New Year Resolution

Hi guys,

It's been a long while since I wrote a post on my blog. I felt inspired to write this post after reading Jeroen's Blog. It made me want to write my own new year's resolution.

This new year will bring a lot of changes in my personal life. I feel like I'm starting a new chapter. My new year's resolution will be: "To be more aware". I know it sounds pretty vague, but let me try to explain.

I am a dreamer, I dream of a perfect life. I dream of happiness, I dream of what could be and while I'm dreaming, I put my "real" life on auto-pilot. I do the things that are required of me, but without thought or conscience. Now, don't get me wrong. It's not like I'm brain dead, it's not as if I don't enjoy my life. But for a big part I go through life without thought and take everything for granted.

Lately, I have tried to put myself in a state of awareness, by trying to heighten my senses. I do this by focussing on one of my senses. For example I try to listen to every sound, and just this act has opened a whole new world to me.

I know it sounds weird, it sounds pointless, but somehow it felt important to me. To be more aware of my surroundings, to use my senses more often. To take a moment and look around, observing every object, each texture, each reflection, to take a deep breath and smell the air, to feel the warmth of the sun.

Now I know your thinking: "What possible benefits would this bring you?" And though I cannot answer this with scientific proof, I believe that by standing still from time to time observing my universe, I will experience my life more intensely, appreciating every detail that life is giving.

This year will bring a lot of joy in my life and I want to enjoy every moment of it. I don't want to fall back to a life where I just live, do my stuff and take every gift for granted. Life is wonderful, in every detail..

Have a wonderful new year
