I don't know about you, but I'm not a big fan of New Year's Resolutions. I do enjoy sitting down at the end of every year and reflecting on what I did and why and how I would like to do things differently in the coming year. But I'm not into the traditional goal-setting thing: exercise 3 times a week, eat 3 healthy meals per day, go to bed earlier. That's not to say I wouldn't like to set these kinds of goals -- IF I could/would do them -- but I can't. Or won't. Or don't. The place I get hung up is in the whole idea of Goals, capital G. Philosophically, I get uncomfortable making too many decisions about where my life "Should" be going. If I had set specific goals and kept my nose to the grindstone to achieve them, I would be in a totally different place than I find myself now. I arrived at this most interesting place in my life by a rather circuitous route and an openness to new opportunities and possibilities. And I'm satisfied with where I am. (For now...who knows what else is coming?) Even though I'm not the type to map out how I want my life to go, I do have ideas for the near-term about what I need to do to progress on my current projects and ideas. And I certainly have ideas about the kind of person I want to be Becoming. So over the years I have developed alternatives to New Year's Resolutions that fit better with who and how I am. What has all this got to do with neurofeedback??   more »
