Whatever you do or dream you can do – begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I am all about living intentionally so it should come as no surprise that I have established a process I use every year. It is a synthesis of Cynthia Occelli’s Renewal process and John and Missy Butcher’s Lifebook process. Both take a look at the previous year and assess what went well and what remains to have some attention paid to it. Both are a 360 degree look at all aspects of your life but that is where the similarities end.

In any case, I find that taking the time to conduct a retrospective, a clearing and release, and goal or intention-setting for the year gets me clear on not only where I’ve been but also where I want to go. It is not locked in stone but establishes the guardrails that I use throughout the year that keep me On Purpose and in my Flow. It also provides a foundation for celebrating small and large victories and life’s joyful and successful moments.

This practice is particularly powerful for me because it also tells my Inner Critic that I AM COMMITTED TO ME. I MATTER and WHAT I WANT IN LIFE MATTERS. Who wouldn’t want to start their year with such a powerful affirmation? !! And refer back to it often to celebrate your intentions for yourself, your relationships, and your BEINGNESS in the world. This practice turns my Inner Critic into a powerful and more positive ally as I show myself every day that every moment and every step takes me that much closer to my dreams!

I encourage you to also start this kind of a practice. It empowers you to live your best life, is life affirming of your highest goals and intentions, and is much more powerful and effective than a New Year’s Resolution!!
