MONTHLY MESSAGE from TRACY, KATE & MEG
January 2008 - Intentions for the New Year
The wonderful thing about the New Year is that we give ourselves permission to take a life inventory and make some new resolutions to guide our future. Whether you are reading or watching "The Secret" or scanning the shelves of the self-help section of the book store, we all seem to be getting clear that we are each creating our own reality through our thoughts, attitudes and beliefs. It seems that now, perhaps more than ever before, our thoughts are quickly manifesting into our reality. Understanding this truth, it is important to create thoughts that support your deepest desires and highest intentions for 2008.
You will find your way to your deepest and truest life expression on the path that is entered through the stillness of your heart. The first step in creating a life of meaning and passion is to really listen to the yearnings and whispers of your inner voice. Begin this year by spending some quiet time journaling on the question, "What does my heart long for?" Whether you long to create a real love affair with your partner, to heal a relationship with a family member or friend, to improve your health or finances, to find a new job, or to spend more time gardening, painting, writing, or making music, these desires are tied to your passion and deserve your energy, time and attention.
From your journaling, write three to four statements that align with the desires you want to bring forward in your life this year. Write these statements down on separate note cards as affirmations in clear, positive, present-tense sentences. For example, if you are working on your relationship with your significant other, one statement might look like this: "I spend time each day loving and appreciating my partner and receive love and appreciation in return." This simple statement sets a clear intention with positive energy, and begins to draw your desires toward you. Place these cards in a place where you will see them every day and allow yourself to reinforce the intentions every time you see them.
Once you have set some clear intentions, remember that you are the creative agent in your life. The next step in creating your desires is to support and nurture these desires by taking action. Too many of us wait for something we long for to come to us without taking the action steps to create it. Then we become discouraged and disappointed when life doesn't go our way. The secret is to begin today actively shaping the year with hope and intention by getting clear about what you want, holding your intention with consistent and optimistic energy, and taking action. The universe will show up every time to support you.
Remember, no matter where you are right now in your life, anything is possible if it comes with positive energy from your heart, is in alignment with your thoughts and intentions, and is pursued with steady, consistent and focused action. May your New Year be filled with many miracles as you come to know and express the beauty and wisdom of your truest Self. We wish you a happy, peaceful, and joyful New Year.
Blessings,
Tracy, Kate and Meg
