On This Last Day of 2008 Set Intentions for 2009

In a few hours 2008 will end and a new year will dawn. There are so many opportunities available to us in the new year – if we avail ourselves of them and live consciously!!

Traditionally the New Year heralds the making of lists of resolutions. How about doing something a little bit different this year? Since resolutions of the past may bring up experiences of defeat or powerlessness, this year you can begin differently so that you are bound to succeed!!

Look over the following steps to a new conscious living process for creating good things. See if it resonates with you. If so, then give it a try!!

Look back over 2008 and think of all your successes. Celebrate what you have accomplished. Focus gratitude for what you have achieved and received as blessings!
Re-visit any old intentions from last year that have not yet been fulfilled or carried out. Decide which of these may be viable goals for 2009.
Incorporate some aspect of journaling into your life for the new year. This can be jotting down your daily achievements, high points, successes, gratitudes, issues, emotions, thoughts. Whatever you wish to record you may.
Utilize the act of “scripting” into your journaling, where you write about already having whatever you intend, and specifically describe how you FEEL as you live the RESULTS of what you intend. In other words, it is like writing the scenario for a play – in YOUR future. Describe all of the sense-based details: how does it FEEL, what does it LOOK like, how does it SMELL, describe TANGIBLE textures, what do you HEAR in the scenario, WHO is with you, WHERE are you, etc. etc. Really get into the FEELING of having/living the results of whatever you set as your goal or intention.
Identify any blockages or emotional charges you have that might challenge or block your success. [Consider learning to apply Emotional Freedom Technique or some other powerful energy-shifting technique. Go to: www.emofree.com for more information.]
Examine your personal self-help toolbox to determine what you need to support you to get beyond the blockages. Commit to using your tools.
