Its the first day of the new year. People are stumbling out of bed with heavy heads looking for the only open tim hortons in town. What will become of all of our resolutions buy the end of the day? Keep motivated, don\'t slip backwards. The more we think about change they more out minds make excuses. Last night I sat here and imagined what it would be like to be some place else. So i took it a little more serious and looked at places I would like to live. Remeber that my fear is traveling. I started looking at British Columbia and narrowed it down to Kelowna. The thought made me anxious. I searched for pictures and videos. Then I started looking at jobs and houses. Before I knew it I was seriously thinking about moving there. This is a dream of mine. I want to be some place warm and beautiful. I\'m considering this a goal now. We all need goals. Without goals you will have little direction, motivation or drive. Set some goals, make them real in your mind. Visualization is a big part of recovering from anxiety. You\'ll notice that as you see the things that scare you in your mind they will bring about anxiety. But you are safe, these are just thoughts. As you practice this visualization it will become less and less scary and you can then put your plans into action. I see my new goal as monumental which in turn makes all the smaller things that I have to do not so bad. I see these small steps as obsticles I need to overcome to reach my destination and it makes them easier to face. Have hopes, dreams and goals. They create a possitive future that you can strive for. Nothing is hard when you face it with possitivity, excitement, and wonder. The only thing that really holds you back are your thoughts. So take these thoughts and rationalize them. Twist them around, turn them inside out. Your mind will create a different conclusion. So right here and now, I challange you to dream big and start small. Think of what you really want and start putting your ducks in a row :")
