From: Mystical Earth GalleryIt happened.  Just admit it.  On New Year's Eve you put the silly  party hat on, popped a bottle of the "bubbly," and then sang Auld Lang Syne in your loudest, prettiest singing voice.  Confess it...you then made a few resolutions for the New Year.

My three resolutions are among the top 10 resolutions made by Americans.  I am going to lose at least a few pounds, perhaps even more.  I want to slow life down a little and focus on the things that really matter. friends, and family.  I am going to take care of my spiritual, physical and mental health by eating better and sleeping more.  Also included in the top 10 New Years' resolutions are quite smoking, enjoy life more, quit drinking, get out of debt, learn something new, help other and get organized. All are admirable goals.

New Year's resolutions are made by 40 to 45 percent of the American population. Seventy-five percent of us will keep those resolutions for one week; 71 percent of us keep them for two weeks; 64 percent of us keep them for one month; and 456 percent of us will keep those resolutions for six months.   The good news for those of us making resolutions is that we are 10 times more likely to succeed at our goals than those folks who do not make New Year's resolutions.

It sure would be nice to have a little more  help when it comes to keeping our resolutions and succeeding at our goals.  The properties nad attribures ofminerals and crystals may just be the extra firepower we need to help us reach our goals.  Here are the top 10 resolutions made with those minerals that will help us get  there just a little bit easier: 

• Lose Weight- Two carneilan Therapy stones,  strand of poppy jasper gemstones, labradorite slab, heulendite specimen, abalone butterfly pendant and Alena Zena carnelian pendant
• Get physically fit-blue lace agate to maintain good health, bloodstone brings good health
• Spend more time with friends and family -moonstone, milky or snow quartz, diopside, heulendite and smoky quartz.

•  Learn something new- as pictured right :  Argentina Condor agate, Fluorite slab, with Amber pendant by Alena Zena, Moldative specimen, Amethyst cluster,  Tektite pendant and  Smoky quartz wand.
• Get organized-fluorite and moldavite
• Help others-rose quartz, milky quartz, aventurine and diopside

• Get out of debt and create wealth.  Citrine, Zincite, Condor agates and Pyrite
• Quit smoking-Onyx, Rhodochrosite, Moldavite, Amethyst, Charolite and Purple fluorite.
• Quit drinking-Rhodochrosite, Onyx, Amethyst, quartz, green aventurine and Charolite
• Enjoy Life more-Moonstone

As you start the process of change, you may find that carnelian, citrine and Tibetan crystals will energize you as you start your new behaviors.  Labradorite, moonstone and charolite are good for general change and new beginnings.  As you start the New Year, may you enjoy and succeed at all that life offers.
