Isn’t it funny how the New Year starts when the season is cold and dark and stripped bare? What a great metaphor for change. Winter has a magnificent purpose for nature. The leaves of the trees are gone, plants and animals are dormant seemingly helpless and hopeless. Have you seen a bare tree whipping in the winters wind? Have you seen a tuft of dead grass seemingly drowning in the storms? Imagine a hibernating bear, sleeping unsuspectingly as you watch. What once was a force to be reckoned with is easily at your mercy. If you did not know winter would end, you might think the flora and the fauna were at deaths door. Just before you change anything, you are similar to the clump of grass or the helpless bear. You are you, in a state of transition. You are vulnera- ble. You are a giant at the mercy of the elements. You are in a weakened state of being where you can be bro- ken enough to see that you can’t do what you have been doing anymore and expect anything better to be in your life. Are you in a body that is so over- weight that you are vulnerable to dia- betes, stroke or heart attack? Are your attitudes and anger so vile that you are at risk of losing your job, your family and any friends you have left? Are your finances so out of control that you are drowning like the clump of grass in your dormant lawn? If so, you are ready for the transfor- mation. Just as the season moves from barren win- ter to budding spring, you can see change in your life in just a few short months. You can use January, Faydra Rector February and March to strip yourself bare of your burdens and make the changes necessary to bloom in April, May, June and beyond. I learned a trick about roses a long time ago. I learned that to get the best blooms, you should trim them on Super Bowl Sunday. You can go out and clip all the spent stems and dead wood and cart away the cast offs and leave behind this skinny thing won- dering how an earth it will look good in just a few short months. Same thing with Crepe Myrtle trees. As the months pass, you don’t see much and then all of a sudden BAM you see a magnificent beauty that made it through the storm. Do you want change in your life? Only you can take the steps to make it. Only you can love yourself enough to lose the weight, stop the hate or settle your debt. Only you can find the new job, the new life and the new you. Life Coach Model yourself after the seasons. Strip yourself of your dead weighted issues; send your negative thoughts into permanent hibernation. Give yourself the winter months to purge the negativi- ty raging as the storms do. When spring comes you will see the new you emerge and you will soak in the sun and bloom.
