As the Chair Turns - January 2022

Happy New Year...!!!

Welp, another year has passed us by.  I hope along the way you were able to make some memorable moments.

I’m looking forward to this coming year and the new beginnings it will bring. The last couple years have been interesting, to say the least.  As challenging as they’ve been there have been some pretty wonderful moments.  Trust me, there have been. Our brain has a natural tendency to notice problems, challenges and difficulties in life and they stick with us.  The task before us (me) is to reflect on those “other parts” and not get stuck on the not so great parts. Seems easy, right?

New year. New horizons. A new pair of glasses.
I’m up for the challenge.  How about you?
​
==============

Beginning this month, I will be across the street in a new salon. I will be at 315 Sutter St. on the 4th Floor, inside Blade & Brush. I know you’ll like the space. You should have received an email from me last month with that announcement.  The entrance and elevator is through the doorway just to the right of the jewelry store.  The elevator drops you off right in the salon (pretty cool, huh?).  I’ll also have this information in your confirmations.

​Speaking about that new pair of glasses, I have something for you to listen to later in the newsletter that might help with self-reflection as we begin this new year.  It’s about changing what we are paying attention to, not necessarily our thinking, and trying to change where we’re putting our attention.

“And so if you just think about being at the end of a day. Or again, let’s use the example, since the timing is that we’re approaching the New Year, the end of the year. If what we’re paying attention to most of the time is the infection counts and the virus statistics, and the political turmoil, and our personal troubles and difficulties, then our experience of life is really painted by that kind of information, the kind of things that we’re attending to.

But when we actually pay attention to the other parts of life, which is that, in my case, that I for instance have not gotten sick. I have a car that drives, that drives me around and it works fine. I have food in my refrigerator. My daughter graduated from college this year even though there wasn’t a ceremony. When we start looking at life in a more complete way, we’re much more likely, I think, to develop a genuine sense of appreciation.”
