January 2009 - New Year Resolutions

Each year, many people set out to make new goals for the new year. This is an excellent exercise and helps to set our intentions and align our energy for the coming year. It also helps to take the time to stop a while from the busy-ness of daily life, think about what we want to leave behind and what we want to carry forward into the new year.

There are many ways to do the annual ritual exercise. Our favorite is this one:

Find a quiet place and meditate about what you want to release from last year.

When you are ready, write down what you want to release on a piece of paper.

Burn the paper, consciously releasing whatever is written there and knowing that it is also gone from your consciousness. If you are not in a safe place for burning, you can tear it up into little pieces and throw it away.

Meditate on what you want for yourself in 2009.

Allow yourself to be open to receiving a word, name or short phrase describing who you are and what is true for you in 2009.

Write down whatever comes to you.

Spend some time understanding the meaning of that word, name or phrase and allow it to assist you this year. Find ways to use that word, name or phrase all year. Each time you use it, reaffirm what it means for you.

Another perspective on New Year resolutions is given in this recent article from the Daily Om: "New Year's Resolutions: The Two Lists" http://www.dailyom.com/articles/2008/16540.html
