11 Wishes for You in 2011

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

Take Care of Yourself: It is not selfish, but self”full” to take care of your own needs. Recognize you can only give to others what you are able to give to yourself.

Dare to Be Your “Self”: How do you want to be inside and out? Have fun and play. You don’t have to be what others expect. Come out and be you.

Trust Your Heart: The center of you resides in your heart; pause and listen.  Don’t give yourself away. Choose who and how you want to give.  Trust takes time.

Look and Listen to Your Inner Guide: What is that little voice saying to you?  Turn within to become aware of what is driving your needs.

Appreciate the Beauty Inside: Many of us are still learning to appreciate ourselves, our beauty and all our gifts.  Take time to appreciate how far you have come on the journey.  Notice and write down the areas you have worked through and the commitment you have made to your growth and healing.

Let Go of Guilt (Repeat): We are so hard on ourselves; other people we can forgive, but often we beat ourselves up. Practice each day letting go of guilt you feel for honoring yourself.

Be Aware of Your Intentions: Set real intentions; if the outside intention you are setting doesn’t match the internal emotional intention, it will fall away. We call that a split intention. (Example: I really want that new job; I don’t feel good enough to get that job)

Find Your Voice: What speaks to you in the world—what makes you feel Alive; the arts of any form are a great way to find your voice—dance, sing, drum, play…

Let Love In: Allow your heart to drop deeper and deeper with each passing day into love. Be vulnerable and see how love grows. How do you want to let love in?

Discover Your ONENESS: What keeps you connected to yourself and others?

Celebrate Your Courage and Grace: See each day as an opportunity to celebrate our courage and grace.  When do you celebrate yourself?  How do you celebrate yourself?

OUR AUTHENTIC JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A RECONNECTION WITH OUR TRUE SELVES.

Happy & Healthy 2011~
