2022 What's Old is New

There is an old philosophy that exhorts us to count our blessings every day. By doing so we have a better chance of recognizing what's important to us. It also puts into perspective those things in our lives that matter the most and matter the least.  As we enter the third year of the Covid pandemic, we have had ample time to reflect and sort out the good things in our lives and recognize the "nice to have, but unnecessary," and the really meaningful which makes life sweeter. Rewiring is a lot like that. We suggest to our readers that taking stock of their lives and understanding what motivates them as individuals is the beginning of the journey to fulfillment.

The same thing is true of setting goals for ourselves. Examining the goal you select in the clear light of day often results in embracing it even more or deciding to discard it altogether.  Sometimes the goal is set because it seems that is what society values or what our friends and neighbors value.  The question to ask yourself is what do you value? If you succeed in achieving the goal will it make your life or anyone else's life better? We don't ask that question of ourselves enough, because the answer can make us different or set us apart from others.  

Appreciating what we have is a wonderful goal to put into our lives in 2022, and when you admit to it others might listen and just start doing the same. It gives you a chance to touch your own life as well as the lives of others. What could be more positive in an age when so much seems confusing and anxiety provoking. Once we start practicing counting our blessings, the list will get longer as well as more meaningful. There will be many surprises on the list, too. Here's to a healthy and Happy New Year!
