Happy New Year! Did you make resolutions to change habits or behaviors for the new year? Do you believe you will be successful? Can you see yourself achieving the things you resolved to do?
The most successful people I know are visionaries - they work backwards! What I mean by that, is that they step forward to the end of their goal and look back. They know the exact things they had to do to get there, and they do them. Most people look to the horizon towards their goal, making it something that's out there looming somewhere in their future, but they're not sure exactly where it is, or how to get there.
I challenge you to step forward and work backwards!
Grab a pen and paper, or your computer, and find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Sit down in a comfortable chair, and then, step forward into Dec 31, 2011! Imagine what 2011 looked like. What happened? What did you accomplish? What great changes or improvements took place in your life? Write down all the things you achieved during the year with regards to relationships, career, finances, love, health and fitness. Don't leave anything out.
When you were a kid, did you ever imagine you could fly, or defeat a dragon? I remember when I was a young girl that I used to pretend that I won the Miss Teen Canada pageant! I also used to pretend I could fly, jumping around the living room with my arms spread wide like wings! Looking back, it was funny, but I pretended with all my might it was real and it felt great!
Imagination is a powerful thing! Kids believe anything is possible, and they let have fun letting their imaginations soar! Adults stop playing, afraid to be silly and have fun, and because of that, imaginations hibernate. Your imagination still exists, you just need to wake it up!
What I want you to do next is bring your imagination out to play! It might feel a little silly at first, but you're just not used to it! It won't take long to awaken and then you can harness it's power. Step into Dec 31, 2011 and what it feels like to have done all the things you did. Savor the feeling of amazing accomplishment and success!
Your mind believes what you tell it to, so tell it to believe the best!
Isn't it interesting, how easy it is to worry and to anticipate a negative outcome? Well, it's just as easy to anticipate a positive outcome! Once you shift your perspective, it all falls into place - anticipating and believing the positive becomes your new mindset.
Once you believe it, you can achieve it - so here's to your upcoming year of abundance and prosperity!
