I made a lot of chan...I agree with this completely. I made a lot of changes this year, not all of them deliberately, and I think 2011 was extraordinary. Here's what I can think of that had an impact (in lawyer format):<br /><br />1. Notice the moment. This is like "stop and smell the roses", but not as cliche. When something good happens (even if it's something very small), I notice it. And I notice myself noticing it. I don't think I've ever been happier.<br /><br />2. Lose some inhibition. I lost a whole lot more inhibition than I expected I would. I try things now that would have been ridiculous to the 2010 (and earlier) me. Sometimes this can put me in peril. I think I'll try and gain a tiny bit more inhibition (knowing my limits for a start...) in 2012, but overall I'm happy to toss the majority aside.<br /><br />3. Take risks. Not sure how often this should apply but I've been getting pretty lucky lately with this one. Some people say you make your own luck and I think taking the initiative is synonymous with that.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272488779030465363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-89772376673665172812012-01-01T23:37:47.087+11:002012-01-01T23:37:47.087+11:00Oh Sweetheart, how I adored this post!
