A work friend and I have a running gag about zen cats, a surprisingly often mentioned thing on the interwebs and in books. When we're stressed we'll talk about being zen cat and that's a sign to take a deep breath and try to relax or better, laugh about it.
I've realised that I have to put zen cat in full motion this year. I spent way too much time feeling stressed, anxious and miserable last year. "Stress Less" is my mantra for this year, I've even stuck that phrase to my computer as a memory jogger. Sure it's only five days in but I've already had a few challenges and I have been able to consciously choose to emotionally switch off from a lot of concerns.
An advantage of my head being a bit clearer from the small little dramas I focus on, I'm also finally getting some clarity about other, much more significant life plans, such as slowly preparing to look at a new house, and what we need to/want to do before we "settle down". Hence a big new trip for 2014 has been tentatively scheduled, because I need to see Route 66 before we cut down on the travelling, which is exciting.
Clarity is not something I'm used to, but I'm hoping it becomes very common place.
