative people, status quo, bad habits, comparing, judging, toxic things and people.   

Chart our course for the new year and the new opportunity to live even more on purpose.  Small changes each day, and small reminders to choose joy, practice gratitude can help in these shifts in the direction of the things we want more of, and away from the things we want less of.

Find some quiet time for yourself, and write your More & Less List, the exercise alone is healthy and helpful!  Cheers to you and more Living HIPP this year and always!  XO
