Look for Potential, Not Flaws<\/h3>\n<p>For many of us, the beginning of a new year is a time when we \u201ctake stock\u201d of our lives and identify those things we are dissatisfied with. While there\u2019s nothing wrong with wanting to improve certain areas of your life, it\u2019s important to be aware that this kind of thought can be a slippery slope towards judging yourself, comparing yourself to others and succumbing to negative feelings. The solution is so simple however, and it lies in positive self-talk and intentions. Instead of saying \u201cI am unhappy with\u2026\u201d or \u201cI have to change\u2026\u201d, rather say \u201cI have the potential to improve\u2026\u201d or \u201cI look forward to changing\u2026\u201d This will help you get in a positive frame of mind to tackle whatever changes you want to make in the coming year.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Focus on Respect, Love &amp; Gratitude<\/h3>\n<p>These priceless values will help to get you through any of the coming year\u2019s challenges with grace. Love and respect yourself, your world and your fellow beings \u2013 it\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Foster Curiosity<\/h3>\n<p>This year, one of the most valuable lessons our green team has learned is that curiosity and success go hand-in-hand. When you are genuinely, passionately curious about your goals, your work, your life and the people in it, you will find yourself learning and growing like never before! Make 2014 the year you nurture a deep and insatiable curiosity within yourself. You\u2019ll be amazed at the results.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Smile and Laugh<\/h3>\n<p>A seemingly small resolution that costs nothing, but can change everything. A simple smile is <a href=\"http:\/\/inspiyr.com\/9-benefits-of-smiling\/\" target=\"_blank\">so good for your mind and body<\/a>, and it\u2019s the most beautiful natural accessory you could ever choose to wear!<\/p>\n<h3>5. Take It One Day at a Time!<\/h3>\n<p>Be realistic about your goals for the year; don\u2019t yearn for quick fixes and overnight results, but rather recognise that all changes take time, and focus on enjoying the journey.<\/p>\n<p>These are our 5 favourite New Year\u2019s resolutions \u2013 what are yours?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/temp.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/new-year-less-more.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2559\" title=\"new-year-less-more\" src=\"http:\/\/temp.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/new-year-less-more.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"417\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As 2013 draws to a close, we at Faithful to Nature want to wish all our customers a happy, healthy and fulfilling year \u2013 and we\u2019ve got a few new year resolution tips for 2014 you might find inspiring\u2026 1.
