Dr. Laura Lyons' New Years Resolution

by Dr. Laura B. Lyons, Ph.D

A New Year brings a new opportunity to "get it right" and strive for balance between work, play, family, and business. Research reveals that most resolutions for the new year are external, such as losing weight, quit smoking, exercise more...etc.. However, after a year of economic crisis and social turmoil in 2009, the resolutions that will serve us best in 2010 are those from the heart, such as resolve to be "kinder/gentler," individually and collectively.

My personal resolution for 2010 is to refuse to surrender to fear!! As an avowed, "spiritualist," I have come to the conclusion that fear and faith cannot coexist. I have decided to choose faith over fear asa a guiding force in my life. Unquestionably, being fear driven in the past has prompted me to avoid issues that I should have confronted and challenged things that I would have been better off letting go. Fear is a binding phenomenon that I have resolved to overcome. The economic forecast for 2010 may continue to be bleak, but if we keep the faith and resolve to be better neighbors, friends, coworkers and family members, our ability to triumph will be enhanced.

Try these resolutions for a better you and a better society:

a. Dr. Ann Wigmore, founder of the "Living Foods' movement and my mentor, states " he who is most difficult to love, needs love the most,"

Stress changes our personality, we are often off balance and at any given moment we stand in need of forgiving or being forgiven. So, resolve to be the hero in difficult relationships.

b. Don't let money problems destroy your marriage or friendships!! Focus on the person, not their purse. The economic crisis will eventually end, don't allow your relationships to become a casualty of a social condition.

d. Refrain from being a prophet of doom, but instead be a predictor of boom!! One of my friends calls her doomsday attitude"being realistic," Sometimes you need to put distance between yourself and the bearers of bad news. Even the TV needs to be turned off at times. Remember, you can love someone without giving them a front row pew in your life.

e. There is social data to support the notion that stepping outside of yourself and helping others helps you to heal also. So, call your laid off coworkers to console them, keep your subordinates informed of company finances, make time for family and fun. A beach outing can remedy a gloomy day.

f. Watch your manners, rise above the fray, never allow others' rudeness or insensitivity to cause you to respond similarly. Kindness, respect, and considerateness are another set of tools for victory in a down market.
