Step One:
Reflecting on 2013, consider the following areas of your life: personal life/spiritual development; romance/intimacy; wellness/self-care; finances; career/business; physical environment; social life/fun;
list your wins, successes and breakthroughs;
list your "losses", disappointments and breakdowns. Now set these aside - they are part of your past.
Step Two:
Choose 5-7 lessons you have learned this year that you would like to take with you into 2014. When you decide which lessons to include, remember that these are lessons that you will use consciously in the new year.
Step Three:
Now imagine that it is December of 2014. Make a list of your wins, successes and breakthroughs. Be specific, and write them as though they have already happened. Make the list as long as you like.
Consider combining this exercise with a "vision board" - this can take the form of a story, a collage or a sketch - however you are comfortable expressing yourself. The vision board is for your eyes only - so feel free to create whatever feels right (hint: keep it simple, focused - too much clutter can obscure your vision!).
Which wins, successes or breakthrough resonate for you?
Which ones create a flutter? Excitement?
Which ones can you, in an intentional way, create in the coming year?
