Out With The Old, In With the New

As the year winds down to a close, now is the time to finish things you may have started. Look around...

Do you have projects you have started but not finished? Now's the time to do it.

Or maybe you never got around to spring cleaning and have a lot of stuff you never use laying around the house. Why not give them to a shelter or charity? Gently used items can make great gifts for those who don't have much.

Now's the time to clean out your insides, too, both spiritually and physically.

Try a detox diet to help you get healthy for the New Year and get a leg up on your resolutions. Go gently, doing some yoga and eating healthy. Stay away from fad detox diets such as purging or long-term fasting. That will only make matter worse.

Spiritually, it's time to do a year in review. This is similar to the nightly inventory you have been doing, but looks at the entire year. Write it all down, reviewing it with a close friend who shares your goals. This will give you some fodder for your New Year's Resolutions.
