The end of the year is just a few weeks away!
A great time to take stock and decide what you want to create in 2009. To achieve "extraordinary" things, professional or personal, it is essential to specify what you want to create in order to take effective action.
To find out what you want, here is a very powerful exercise, the life review that I presented in my book May the Force of Attraction Be With You. This tool allows you to take stock of what you are currently experiencing and to decide, based on this assessment, what you want to create. This exercise will ensure clarity, control, and gratitude for all that you already have in your life.
A Life Review
Here are the instructions to complete this review.
Make a table with three columns (or use the one shown opposite). The first for the sectors to be evaluated, such as work, financial situation, family, love life, and personal life. The second, for what you are currently experiencing, and the third, dedicated to what you want to experience in the coming year.
The "What I Experience" Column
For each sector, note what you are currently experiencing. Distinguish between what is satisfactory and what is unsatisfactory. You are trying to take stock, to know where you are. This reflection will help you clarify what you want to keep, improve, or eliminate in each sector.
The "What I Want" Column
Now is the time to get excited! Make a list of what you want, what you desire, what you dream of for each area of your life. Let yourself go, allow yourself to dream!
Thinking about what satisfies you, note what you want to keep, increase, or improve in your life. Thinking about what is unsatisfactory, determine what you want to replace what you are currently experiencing.
Then, allow yourself to write down what you want to create in the different areas of your life, even if, for the moment, it doesn't look anything like your reality. Give yourself the right to dream in color. Often, we don't dare to ask or dream because we are afraid of being disappointed. Yet, if you don't ask, you won't receive. It's as simple as that. Remember, thought creates. Before creating, you must think about it.
Then, I suggest you make a collage to illustrate what you want to experience in 2009. During the exercise, feel the pleasure associated with the idea of realizing your dreams. Because, beyond thought, it is emotion that attracts to us what we desire in life.
To conclude, review each sector and identify actions to take in the coming days, however small they may be. Take them!
I wish you all a wonderful reflection and a 2009 that lives up to your dreams.
