1. Words of Wisdom:

"When you pray for things, you are really seeking the feeling the thing brings you. Cultivate the feeling, and the thing becomes secondary. Then it will come spontaneously and effortlessly." -- Alan Cohen

"Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, a vision."--Muhammad Ali

2. "Intuitive Goal" setting:

I'm thrilled to announce you can read the full article on 'Intuitive Goal' setting in January's issue of Ms. Fitness Magazine!!

In a couple of months, you will be thinking about your New Year's resolutions. How will you actually keep them this year without letting them fall by the wayside? Have you ever lost track of your goals by the third week in January? It's important to set goals for the New Year, but it's equally important to follow through on them. That's why it's important to set 'Intuitive Goals' for this New Year. What is your souls purpose goals? What are you here to do?

The difference between a resolution, or goal and an 'Intuitive Goal' is that an 'Intuitive Goal' truly uplifts you. It is one that is inspirational. When you are setting an 'Intuitive Goal' you are really paying attention to how it makes you feel when you set that goal. It is not the same one you have been setting every year ie.. "I will go to the gym three times a week starting January 1st." It is more like, "I see myself working out with a gym partner three times a week, really getting to know and understand how each exercise effects my muscles and what exercises I can do to effect certain parts of my body. I see myself really understanding how nutrition effects my ability to function as well as replenish myself after my workouts." An 'Intuitive Goal' is about listening to what excites you about achieving this goal. A deeper meaning behind the goal is what we are looking for. You feel an energy shift in your body when you think about an "Intuitive Goal" and you're uplifted.

Another point to be made in regards to setting "Intuitive Goals" and being successful at attaining our "Intuitive Goals" - is to clean up unresolved feelings from the past - specifically grief and resentment. Again this is a very important point. For instance, resentment keeps us stuck in the past and we can't hear how the Universe may be guiding us toward our 'Intuitive Goal' in the moment.

If we keep starring at the past and feeling resentful in the present about the past it keeps it in the now and therefore on-goingly carries it into our future. And then finally in regards to loss, loss needs to be processed also. With loss we need to allow ourselves to be where we are in our lives with the grief and embrace it, as opposed to feeling like we have to hurry up and move on or replace the loss with something else. Eventually, we get into some sort of acceptance about the issue. And in this acceptance we can move forward.

So, there you go. This is some of what I've discovered over the years about New Years goals. That "New Years" goals actually get us into trouble. We don't keep them. We actually get into resentment and loss over the thing! "Oh, My!" But, by setting "Intuitive Goals" we are on our soul's purpose therefore, inspired into action and manifesting in ways that are truly (seemingly)miraculous!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Thank you for being in my life this past year!
