11 Tips for a Powerful New Year
1. Forget about resolutions; instead make a list of “absolute yeses”, or how you really want to spend your time and resources in 2007. If it’s reading good books and spending quality time with loved ones then you will have little time for TV.
2. Treat your body like the priceless creation that it is. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat fewer foods that are manufactured. Drink green tea & plenty of water and eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.
3. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 7.
4. Clear your clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
5. Give yourself the time to journal plan how you want your life to go – most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do their lives!
6. The average American drives 15,000 miles equivalent to about 500 hours in the car each year. Listen to educational cd’s while driving. Dale Carnegie once said leaders are learners. In most cities you can search your library online – and have any item delivered to the library in your neighborhood.
7. Give yourself the gift of meditation, yoga, tai chi or prayer – whatever works to help you find balance. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
9. Just before going to sleep answer the following question: What are three things that went will today and why?
10 Upon waking and prior to going to sleep visualize the way you would like to see your life go. These are the times when our minds are most open to suggestion.
11. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. |
