New Year's ResolutionThe Law of Attraction states that like-energies attract one another. This law can be utilized when fine-tuning intentions for the New Year.  Many believe that as a new year begins, they too should start new with resolutions and intentions for change.

As is often the case, these resolutions do not make it far into the New Year, but with these suggestions from Chicagohealers.com Practitioner Dr. Helen Lee offers for enhancing resolution success, that could all change.

Dr. Helen Lee Suggests:
 
1.      Positive Resolutions: Make your resolution/intention positive rather than negative. So instead of “Lose weight”, say something like become more nutritionally educated. That way you are thinking win versus lose and you become less discouraged.

2.      Picture It: Create a clear picture of how you would look living your intention. Try creating a vision board, which is a collection of actual pictures cut from magazines or clear visual in the mind. Be very colorful and detailed so that your goal is as visual as possible and so that you can see yourself living out your resolution or intention.

3.      Feel It: Know how you would feel if the intention were to come true. Think: When I accomplish my goal, I will feel happier because I will feel good.

4.      Ignite the Feeling: Ignite that feeling from suggestion 3 whenever you can but especially when you are doing or visualizing your intention. Feel that feeling at all times, but experience it more as you continue your resolution.

5.      Don’t Punish: Practice grace & unconditional love towards yourself. Do not feel bad when you stray a little. Just say that this time is okay, I still love myself, but this will be even truer when I achieve my goal.

6.      Reward: Reward & praise yourself with every movement/practice that supports your intention

7.      Be Grateful: Be grateful for your intention as if it were already manifested. This helps us stay out of “want–don’t have” energy and utilizes the energy of gratitude & trust–“it’s already in motion and on it’s way!”.

8.     Get Ready: Make sure to get balanced and adjusted for your intentions so that when they are accomplished, you will be ready.
