I’ve been through enough New Years transitions now to have a new perspective on them: no judgment. Just observation.
What I mean by this is to keep it real, personal, and loving. Judgment doesn’t work well for any subject for any of the 365 days of the year so why bring judgment into this topic now? Observing what was accomplished in your current year to develop new goals for the next one sounds real, personal, and loving. It’s an exciting time of the year so let’s utilize that excitement to move forward.
List all of your achievements of this current year. You’ll probably be surprised by what pops up. I was doing this with my husband earlier today, and he reminded me of many items on our list. It was thrilling to relive what we were able to to achieve together!
In that excitement, step up to the new year with, “What’s next?” energy. Create a new list!. Don’t hold back. Dream. sense the ideas bubble up from within you.
I know…not everything was peaches and cream in every year. As with anything, you always have options.
- List the unwanted events and ceremonially burn the list while stating, “You are complete.”
- List the unwanted events and while looking at them state, “I am bigger than this. I am more than this.”
- List the unwanted events and have a good laugh because infusing laughter into each event lessens the intensity of them.
Don’t like lists? Don’t want to even think about what happened? You have options!
- Stand tall outside with hands on hips and state, “All negativity from _____ (you can put anything in this blank) and previous years is now complete and will not be brought forth into ____.”
- Look in the mirror and state, “I only bring with me that what I need to grow to my fullest potential.”
- Write in your personal journal as often as it feels good: _____ is my year of complete freedom. ______ is my year of complete potential realized.
You always have options with everything. These strategies are for any subject!
