<p>I was away over the new year and on New Year&#8217;s eve I was randomly asked by a TV reporter from the local TV network what my resolutions were for 2012.</p>
<p>Up until that point I hadn&#8217;t taken much time to think about it.  I don&#8217;t even remember what I replied, I know that it must have been something about me not being a big fan of new year&#8217;s resolutions, but since she was asking me, and since there was a camera staring me in the face, I figured why not take the opportunity. So it went something like this &#8220;continuing to take one day at a time and to keep practicing on bringing my awareness to the present moment&#8221;. Simple, yet a big enough task for the year!</p>
<p>The reporter then followed up by asking me if I believe in the effectiveness of resolutions and if I could share my thoughts on the topic. Not an unlikely question that I was surprisingly eager to respond to (despite being caught off guard as I was taking a pause in the warm sun with my 8 month old baby outside of Whole Foods).  Again, though I don&#8217;t remember specifically what I said, it must have been something along the lines of  &#8221; if making new year&#8217;s resolutions is something you choose to take on then &#8211; &#8216;listen to your heart, have the resolutions be authentic and let this energy propel you each day, not just on the 1st day of the year&#8221;. I also must have added that it is indeed a good time to ride on the collective wave of energy often focused on how we can create feelings of renewal, rejuvenation and transformation for the coming year.</p>
<p>All this to say, this brief interview got me thinking again about resolutions. I then remembered I wrote a blog post last year around this time about the exact topic. It served me to read it again and thought I would include it below. Please feel welcome to leave your comments!</p>
<p>All the best to you for 2012!</p>
<p><span id="more-2750"></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>4 Tips to create resolutions that last!</strong></span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s that time  of the year again&#8230;</p>
<p>Though goals and good intentions are welcome any day  of the year, a  fresh new start to the year is a good time to benefit from  this  collective wave of energy where we take stock and look ahead at what is  to  come in the following months. Though I believe it is important to  always be  mindful of what we want daily, what inspires us and in which  direction we want  to go, for many of us, this time of year adds extra  gusto the the meaning of  clean slate, goal setting and fresh start.  Here are some tips  I have put together that might lend some insight  into creating resolutions  (goals) that last for this New Year.</p>
<p><strong>1. From the Heart:</strong> It is important your  resolutions come from  a genuine heart desire, not from &#8220;shoulds, coulds,  have-tos,  ought-to-do&#8217;s&#8221;.   Any wishful, ego-driven desires, often  dictated by  others, or the idealized image of ourselves, are generally not   authentic and will likely fall by the way side. Instead can you shift  your  focus to what inspires you. To what you actually want to do but  have not gotten  around to doing. What energizes you and really matters  to you? Try and dedicate  your resolution and commitment to something of  this nature, something that feels  inviting and exciting, rather than  dutiful and dreadful. Make it easy and unique  to your natural  expression, like a gift you are giving yourself, not an  obligation or  task to add to the already daunting &#8216;to-do&#8217; pile!</p>
<p><strong>2. Commit and Gain Support:</strong> Choose a close friend or  family  member and speak your resolution out loud.  Does it feel  true?  Does it  feel right?  Does the timing feel  ripe?  These are all questions to  ask yourself out loud, to ready  yourself to get committed to your goal.  And maintain this relationship  with your friend/family for  accountability, to help stay on track, focused and  supported.</p>
<p>keep reading the 2 remaining tips by clicking below</p>
<p><img title="More..." src="../wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt="" /><strong>3. Start small</strong>: According to Christine Carter, Ph.D.  from the <a href="http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/" target="_blank">Greater Good Science  Center</a> the science of change suggests that the best way to make a change is   to start with turtle steps, in other words, start small! Choose one goal  and  devote your time and awareness to it each day. Don&#8217;t overshoot the  goal by  projecting into the future three months from now, feeling it  is unattainable and  getting defeated before you get started. Start  small, back up to a goal for the  day or for the week and proceed from  there. And remember with any change, we can  often take one step forward  and 2 steps back. We need to remember that it is the  process that  counts most not the end result. Carter also suggests that if we do  keep  stumbling upon defeat with this new goal, you may just need to make the   goal easier.</p>
<p><strong>4. Being and Feeling rather than Doing and  Thinking</strong>:. The  more we think we have to do something or have  something to be happier,  the farther away from attaining resolve we will  be.  Who you are and  what you feel  in the world is what creates  your moment to moment  satisfaction.   We need to  change the way we perceive resolutions so  they don&#8217;t lead to endless dissolution  year after year! Try focusing on  how you want to feel rather than what you  have to do. For example: you  may want to feel healthier this year, fitter, more  energetic. Rather  than setting a goal of losing 10 pounds by March, can you be  curious  about what would it would be like to feel healthier. Imagine what would   be different in your life as a result of this new feeling. What would  you be  doing? What would you be feeling? What would be different? Spend  time with this  answer and allow it to expand within your consciousness  as often as you like.  And you may find this aligns you with the result  of this goal more easily. For  some the feeling of being healthy might  look like adding an extra 20 minute walk  to their day on one particular  day, and taking a 15 minute cat nap the next. Can  you be open to your  commitment to this new feeling, rather than how it needs to  happen and  what it needs to look like and follow the flow and be in the process   and enjoy it!?</p>
<p>To your well-being and discovery! Happy New Year!</p>

I came across this video the other day from another <a href="http://www.donnaschilder.com/">coach</a> (unknown to me) . Being a <a href="http://juliecusmariu.com/blog/life-coaching/" target="_blank">Life Coach </a>myself (in Montreal and abroad) and an enthusiastic and committed coachee, I of course enjoyed hearing Eric Schmidt&#8217;s experience of coaching.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been many a month since posting here. I&#8217;ve been itching to return  even for just a few words. So here I am.  Feels great.

He has presented more than 100 hospital and conference training seminars in the Calm Birth method since 1997. He has presented the method twice at the world congress of the Association of Pre and Perinatal Psychology and Health (2/02, 3/05), at the University of Michigan Medical School (3/04), and at Bastyr University (4/05).

I am dedicated to bringing the Calm Birth program into maternal-child health centers and hospitals globally. Throughout my 20 years experience as a holistic Labor and Delivery nurse and childbirth educator, and my 15 years experience as a doula, I remain true to my vision that it is possible for us to approach birth with deep respect and reverence. As a recipient of the 2008 Nursing Excellence Award from Overlook Hospital and the 2009 Best for Baby Award from the March of Dimes, I know others recognize my commitment to co-creating opportunity for birth to be a healing, transformative process. Understanding that the way we give birth and what occurs in the crucial period after birth has life-long impact on mother and child is essential. I encourage obstetricians, midwives, nurses, doulas, and childbirth educators to learn about Calm Birth meditation practices. Calm Birth offers women the choice to heal their nervous system, empower their immune system, and gain energy and a sense of wellbeing in preparation for birth. This program is a gift for complete prenatal care during the 21st Century and I am honored to carry this work forward&#8221;. </strong></p>

</strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #000000;">My own journey through pregnancy (for the first time) began this past summer! As I journey through the unfamiliar territory of pregnancy, and creating life from within, I have been learning lots, growing and stretching (not only physically) lots and I have most certainly been humbled by the experience that women before me and alongside me have been experiencing since the beginning of time.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"> To bring further inspiration, enrichment and support to this journey, I have created a new group starting February 22nd (and open any week to new women), for women in pregnancy in Montreal looking to commune with others like themselves on the road to creating new life and motherhood.  All the details are below.  I look forward to meeting you! </span></span></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong><strong>The Pregnancy Circle</strong></strong></span></h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;"> Do you want to join a gathering of women on their journey through pregnancy and into motherhood ?</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">Come join us!  Open any and all weeks. Beginning Tuesday  Feb. 29th, 2011  at 6pm- $15/circle- you can come to any circle and all circles, no commitment required</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">Facilitated by<a href="http://www.juliecusmariu.com/"> Julie Cusmariu, Life Coach, Intuitive Consultant </a>and Pregnant!</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">*Join us any week, or all weeks- Starting February 29th Tuesdays 6-7:30 p.m. $15/circle. In Westmount.</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="mailto:julie@juliecusmariu.com">Rsvp with Julie : julie@juliecusmariu.com .Please rsvp by Monday of every week by 11am</a></p>
<p>Do you want time in your week to tune out from the outside world and tune in to your experience of pregnancy? Do you want time to honor your unique journey and connect to other women going through the same rite of passage into motherhood? Do you want to feel supported, inspired, enriched and empowered in a community of women? If you would, then you are not alone…</p>
<p>This group, facilitated by <a href="http://www.juliecusmariu.com/aboutjulie.html">Julie Cusmariu, Life Coach and Intuitive Consultant</a> is pregnant for the first time and has created <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>The Pregnancy Circle</strong></span> as a space for connection with other women seeking a supportive community interested in sharing and honoring their unique journey- trials, tribulations, grace, grit, joy, fear, thrill, love- all of it!</p>
<p>Come join the pregnancy circle and experience encouragement, enrichment and support to empower your unique journey:</p>
<p>You can expect to experience:</p>
<ul>
<li>a community of women just like you, at different stages of their pregnancy</li>
<li>positive, enriching support  to encourage your process and unique pregnancy journey</li>
<li>recognition and celebration to support the milestones of your pregnancy</li>
<li>discussions on relevant topics sourced from favourite pregnancy books and media</li>
<li>a safe and supportive place to  honestly and consciously express your fears, hopes, and challenges</li>
<li>Exercises that include meditation and visualization to soothe, inspire, heal and relax</li>
<li>guest experts  on nutrition, holistic care- emotional, energetic, spiritual, physical</li>
</ul>
<p>Pregnancy, from Julie’s experience thus far, is a most humbling one! It can bring up many different emotions and experiences that can really stretch and grow you not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually and mentally. In this transformative, creative and transitional time of pregnancy, (where women since the beginning of time have gone before), each woman’s experience whether for the first or fourth time is unique and personal and merits acknowledgement, attention and celebration. It is this experience that you are going through that you are invited to bring and share with you at <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>The Pregnancy Circle</strong></span>.</p>
<p>Whatever trimester you are in, wherever you choose to give birth, and with whomever, you are invited to join <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">The Pregnancy Circle</span></strong>.  Every Tuesday night from 6-7:30 pm there will be a place for you in the circle to share, receive, celebrate, learn, and empower your journey through pregnancy.</p>
<p>*Join us any week, or all weeks- Starting February 29 Tuesdays 6-7:30 p.m. $15/circle. In Westmount.</p>
<p><a href="mailto:julie@juliecusmariu.com">Rsvp with Julie here . Please rsvp by Monday of every week by 11am.</a></p>
<p>To join the circle or inquire further<a href="../thepregnancycircle/mail%20to:julie@juliecusmariu.com"> email Julie here</a>. Spaces are limited.</p>
<p><em>“Circle is the form of endlessness, continuation, calming down, pacifying. In a circle there is no beginning or end- once you’re in the circle, you’re there, participating in wholeness. Nobody is superior, no one is better than anyone else. We sit together in our differences in one nice round shape”</em>. Margaret J. Wheatley taken from her foreward to the book The Circle Way, A Leader in Every Chair by Christina Baldwin &amp; Ann Linea</p>
