People born in the year of the horse are energetic, driven, intelligent, charismatic, and adventurous. With the good come some challenges, as they are often seen as pushy, overambitious, and impulsive. The year of the horse is full of passion and movement, and this is seen in the people born during those years. Their infectious smile and friendship bring light to those around them and they can be amazing to help push themselves and others into victory when some people may be more likely to want to stand still.

The year of the snake is ending, and like a snake’s skin, it is shedding away the old negative energies as the horse bounds us forward into a lively new year. The year of the horse embodies motion— moving forward with bold passion and determination. It emphasizes change, passion, enthusiasm, and freedom. In my practice, I echo the feelings of the year of the horse and keep in mind the changes of the year in harmony with the mind and body. This year, try to let go of old things that no longer serve us, so we can lift the weight off our shoulders and push forward lighter and with more vigor!

We all procrastinate. Be patient with yourself and even plan to procrastinate sometimes. If you plan to do it, then it is not so defeating when it happens. Leave space in your schedule and forgive yourself when you wander off course. You can always correct and get back on your way. You’ve got this!

Stay Well,
Dr. Elke Parsons, DACM

Holding ourselves accountable can be hard, so try writing down your goals and sharing them with someone you trust, or just putting up a to-do list in a common area of your home where you can check off tasks as you do them. “A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do” (Bill Watterson). If you have a visual reminder or someone there to cheer you on, it is easier to stay on track.

All of us have a specific environment that is most conducive to us. For some, it is a quiet place, and for others, the hustle and bustle is what keeps us going. Some of us thrive while working with others, while some of us do better on our own. At other times, stagnation can lead us to procrastinate. If you are having trouble focusing, try changing where you are. “If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to ­music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem” (Hilary Mantel). Just make sure to come back at the end. You’ve got this!

When we set large goals or find ourselves running behind on a goal we have set, it is easy to beat ourselves up, but doing some of it is still momentum! If you find yourself running behind or feeling overwhelmed, adjust your goal to something more reachable at the moment and build up to the larger one. Setting realistic goals helps us feel more motivated, which keeps us moving forward.

Today we honor a courageous man who hoped for better days. In these difficult times remember what he taught us. Hate will only drive us apart, love is what brings us together. We are all equal. Martin Luther King Jr said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Love yourself and love each other. We are the continuation of the dream.

Stay Well,

“One of the very worst uses of time is to do something very well that need not to be done at all.” ― Brian Tracy, Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time

All of us have a set number of things we can do in a day before we start to feel tired and experience burnout. Don’t push yourself to the point of exhaustion; instead, prioritize the tasks you do in a day. What are the things that need to be done the most, when is the best time to do them, and what can wait for another time? Organize these at the start of your day and remember to break them down into smaller, doable steps. Don’t let yourself become overly distracted with things that don’t need to be done right now.

“You can dance in the storm. Don't wait for the rain to be over before because it might take too long. You can do it now. Wherever you are, right now, you can start, right now; this very moment.” ― Israelmore Ayivor

Sometimes just starting is the hardest part. We all procrastinate and that is understandable, but we can procrastinate to the point that even beginning is too difficult. Don’t let yourself get into your head. Just start. Pick something small and manageable and jump in. Once you get the ball rolling, you will find it is easier to keep going.

When we look at our goals, they can seem big and daunting, and that in itself can cause a paralysis of sorts where we struggle to even begin. Instead of looking at our task as one big goal, try breaking it into smaller, quicker, and easier-to-achieve goals. Doing so makes it easier to begin and also helps us to feel more productive and accomplished as we check off each smaller task. For example, clean the house over the weekend. Instead of tracking it as one big task, break it up into smaller parts: this morning, do the dishes, then wipe the counters, then mop the floor. Now, this morning, you have finished three tasks and can already feel more productive, which can lead to more motivation to take the next step!

Understanding and connecting with our goals helps us stay motivated to reach them. Look at the tasks you need to do and connect why you need to do them. What is your end goal beyond that task? For example, doing the dishes is a task many of us procrastinate on, but if you think of it as a way to keep your home clean and, by doing so, make your partner happy, then suddenly the chore of doing the dishes is actually about helping your family. Understanding why we do the things we do and why it is important to finish or start things can make a huge difference.

We all procrastinate and that’s okay! The important thing is to make sure we do not procrastinate so much that our goals are not being met or that we are letting down others. While it can feel insurmountable at times and we can find ourselves easily distracted, there are ways to help us get and stay on the right path. Charles Dickens wrote, “My advice is, never do to-morrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time. Collar him!”
