Friday QuickTips for Creating a Wonderful 2006

The beginning of the year is a great time to get back to basics.

“Change your thinking, change your life.” It’s true! So the

first skill for changing your life in 2006 is paying attention to

your thoughts and changing the ones that are not focused

on the life you want.

1. Pay attention to your thoughts. Are you thinking negatively

about finances or finding a relationship or your career or health?

Change your thoughts to reflect what you DO want.

2. Review the basics for positive affirmations: they are personal,

positive, present tense (as though they are already a reality.)

Use enthusiastic words to infuse your affirmations with energy.

Create powerful affirmations for the areas you want to change.

3. Take time to write out your affirmations for 2006 and your

Ideal Life. Buy a special journal for recording these. They are

your heart's desire. Take time to create your life as carefully

as you do your vacations. Set aside a specific time every

week (or even every day if possible!) to write affirmations.

4. Be patient and loving with yourself. Criticism only slows down

the process of change. As you are more loving with yourself,

you will automatically become more loving with others.

5. Everyday look at yourself in the mirror and say, “I love and accept

you just the way you are.” And while you're at it, say your affirmations

in the mirror, too!

6. Meditate daily. In the quiet of meditation you develop

the connection with Spirit and your intuition that guides

you in every situation.

7. Take a few minutes daily to visualize the life you want.

This can be just when you are waking up in the morning or

just before you go to bed, or at the end of your meditation.

8. Pay attention to your feelings. Using affirmations to suppress

feelings doesn’t work. Journal about your feelings to help

resolve them.

9. Look for places in your community and beyond where you

can contribute. If you don’t have money to contribute, donate

your time to help others.

10. Practice gratitude on a daily basis. Condition your mind

to think about what you’re grateful for as many times as

possible during the day.

Wishing you a wonderful new year filled with

joy, peace, love, and abundance of all kinds!
