Happy New Year!!!!!!

Well, the year ended with a party and as I see it, it's the best way to continue. I don't mean spending every day slurrping champers and snogging strangers, I'm talking about the 'party in your mind'....

January is usually a time of contemplation, hope, regret and general feelings of failure (come on, how many of you actually stuck to the resolutions you made last year?), so I am not going to submit myself to a future of failure by making promises I don't intend on keeping. I know that the self help books make a killing in January too. Everyone is setting goals, targets and milestones and generally analizing every part of themselves. In my experience, this self help euforia is often short lived. I suppose it's like a hit to an addict. At first the high is unbelievable, and then you need more to feel the same, however with self help, the more you have, the worse you feel after a while. Lets call it 'self help overload'. After feeling indistructable for the first few weeks of January, ready to 'think positive', 'love thyself', and 'feel the fear but do it anyway', how many of us start to get a wee bit sick of all this positive energy? So I have come to the conclusion, that in order to keep my mind healthy, I am simply going to think of my head as a 'party zone', with rooms for dancing like crazy, smooching to love songs, chilling in the zone, spending time with loved ones, and meeting new and interesting people. So, if you're sick of self help and new year resolutions........ Come join the party!!
