I thought I'd share with you a somewhat different take on getting what you want in the upcoming year. Towards the end of every year, I sit down and write a story about the things I would like to have happen in the new year. To me, this sets my unconscious mind in motion toward being, having and doing the things that bring me joy.
I write the story in the past tense, as though it has already happened. I seal the story in an envelope, and then open it on the first day of the following year, to see what came true for me.
Examples of things that I might write about are that I made a certain amount of money, created value for people, started a new foundation, found a new church, went on a certain trip or vacation.
This method of setting a goal or expectation has no measurement, and no pressure. I put it out there, seal it up, and see what happens.
What things would you write in your letter?

Tim, love the idea and as a big picture person, this would fit well into my mental toolbox. I use goal boards alot, but the idea of writing the letter from the future perspective is a great one. What would be in my letter? Hmmmmm, generally speaking we all want the same thing don't we? Health, Wealth and Happiness for us and all those we know and love! Best wishes for the New Year!
Thanks for sharing, posts like this one is what makes Active Rain so great!
Colleen,
Yep we all do want the samethings this is just a different way of asking. You'll have to let me know in a year what came through for you.
Jeremy,
Lots of great ideas on Active Rain.
Happy New Year to all
