Let's talk about your New Year's resolutions for a few moments. Humor me. This is a good one!
For how many years have we set New Year's resolutions for ourselves? And how many of those resolutions have we kept for longer than three months? All of them? Congratulations! I'm SO jealous!!! You are among the 8% of people who actually keep their New Year's Resolutions! You are among an elite group of Rock Stars!!!
As for the rest of us mere mortals, I have an idea for you - and for me. I have taken this approach to setting New Year's resolutions for several years now, and it works so well for me, that I wanted to share it with you. Here it is:

Rather than deciding what you want to do or to change in your life this year, consider giving some thought to who you want to BE instead! Wow! What a concept!
Rather than a list of resolutions, or a to do list. Make a "TO-BE" list instead! What??? Seriously??? Yes. Seriously. And it is much easier than it sounds. Take a few minutes - like 30 or 60. Get your mind into a state of feeling as though anything is possible. Absolutely anything!

Here is a list of questions to get you started in this direction:
Who do you want to become this year?
Do you want to be a glamorous person?
Do you want to be a thin person?
Do you want to be an elegant person?
Do you want to be a world traveler?
Do you want to be an educated person?
Do you want to be more gentle to those around you?
Do you want to be more loving to those around you?
Compassionate?
More friendly?
More financially secure?

Do you want to be more effective at your job?
How do you want to show up every day?
Whatever it is that you want to be, you have to live your life AS THAT PERSON. And do it RIGHT NOW.

Whatever it is that you want to be, you have to live your life AS THAT PERSON. And do it RIGHT NOW.
Ask yourself this: How does a "_________" person live their life? How does a KIND person live? How does a GLAMOROUS person live? How does a GENEROUS person live? Then - and know that you are COMPLETELY capable of doing this - live your life the way that person would live their life! How does a thin person, an educated person, a world traveler live their life? Figure it out and GO BE HER!!!
You will find, I promise you, that it is much easier to live a life that represents the person you want to become than it is to set and live by a set of goals, tasks and resolutions! Rather than living in a datebook that is full of tasks and to do lists, this year try a Journal that is full of ideas, thoughts and a creative outlet that will help mold you into the individual you desire to become.
Living your life as the person you wish to be will enable you to create the life you are truly longing for.
I wish you the happiest and most magical New Year you've ever lived!!!
