Happy 2012!
The beginning of the year is always an exciting time. During the month of January, resolutions and grand plans for the year ahead flow with ease. I have an exercise that I like to go through this time of year to help create the best year possible. This process will greatly assist you in seeing those resolutions become reality and grand plans become actionable baby steps. I have been practicing this New Year Process for a few years and its fantastic how well it works, so I wanted to share it with you. The process is powerful, and I can assure you its fun too!
Click play on the video below…
This is fancy formula I use for the New Year Process.
Step 1: Reflect back on what you were grateful for in 2011. Write down what you appreicated. What did you learn? What surprised you? What did you gain? What did you lose?
Step 2: Breath in deep, bringing yourself into the present moment. Look at the categories below and decide which ones really resonate with you. What do you want to change in your life? What are you ready to take action on? What area or category needs the most attention for you to live in balance? What makes you happy or would make you happier?
- Activities
- Contributions
- Emotions
- Family
- Friendship
- Food
- Finances
- Fitness
- Home Environment
- Habits
- Leisure
- Learning
- Love
- Physical Health
- Spiritual Life
- Time
- Travel
- Work
Step 3: This is the juicy good part! After picking the categories you really want to improve – write down in your journal what you want to create in your life during 2012. Remove all limits on yourself and think about what really makes you happy and light your inner fire. Use a fresh new page in your journal (or new sheet of paper) for each category. Write out your ideal life so that it’s sensory specific; how it looks, feels, tastes, and sounds. I would recommend starting with the top 5 categories you would like to focus on in 2012 and take your time with this. You don’t have to write everything out in one sitting. The process is for you to create your goals with joy…so enjoy it!
To make the New Year Process extra jazzy with a Super Power Punch, I have been incorporating my top categories with Goddess Leones Calendar and Guidebook. It is fun to create with the creative beauty of her artwork. She has tools in the guidebook that help break down your big goals down into actionable baby steps.
The guidebook is full of exercises to help you release the past and move forward with what you really want. Click on the image below to head over to Goddess Leones website and learn more. They are less than 10 dollars and worth every penny!
Now is the best time to decide what you really want for 2012. I invite you to practice the New Year Process and share with it those close to you. In sharing your goals and dreams, it holds you accountable and brings light to that inner fire! Don’t just think about what you want this year….GO DO IT!!
Thanks for spending time with me on the blog today. I honor you for wanting the best for you.
May you shine bright in 2012 and light up the world around you as live your life full of passion and on purpose!
