Only two more days to our detox left, and if you’re wondering what 2011 has in store, you need to take charge and decide for yourself on what you want it to be for you.  That means you need to put some thought into it and then write it down (today, preferably).

It seems more things come true for us when we write it down.  I don’t know why that is.  Maybe the universe takes us more seriously once we’ve written it down.  Who knows?  I don’t question it.  I’ve just heard too many stories, including some of my own, where a person wrote an amount of a check for himself or herself or a date on a calendar of when something will happen and by some crazy coincidence, it manifests itself into reality.  Even if you don’t believe that this is literally true, write your life plan down anyway.  If nothing else, it will allow you to think and visualize what you want.  By writing out your goals, ideas and intentions you will be more focused.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself to help you get started.  There’s no need to answer every question, just select what speaks to you and your wants. Write the answers down and be specific!

Try beginning your sentence with: “In 2011 in I will…”

1.      What will I do to improve my health?

2.      How can I incorporate physical activity/fitness into my daily or weekly schedule?  And, what activity will I be doing?

3.      Where will I decide to volunteer my time in order to give back?  How many hours a day/week/month can I allow myself to do this?

4.      What will I do to improve the relationship with my children/partner/coworker/neighbor/family? How many hours a day/week/month will I dedicate to doing this?  What activities can we do together?

5.      What will I do to reconnect with myself? What time of day/week/month will I dedicate to doing this?

6.      What will I do each day/week to help sustain our environment?

7.      What will I do to change my financial situation for the better?  How much can I put aside each day/week/month to pay off credit card debt and put towards savings?

8.      What will I do to be more organized and what does organized look like to me?

9.      What will I do to bring more positivity into my life?

10.  What ways can I become more grateful in my life?

Hopefully if you are in the resolution mood, the above practice will help you with your resolve. If not, check out any of our previous 29 posts for some ideas.
