I don’t make New Year’s resolutions. Goals are also not really my thing either as often we give up half way through and then feel a failure. Instead, at the beginning of each New Year and regularly throughout the year, I add to my OUTRAGEOUS POSSIBILITIES list. To write this I sit quietly in a place that I love and feel comfortable in, listen to myself breathe, focus on my heart and ask out loud, “What outrageous possibilities are open to me this year?”
Instead of listening to my mind, I listen to whatever comes into my awareness. Sometimes very tangible things arrive. Sometimes, very random things arrive. Sometimes little things pop in. Other times seemingly impossible things come. I judge nothing, but write everything. Sometimes it is an activity, event or situation that I write down. Other times it is people, known or unknown who I might meet. It may also be a quality or value that I will focus on throughout the year.
These OUTRAGEOUS POSSIBILITIES become my focus for the year, not as a tick off box, but more as an observation post. It is not about focussing on the “goal”, the prize or the outcome, it is about simply noticing what is attracted into my life. It is not about judging it as good, bad, right, wrong or something else. It is about knowing that when I come from this heart and soul space, rather than a goal-orientated mind/head space….that I feel nourished at a soul level, that I feel at peace no matter whether a “goal” has been accomplished or not, and feel reassured that life is perfect just as it is in what it is providing me and what I am offering life itself.[polldaddy poll=7683275]
