New
Year's Resolutions
The turn of the new year is a wonderful
opportunity for all of us. It is a time to reflect back upon the
past year and assess how the last 365 days were. A time to
remember those special moments created, and a time to gain a bit of
wisdom about the things we may have done differently. It is also
an opportunity to declare to ourselves how we will move forward into
the new year. It is with high hopes and great expectations that
we set our intentions on making this year better than the year
before. We make our resolutions to be healthier and happier...
to stop smoking... to lose weight... to become all that we know we can
be.
As it so often happens, little by little our
resolve diminishes and soon we find ourselves playing out our same old
patterns. Is it happening to you already? You had such
good intentions... You were determined that this time it was going to
be different... You thought that this time you would finally
succeed. But what you may not have realized is that you can't
make this big changes through will power alone. It never
works. NEVER.
The key is to change your beliefs. You must
change your inner thoughts and beliefs. Try this:
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath.
Allow yourself to relax. In your mind's eye, take yourself into
the future where you have already achieved your goal. Allow
everything about this scene to become lifelike... hear the sounds,
smell the smells, see the sights, feel your emotions. Discover
what it is about this scene that you absolutely love and why you
deserve to have it. Feel the success. Feel the
freedom. When you have this experienced heightened as much as
possible, ask yourself "What is the one thing that I did to make
all this possible?" Then listen for the answer. Spend
as much time in this future moment as you like, and when you are ready
bring back all the wisdom you have just gained, promising yourself
that you will visit this future time often.
This exercise will allow you to gain a bit of
hindsight into your current life. Perhaps there are things you
need to change in your life, even if it is just a new
perspective. The answers always come when you take the time to
listen. Most importantly, always act upon the information and
make the necessary changes.
My wish is that you discover your own potential
in all that you do, wherever you are in life. It is never to
late to take time for yourself, and you are worth the time and
attention. Be gentle with yourself, and may all your wishes come
true. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
All the best,
Krysti
Affirmation
Clothing
Hooray! The first ten women’s affirmation t-shirts were unveiled online this past
month, and were developed with the intention to facilitate conscious
awareness of living positively in each moment. Imprinted upon
the front of each shirt is a focusing word or thought, while the
reverse reveals the image of a butterfly along with an inspirational
affirmation. Each affirmation helps remind people of their inner
wisdom and their ability to create the life they want. The
butterfly symbolizes the growth and change experienced on life’s
journey.
The t-shirt affirmations serve to focus energy
and attention upon what is desired, rather than what is not. All
internal dialogue that takes place in the mind is a reflection of the
deep inner thoughts and beliefs that are held; this dialogue can be
shifted to healthy and beneficial truths and desires. Since the
human mind tends to search for things that are in harmony with its
assumptions and expectations, every time it encounters something in
agreement with these beliefs it is then reinforced.
Jack
Canfield, co-creator of The Chicken Soup for the Soul book
series, and other guests on Larry King Live (CNN) in November shared
similar explanations of the power of thought and focused attention to
help create an ideal life. Movies
such as The Secret and What the Bleep Do We Know? are also helping people to understand
that by focusing your attention upon the things you want and believe,
you change the way you experience the world.
The
resulting domino effect that occurs when one person changes their
perspective, thus changing their actions and experiences with others,
is too great to be measured, but its effects are far-reaching since on
some level we are all connected to each other and the world around us.

The
affirmation t-shirts are currently available for $19.95 online (www.powerful-mind.com/inspiration.htm)
