Aspirations for the New Year

December 31st, 2009

This year  I have some very realistic ‘living changes’.  I know I can do these!

First, I’m going to sit down in a quiet area and visualize ‘where’ I want to be.  I will incorporate my yoga practice and daily meditation to ground me and enable myself to hold my vision and these thoughts daily.

I may even get out my little notebook and write down these visions so that if I do lose myself somewhere along the line…I can just open the book and focus on the goal.

By focusing my energy on my future, the universe will be there to support me.  And with backing like that…well, how can I go wrong?   Plus, we already know that negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive.  I refuse to send any more negative energy out into the universe.   From here on out, only positive will find me…because only positive will be sent out.

Second, I’m letting go of all the muck and negative energy that binds me into perpetual gloom.  By nature I’m not a gloomy person, but I do have moments when I let those thoughts in and they are hard to shake.   So I’m going to shed myself of negativity.   OUT WITH THE OLD!  Unhealthy relationships?  Goodbye.  Negative people? I’m tuning you out!  Debt and unsurity?  You no longer have my attention.  I’ll be rid of you once and for all eventually.

I’m focusing on what makes me smile, laugh and feel good.   All the other stuff just weighs me down like a soaking wet suit.  Inhibiting me from production and happiness.  So I shed that cloak.

I think that I’ll even write down the things that I need to ‘lose’ and throw the paper in the fire place.  Like a mini ritual just for me.  I will watch the negative go up in smoke and smile because I have released it!

Next, I’m going to stop every day and appreciate something in nature.  Where it’s a tree that I see daily but have never really ‘noticed’ or the feel of the soft wind on my cheek.  I’ll just sit and be still.  I will let that moment in and store it  in my memory.  In fact, I’ll push out a negative memory and replace it with the new nature memory.   I will be grateful for every sound.  Every sight.  For the touch of a snow flake falling on my nose.  I will feel it and experience it and store that sensation away.

Lastly I will make it a part of my day to be physically and mentally healthy.  I’ll meditate and practice yoga.  I will eat right and take care of the body that carries my soul.  My spirit.  I will be kind and happy.  And positive.

If I do all these things, I’m thinkin 2010 will shape up to be a tremendous year!

  1. Wonderful, Sheila! Really sounds like you have gotten clear about what you want, are prepared to take aligned action~affirm, visualize, meditate, and have positive expectations!

    If you haven’t already, start a list of things that lift your spirit and feel good~then if you get tempted by negativity, you have something already prepared to turn your attention toward (and away from the negativity).

    Many blessings,
    Nancy
