One of my favorite tools: Check This Out!

Happy 2023!

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite end of year / beginning a new year tools.

Have you heard of the Year Compass?

It’s been around since 2012…in fact more than a million people around the world have used it since then.

And get this…it’s totally FR*EE.

It’s a digital booklet that helps you reflect on the past year AND plan the next one…intentionally.

It’s got some really great questions and exercises that help to uncover your patterns so you can design the ideal year for yourself.

As you set aside some time to do this, you’ll:

learn from past mis-steps,

celebrate your victories big & small,

and set some great goals for a fulfilling year to come!

All you need is a few quiet hours and this great little booklet….you’re welcome!

I’d love to hear from you – have you used this Year Compass before? If this is your first time going through it -what did you love most about it? What was the most helpful for you?

Here’s to a great New Year –
Shine On,
Carolyn

PS: Today is Day 3 (of 26) for me, on the Green Smoothie Girl Detox. The main group begins on Tues Jan 10th, so you can still jump in if you’re feeling like doing something “heroic” – haha! Seriously, it really does give you such a feeling of accomplishment. This is my 8th time, so I know what to expect, but I’m feeling accomplished just after a few days -simply by stepping up to do something that takes some commitment.

(The early bird pricing is over, but you can still join, and you can start your Day 1 anytime that fits your schedule). You can go here to learn more:

Did you know every year there is a day set aside for celebrations, demonstrations, and classes all about a special form of exercise? And that YOU can take part in these celebrations? I’m talking about World Tai Chi & Qigong Day which is held on the last Saturday of the month every April. This even begins at 10 am in every timezone, creating a healing wave around the world!

To see where the celebrations nearest you are taking place go to the official WTCQD website: www.worldtaichiday.org

For more information from me about Tai Chi you can visit my site: www.TaiChiFlow.com where you find easy to follow DVDs and lots of articles about what Tai Chi is and what it can do for you!

Here’s a little more about this ancient art:

Health Benefits

Tai Chi and qigong’s health benefits have been studied for nearly 2,000 years in China and for only about 20 years in the west. However, western medical research is quickly discovering what Chinese medicine has long realized, that Tai Chi provides more benefits than any other single exercise. No wonder it is the most popular exercise in the world! Besides providing the lowest weight bearing exercise known, regular practice of Tai Chi can also:

Boost the immune system
Slow the aging process
Help ensure full range of mobility
Enhance body’s natural healing powers
Speed heart attack recovery
Increase breathing capacity
Reduce asthma and allergy reactions

Tai Chi can change what the world looks like for us by changing our view of it. After all, our health and our lives are merely reflections of our state of mind. As the body and breath move, so does the mind, clearing energetic blocks that normally lock us into fixed emotional and psychological patterns. This empowering “meditation in motion” reminds us that change is always constant and that new beginnings always follow closures.
