New Year's Resolutions!

Happy New Year!

This is a time for new possibilities and opportunities.  We make new resolutions and start afresh.  It's a great time to let go of old patterns and start new beginnings.  I love it! It's not always easy for people to do this, but they set intentions for the new year, but it's sticking to it.  So what we need is motivation!

Motivation and determination.  We need to have things to remind us of what our intentions are… you have to do things to help yourself otherwise we slip back into the same pattern.  I'm sure you are the same. The intention is set for a week or so and then it slips and it goes and then before you know it you are back in the old habit and cycle.  So we need to help ourselves stick to the plan and the goal and we can manifest our dreams. 

So think about this… 

You have to work out what type of person you are, i.e.… visual, auditory or touchy feely and then that will help you decide what is good for you. 

This will help you… which phrase do you find yourself saying when you agree or understand what someone is saying to you.

"I see what you mean?"

"I hear what you are saying?"

"I know how you feel"

Now from that you can determine what type of person you are. 

If you say the first you are visual, if you say the second you are auditory and if you say the last you are more of the touchyfeely type.

Now to help you maintain your goals and intentions you can do something to help you, so here's some ideas. 

If you are visual then put up some pictures that will inspire you in places that you spend a long amount of time.  Such as your screen saver could be a picture of when you were thinner or healthy foods, if your goal is to lose weight.  If you want to write a book the create a picture of the front cover and put it up to inspire you.  You will come up with your own ideas but you need something to look at. 

If you are Auditory, then create a playlist of music that will inspire you to meet your goals.  If you want to lose weight come up with a playlist which will inspire you to move your body.  If you want to increase your spiritual gifts, then find some guided meditations that will help you.  Write down some affirmations that you can say to yourself and record them and play them back on your iPod.  You will come up with your own ideas but it will certainly help you. 

If you are touchyfeely, then you need to have something that you can touch and it will remind you of your goals, it could be a swatch of fabric, it could be a bracelet that you wear to remind you, it could be a ring that will remind you of your intention.  You will also find that if you are this type of person you will also be one of the other types too, so don't dismiss them… and do what feels right to you, to help you stick to your goals.

These are just some ideas and it will help but also call upon friends and family to help you do this too… you need support and this is a great time as everyone is feeling the same!

So believe in yourself and know that you can do anything that you put your mind too… so for me I just need to finish those two squares of Cadbury Milk Chocolate that I have hidden and resist any more chocolate!!! I know I can do it!!!

Happy New Year everyone!
