Happy Chinese New Year!  

On February 10th, we usher in the Year of the Snake. “This 2013 year of Snake is meant for steady progress and attention to detail. Focus and discipline will be necessary for you to achieve what you set out to create.”

I like it.  If we are mindful and work hard, we will reach our goals.  

While some of those goals may be physical or career driven, I have been thinking about emotional goals.  Reaching new emotional goals requires one to filter through past pain and slough off unnecessary baggage like the proverbial snake sloughing off its skin when it outgrows it.  Sloughing off one’s skin is never an easy task!  It also requires that you are brave enough to feel raw and new for a bit.

Evaluate if you’ve outgrown some of your emotional baggage.  And if you don’t need it anymore, it may be time to let it go.  Wriggle out of those old emotional habits and embrace some new perspectives.

I think a fresh new skin will look fantastic on you!
