How to make 2016 the best year ever (Yes I mean 2016!)

Would you like to be able to look back on 2016 and witness yourself with love, admiration and awe?  Today you have the opportunity to create just that for yourself.  Ready to feel proud of yourself Mama?

The way we see ourselves as we look back can determine how we feel about ourselves moving forward into the future.  The way to make 2016 the best year ever is to laser focus your mind and imagination on all that went well, all you accomplished, all you mastered, all you became. . .

No matter what kind of year you have had, if you follow this ritual, you will be able to see just what a powerful year you have had.  This is really important for you new mama!

What you will need:

  1. Paper
  2. Your favorite pen
  3. Your favorite scent (perfume, essential oils, body spray)
  4. At least 15 quiet minutes (I know this part is hard but I know you can make time when this is so important!)

Directions:

1. Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed.  Take a few deep breaths and slowly breath them out.  Feel your body connected to the earth.  Feel your breath moving gently in and out.  Find ourself grounded in this moment.

2.  Close your eyes and think back to January 1, 2016.  Wait until you have a visual image of yourself a year ago.  Begin to track what you were doing and what you were learning at that time.  Realize how much you have changed.

3. In your mind’s eye, go back and re-discover everything you are proud of month by month. Visit February, March, April and so on. . . .

4. What did you accomplish?  Who did you become? How did you live up to your values? How did you change? What are you most proud of?  Notice accomplishments both large and small.  Every single thing you see that brings you pride and joy let them wash over you.

5. Do not allow yourself to dwell on parts you are ashamed or guilty about.  Simply re-direct your minds eye to the amazingness of your existence in 2016.

6. When you’re ready, open your eyes and write down every single thing you saw.  Keep going until you have recorded everything you are proud of.

7. When you are finished, read through your list and feel your heart swell with awe and gratitude and a deep sense of worthiness.

8. Seal your list with spritzing your favorite scent on the paper. Let the scent and the sight of that paper remind you of all that you transformed in 2016.

You are an incredible woman and there are not enough words to describe the strong, loving, generous, powerful, learning woman and mother you are becoming. Be proud of yourself, you deserve it.
