2012 is Just Around the Corner!

Resolutions or Intentions - What's Your Plan?

In just a few short days it will be January 1, 2012.  A fresh new year.  Time to start thinking about whether or not to make some resolutions, or  . . .  are New Years' Resolutions a thing of the past?  How many times have we made a resolution and then let if fall by the way side by February or March.  I know I have!

Over the past few years I have stopped making resolutions, and have chosen to set "intentions" instead.  It may seem like semantics, but it really is different.   What makes it different?  My belief is that a "resolution" is more like a goal.  It is setting some ambition out in front of yourself and then you strive to achieve it.  Where as, an "intention" is internally motivated from a deeper desire.  The intention is created based on heart felt desires and then energy is stimulated and the law of attraction begins its process of manifestation.

"Intention is a very powerful force in nature."  -Dr. Amit Goswami, Quantum Physicist

The process of setting intentions begins with taking some time to daydream.  It requires finding some quiet space to be alone, uninterrupted, then daydreaming about how you would like your life to be.  This isn't about reality - it is about using your imagination and exploring your dreams.  Play out a variety of scenarios that get you excited!  When we were kids we could do this with ease!  As we grow into adulthood we become focused on "reality" and forget how to daydream altogether.  But it really is a necessary skill!

"Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one."    - Albert Einstein

Once you take some time to daydream. Then begin to focus on some part of the dream that you can really imagine possible.  Get as clear as you can - write is down and describe it in detail.  Lynne McTaggart, in her book, The Intention Experiment, suggests once you have an idea take the following steps.

• Create your intention - write it down and make it specific.
• Mentally rehearse every moment of it with all your senses.
• Visualize, in vivid detail, your intention as established fact.
• Move aside - surrender to the power of the universe and let go of the outcome.

Once you create that intention and can visualize it in detail then it is just a matter of time before it becomes real.  

With four days left in 2011 I hope you take some time to imagine the life your heart and soul desires and you create an intention for 2012!  Let me know if you do - I love to support people in manifesting their best life!

In the spirit of possibilities, Cindy
