Hello and Happy 2015!
I hope that you are full of HOPE for an amazing year to come! Did you do my annual New Year's ritual to 
clear out old baggage from 2014 and make room for more in 2015?? If not, check out last week's newsletter to do so – you will feel FREE and READY!
Now, start your year off right, I must tell you… Your New Year's resolution will likely fail. I know you usually look to me to be positive and optimistic, but I also always tell you the truth. So, chances are, if your New Year's resolution has not already failed, it probably will. (Good news – a more successful way is below.)
About 90% of all New Year's resolutions fail because they are empty. Most are formed from frustration and are completely disconnected from the truth of your life. So, they barely get off the ground.
For instance, perhaps you've resolved to get a new job because your work drains you and you hate your boss! However, you have no idea what kind of work would actually light you up, or any idea how to figure that out, so in 2015, you may get another job, but it probably won't make you happier long-term.
You have to become grounded in your truth first, then you can blossom.
Years ago, I went from job to job thinking that a bigger title, a different boss, or a different industry would make me happier. With each new job, I was happy for a few months, then I felt empty again. I became hopeless.
Looking back, of course those jobs felt empty…Different company, same cubicle! Rather, I had to learn what would light me up, bring me joy, and make me feel fulfilled. I had to know the truth of who I am in order to get on the right path.
You have to become grounded in your truth first, then you can blossom.
What I mean by “truth” is who you are at your core: your unique gifts, your brilliance, your wisdom, your purpose. You need to become crystal clear about what you want, understand your core motivation, and then create goals that are inspiring and empowering.
So forget “New Year's Resolutions” this year, and instead, resolve that 2015 will be the year that are TRUE TO YOU.
Resolve that this year, you will listen to the nagging voice within. This year, you will find out what you're passionate about. This year, you will be fulfilled!
On January 29th, I will be launching a new 4-week online course to help you get crystal clear about the true you, create an exit strategy out of that draining job, get past patterns and excuses that have held you back, and empower you to take action forward. The class will fill, so if you want to be the first to learn about it, and get an early bird discount, email me now!
In the meantime, to get 2015 on the RIGHT track, resolve to be true to you. Use this exercise to create grounded resolutions:
**What do you want to FEEL in 2015?
**Who do you need to BE in 2015 to feel this? (How do you need to show up)?
**What do you have to DO to be this?
**Ultimately, what do you want to have?
Begin your year with these beautiful grounding questions. Then, you can blossom!
Here's to you, my dear love, and a fabulous 2015!
xoxo,
Carin
