Secrets for Turning Resolutions into Realities, part 2
January 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Your incentive for making a New Year’s resolution should essentially be the same incentive that will see you through to a successful resolution, or the realization of your goal. This should be your desire — the thing that you most want to change in the coming year. Your New Year’s resolution is, in a very real sense, a prayer for your New Year.
All prayers begin with desire — the desire to have, do, or be something, to change something for others, or to simply give thanks and experience a deeper inner connection with your true self and the Creative Source from which you emerged. Accomplishing whatever it was you decided to pray for is your primary incentive for praying; this is also the case with a resolution. A resolution is not a “preference;” it’s a RESOLUTION. You don’t have to beat yourself up about what you have called, “mistakes,” or, “shortcomings;” simply declare the thing you wish to be so and, whenever you feel you have fallen short, declare it again. You have the power to create your reality; but to do so, you must hold an image of what you want in your mind until it “solidifies.”
Removing clutter and distractions from your life will help you regain your energy and focus in order to direct more of both toward your desires, or goals. The more things you have to think about, the less time and attention you can give to any of them. Declare your intentions to yourself; write them down and remind yourself often, “No matter where I seem to be at the moment, ‘THIS’ is where I am in mind, spirit, and body.” And be specific as you declare what ‘THIS’ is. The secret of life is in the details; the difference between a “stick figure” and the “Mona Lisa” is the difference between a casual interest and an answered prayer. Of course, it is much quicker to draw a stick-man than paint a masterpiece; but are you more worried about TIME, or the nature and quality of you EXPERIENCE (LIFE). Define what ‘THIS’ is for you; clarify your desire, declare it, and affirm it. What do you REALLY want?
The Belief Formula Guidebook/Workbook will be available soon; and it is designed to help you wrap your mind completely around “whatsoever you desire…” If you get in your car and start driving without really knowing where you are going, or what the place looks like, how will you get there — and how will you know if you do? Add details to your masterpiece whenever you wish; and when enough color has been added in just the right places, your desire becomes a reality.
*All of these posts are, in one way or another, about thinking. Specifically, these posts are about thinking in specific ways to promote health and healing, wellness, wholeness, happiness, peace, and contentment. Over the holiday season, many of the posts focused on weight-loss, food, etc, simply because this is a growing health issue, and one of the more common New Year’s resolutions. Though there will be more on natural/spiritual/mental/physical pathways to health, wellness, and fitness; the next posts on creating change will be on relationship resolutions and building strong, enlightened relationships that empower both participants. By the way, if you are interested in weight-loss and you are in ANY relationship, then these articles will also help you release some of the stress and reasons for making and holding extra body fat. By coming to understand yourself and how you “work,” you will better understand others and how the world around you works — making a simple thing of changing your reality.
