2014’s theme is going to be “nourish”.
Thought the thesaurus lists maintain under nourish’s listing, I think that to nourish something is a step above maintenance.
In 2014, I strive to nourish all that requires care. My body, my son, my career, all of those things. I believe that everything will benefit from this.
Normally, I am very achievement oriented. I like to set goals and move toward those goals. Some of those goals are indeed goals that I set up with the intention of doing things to take better care of the things that are important. I really like goals. But, I think that it is easy to put the important parts about taking care of oneself on the back burner. It’s easy to be happy about all of the things you got done, and ignore the fact that you neglected some other thing that is at least as important.
This is similar to the balance theme that I set a while ago, but not quite the same. I think I have more-or-less been able to maintain a balance that I’m comfortable with, but know that there are some things that need better tending/care.
So, that’s what I’ll do in 2014.
What’s your theme for the new year?
