This time of year is always a bit awkward as the holidays have
passed and the New Year is still waiting to start. It's a bit of a slow time to
say the least, leaving most people unsure if they should be resting or gearing
up for all their New Year's resolutions.
It's a perfect time for setting intention. Being that it is
still winter, there is no real rush in energy but just as the sun has started setting later in the day so shall we. We can steadily start
to increase our energy just like the sun. Now is a great time to start creating
your intention and goals for the New Year.
Creating the intention is a bit different that setting up a
hundred New Year's Resolution Goals. It’s how you want it to be ("Being vs
Doing") Maybe you want 2015 to "Be" adventurous or
"Be" love or "Be" curious. By simply creating an overall
intention you set the tone for New Year geared to you. Once you have set the
tone you can look at what it is you truly want to create.
Start by writing everything you want to do or would do if
you couldn't fail. Think in terms of personal, career and health and remember
to THINK BIG! Then, start to pick the ones you can't live without. Under each
category you only want to have 2-3 goals.
After you have picked your 2015 goals, write them as if they have
already happened and give them a "by when".
Example: "I have run the Honolulu Marathon." By Dec 6,
2015.
By creating a "by when" you are more likely to hit the
goal you have created within that time frame. By stating the goal as if it's
already happened, you program your mind that you have already done it. This helps give you confidence in attaining it.
The last element to creating intention and goals is to share them
with everyone. Post your goals in your home where you and everyone else can see
them and when in conversation ask others what they are creating and share what
you are up to. Not only will you both walk away inspired but you have created
the energy of what you want to go forth. We are more likely to achieve all that
we want in life by sharing it with others.
So, as you find yourself in this slow energy that gaps the New
Year, create intention and brain storm on what you want 2015 to look like not
just with "Doing with "Being" as well.
