You're so much more than in this moment
The word “resolutions” pertaining to the New Year has kind of gone by the wayside. What I mean by this is that I’m hearing more from people that they have shifted their commitment to making changes using new verbiage. Some people are doing this intentional and some don’t even know they are making a shift…but they will.
Instead of using the words ‘resolutions’ or ‘goal setting’ which usually lead to disappointment by the end of the month, the power of the deeper pledge to oneself is rising. Work out gyms bank on an escalation of new membership in January because of people feeling that they ‘should’ join because of (you fill in the blank).
However, if it is something you think you should do vs something you are intending to do February is going to tell you the real truth. Using words like intention, desire, commitment are rising like a phoenix out of the ashes and this is so cool to hear. Thoughts that are accompanying these words come from a deeper, knowing heartfelt space within called our intuition; a place of really knowing what is right for us because you can feel, see, taste and touch its truth. And the body doesn’t lie! Listen for an elicit response from your body after you think or speak from either a negative or positive place and you pay heed.
The power of thought is just that…powerful and empowering. Energy is energy and since there is absolutely nothing in the Universe that isn’t made of energy then there are no exceptions, ergo so are your thoughts! It’s that simple. Your outlook towards anything in life aligns with your body and will make manifest whatever you are putting out.
An example would be if you are taking the negative vantage point on something. Not only will you create negativity around you using words like ‘can’t, but, should, not enough, bad, hard, failure but your entire body will take a hit. And just the opposite occurs when you decide to find the positive in everything around you. You body LOVES optimism so why not ‘feed’ it what it wants to hear by using words that elicit confidence, grace, gratitude, absolute, brilliance, inspiring etc.
We are in the first month of 2020, a new decade; 2020 hindsight, 2020 vision we can reflect back to what worked last year and what we look forward to designing moving forward. In numerology the number 4 signifies a code of peace, hard work and perseverance while creating a foundation that leads to creating a foundation for lasting success and fine-tuning our values that will be long-standing throughout the rest of our life.
Marianne Williamson said it so poignantly when she wrote “Our Deepest Fears” a speech used by Nelson Mandela for his inaugural speech as President of South Africa in 1994. To paraphrase Marianne said “Who are we to be beautiful, wonderful, powerful beyond measure? Who are we not to be? We are all children of God and your playing it small doesn’t serve anyone. Liberating from our own fear liberates others.”
Now is the time to refresh and to give yourself the opportunity to rise to a new level of Being You; focus on what your intuition is or has been telling you and dig in. Practice bringing positivity into your thoughts, words and actions every day. Practice, practice, practice and be mindful of your words and thoughts because if you want to be good at anything in life it requires this discipline.
Affirmations (the act of affirming) are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging and negative thoughts. They are easy to write and remind you as to what you are hoping to anchor as you move on this life journey. Post them somewhere you will see them often and simply repeat to yourself or out loud daily

If you can think of something better to do with your life right now while in the mindset of striking while the irons are hot then by all means follow your heart.
However, I do know as an LA life coach and from personal experience on my own life’s journey that by setting new intentions on behalf of your more evolved self will lighten up the paths that await you. You will approach life with more gusto, more love of adventure, more excitement while feeling more empowered and inspired in knowing that no matter where you go, there you are, rocking your world, being your best and most wonderful Self.
With heartfelt blessings,
