New Year's Resolutions...

[Mindy Audlin]

Have you set a few already? Maybe resolutions take a different spin for you, but for me, they've become a bit of a burden. My "specific, measurable goals" each seem to bite me by the end of January. It's not fun. It's not inspiring. It's a finish line, and I feel the sting of failure whenever I miss my mark.

What if... this year we tried something completely different?

What if we let go of the traditional New Year's resolutions and tried something completely different?

What if we just set our grandest intentions, shared them with each other, danced in the glory of each idea for as long as it entralls us, and allowed our inner Wisdom to dictate our daily action plans?

This year, I am setting just ONE resolution: To be present to the Divine Nudge that guides me in all that I can dream of achieving!

Happy New Year, friends!
Love,
Mindy

P.S. My intention for The What If Up Club? Certified Group Leaders around the world, bringing together small groups of people who want to amp up the energy in their life and feel the magic of being in the Flow! Massive outpourings of love expressed as service to each other, a reawakening to our connection with each other that inspires us to reach out and make a difference... Opportunities to spread the word and shine my light from the top of the highest hill! Abundance, joy, health, purpose, and passion... with plenty to share! Time to shine in 2009!

My intention is to Get To Zero Limits III

Love it Mindy!

I am "Aligning with the Divine in 2009." I too, steer away from resolutions, and focus on my heart's deepest desires. the helps me (and my clients) get to the essence of what Spirit has behind and beyond what a "goal" or resolution.

Here is what I published to Ezine Articles, feel free to reprint it:

Been watching too much news? Do you feel disconcerted when there is talk about the economy? Do you get depressed when thinking about your future? Do you work because you have to or because you love what you do?

Regardless of what is going on in the world around us we can turn within and utilize our inner wisdom and creativity. Spirit guides each one of us perfectly. We are empowered when instead of turning without to "advice" from scared people around us, we turn within to that peaceful presence, that lights our path.

Again, we are empowered and can co-create a divine destiny for ourselves. Divine ideas are the building blocks of a successful life. Did you set New Year's resolutions this year? Most people do... And within just a few weeks, most people "fail" at them as well! It is time to drop the resolutions, the ones that say, "I promise to
lose weight...
save money...
be nicer to others...
get organized...
get out of debt..."

One of the reasons we don't succeed at accomplishing our resolutions is because they become "have to's", no fun, no exciting energy around them and we let them fall by the wayside. Whether your resolutions are big or small, you can achieve them by shifting your perception. First of all, stop calling them resolutions and see them as dreams, intentions, as a general direction that you would like to head. Secondly, add some energy to them, through using a vision board, wish book, and themesongs, designed just for you!

The theme I am using this year is "Healthy, Happy, Wealthy, and Wise." It has a lot of energy around it and it truly moving me forward. Another way I support myself through the process of positive change is to use a coach and mentors to guide me along my way, it makes the whole process a lot more fun!

See your divine intentions as fulfilling your heart's deepest desires, tap into the feeling that you will have when you accomplish your goals. Know that the Universe is on your side, supporting you in getting them met!

Your dreams may be big ones that will change the world in positive ways or small and just support your own personal healthy lifestyle. Your intentions may inspire others to greatness or assist you in living a more simple life. The size of your intentions is not what matters, but the positive energy behind them does!

So, are you ready to fulfill your heart's desires? Are you ready to get started?

I've deemed 2009 the year to align with the Divine. Let's let Spirit guide us to new heights!

I have chosen the word "STRENGTH" as my focus in 2009 -- to get stronger physically, emotionally and financially. AND I have decided to let go of any extracurricular pursuits that don't move me along that path.

I can easily get sidetracked, so I think I will begin today to set a DAILY intention that is in line with my overall focus -- STRENGTH. Today my intention is to sort through my books and magazines (there are WAY too many of them spilling off my bookshelf and onto the floor by my bed) and I will only keep the ones I truly LOVE. It is amazing how many of them I want to let go of! AND...I have whittled a tall stack of magazines to only a few articles that I tore out to read. Yea! And those actions are bringing me such peace and are encouraging me to truly face the "other stacks" of stuff in my house with strength!

THANKS to the What If Up community for your support and positive thoughts!
