Start from New

So stop trying to fix what you already have, and just start from “new.” You can begin right now.

Time to get out your journal, or 2 pieces of paper.

On one sheet of paper write down everything that you are resentful, angry or feeling “blah” about. This is stuff you need to release (for your spirit’s sake). Forgiveness does wonders for your life (just remember that it isn’t about being okay with what happened or the other person. It is about allowing yourself to let it be.)

If you are really stuck, and want to release these feelings, try the Sedona Method (http://www.sedona.com/the-four-ways-of-releasing-surrender.aspx). It’s 4 simple questions that will help you to determine if you’re ready to let go, and then guide you through it.

Be patient with yourself. It might take some effort for you purge these feelings from your life.

Once you’re done that,  write down everything you want for the new year.  Be sure to stretch yourself a little so that you grow. Goals that scare you a little (in a good, excited kind of way) are perfect growth accelerators. Don’t worry about the HOW part quite yet, just have some fun writing things down.

That’s it. If you want a more advanced version, you can continue with the exercise by burning the first sheet with all of the things you want to release on it. As you burn it (safely in a fire place or pit, or some sort of vessel meant for fire), repeat your intention to release those things. Note how good you feel when the paper has burned.

With the goals for your 2010 year, create a Wish Box.

Find a box with a lid (like a photo box) that you can use just for you. I found one at the Dollar Store for $2.

Label it: My 2010 Wish Box

On the underside of the lid (so no one can see) write:

This or something better, from a place of love and caring, for the best circumstances for me and everyone involved. And so it is.

That statement sets up the intention that your goals/manifestations will come from a place of love, not destruction. (ie: walking onto a car lot, and easily negotiating the exact car you want vs getting rear ended and fighting with the insurance company for months before getting paid so you can buy your new car).

Then write each of your goals or wishes on a recipe card. Detail it out, as precisely as possible. Note how you want to feel when you receive it.

Place it in your wish box with the intention of receiving it easily, and by knowing exactly the next step you need to take to receive it.

Do that wish each of your goals, and then keep it up with any new goals you think of through out the year. Keep the box in an honored place (not somewhere with it just collected dust or dirt or can get damaged). Think of how you treat this box, as how you treat your goals. Cherish it and respect it.

I adapted the Wish Box exercise from a favorite of mine in the book:Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires by Jerry and Esther Hicks.

Release the old, cherish the new!
