\nHere\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the good news. Go ahead, break those resolutions.
\n<\/span>
\nWhy? There is a big problem with any big resolution you make. Like dropping a glass, the minute you break your big commitment, it shatters. Gone. Swept away quickly and thrown into the bin. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why most resolutions are broken in less than a week and why most people feel like failures. Ask around\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 when was the last time someone kept a resolution for a whole year? (If it is you, tell us how in the comments below. You have much to teach!)
\n<\/span>
\nJust like a puppy isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just for Christmas, people I work with who are successful at making lasting changes in their life know that the secret is daily focus in tiny doses, year-round, not a big resolution set once a year. Change never results from a one-off, easy-to-break ideal, dreamt up in response to the excess of the holiday and end of year panic, triggered by the annual ritual of wondering \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/span>Where did the last twelve months of my life go?<\/i><\/b>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TODAY IS YOUR NEW START
\n<\/b>
\nNo matter what day you read this, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve found these words for a reason. Today is your opportunity to join me on a journey of discovery over the coming weeks and months – a journey into what I am calling \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/span>The<\/b> Four Foundations<\/b>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE FIRST STEP TO TAKING FULL CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
\n<\/b>
\nThe Four Foundations<\/b> is a simple practice you can do anytime, anywhere, whether sitting at the traffic lights, lying in bed, at work, at home, or in the middle of a heated argument.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike many other opportunities to improve your life, the beauty of practicing <\/span>The Four Foundations <\/b>is you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to schedule it like the gym. You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to find a quiet place or sit a certain way like meditation. You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to set a goal. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not something you \u00e2\u20ac\u0153win\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, therefore by trying it you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t lose.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even have to make or <\/span>find<\/span><\/i> time to practice it. <\/span>The Four Foundations<\/b> find <\/span><\/i>you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life will present you with many opportunities to practice. Life will be your partner, delivering you opportunities to engage <\/span>The Four Foundations<\/b> throughout your day. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

INNER CHANGE FIRST
\n<\/b>
\nWhat I know for sure is if you explore <\/span>The Four Foundations <\/b>with me, your life will profoundly change. You will first <\/span>feel<\/span><\/i> change internally. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll feel happier. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll feel less stressed. Life will naturally begin to feel more balanced. You will start to see and approach life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s challenges in a different way. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have greater awareness. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll start to feel more present, more connected to your own life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE WORLD AROUND YOU
\n<\/b>
\nYou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll then start to see your world change around you. People will treat you differently. They be more pleasant to you. People will be drawn to you. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll feel a new energy from you. \u00c2\u00a0They will want to be around you more. Then they will start to get curious. They might say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You seem different. What has changed?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or ask \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shifted in your life?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/span><\/p>\n

At that point, you get the opportunity to tell them about <\/span>The Four Foundations<\/b> and they can start on their own journey.<\/span><\/p>\n
