Way back in the first week of January (it seems so long ago!), I created a list called transforming “I wish” into “I will” where I talked about taking all my hopes for 2013 and turning them in to things I could actually achieve! Or, as I like to call it, doing my dreams! Makes sense right?
I will use the strength I grew into from 2012 wisely + often — uh yeah, still growing peeps! More meditating, mindfulness, and DOING instead of just dreaming!
I will finish at least one book + get published {there are SO many!} — Really proud of the progress on this one! I’m almost 75% done with my first book with a submission date of October 28! Yahoo!
I will spend more time with family near + far — Trying my best! Glad I got to see my extended clan for Easter and a cousin is graduating in June so more Wisconsin trips! Love me some WI!
I will land more than a dozen awesome voiceover jobs — Tally for 2013: 1. Staying positive and affirming more voiceovers are headed my way…now! 🙂
I will travel + revel in all the beauty of this world + savor the creativity that travel brings me — Ahh! I have been able to travel to Tennessee, Mexico, Wisconsin, Colorado, and South Dakota so far this year! I am a professional travel manifester! Can’t wait to see where the next six months take me! Thank you, thank you!
I will paint, draw + doodle more — Doodling…check. Drawing…hmm…does doodling count? Painting…well I bought some supplies back in February, this is a reminder to get them out and use them!
I will meditate (even for just a minute) every day — I would say yes. But, I have been known to be a little unconventional, so sometimes my meditating is just simply admiring the beauty in a flower, a tree, or the shimmering fur (yeah, really!) of my best puggle buddy, Frankie.
I will do something to move my body every day — Check! If I can’t get for a run or brisk walk, I still get in a few lunges here and there, a downward dog or two, pushups until my arms are jello, I’m doin’ it!
I will do more random acts of kindness/beauty/happiness — Trying to think of great examples for this one. I think I need to get rid of the box and just start doing little things for people who need it. Anyone have some great thoughts on this?
I will spend less time *mindlessly* surfing the Internet — Oh the Internet is my vice! I love to connect with people, but sometimes a quick connection can turn into an hour of surfing! Scheduling breaks is a good thing. More movement, less staring!
I will cook more creative and healthfully — Half yes? I need to get out of my omelet and toast rut! I should inspire myself by coming up with more Recharge Recipe posts!
I will give more + want less. . .helping others opens my heart — I’ve adopted the new mantra of “I am of service” and use it as a reminder each day to give openly in all ways. Service to others, self, and source!
I will stay grounded in gratitude for the present even as I look forward to the future — Letting go of the past is something everyone works on, and I am in the process of letting certain old childhood hurts go. I remind myself to give thanks for them, bless the experience, forgive the people involved, and stay in the present. It takes practice!
I will work with awesome clients who need help with writing, blogging, editing, consulting — Making progress, I am still looking for more clients to work with and write for! Know anyone? But I am excited that I am nearly certified to become a Certified Angel Card Reader early next month! Get ready to play telephone with Heaven!
I will put the phone down when I am spending quality time with people — Getting better at this! Stop being so fun, Facebook 😉
I will listen more to my inner voice, knowing and intuition — your inner voice, along with mine, will always be there to gently nudge us in the right direction. . .keep the signs clear, my heart open, and my consciousness elevated!
I will listen more to the needs + concerns of others — I can always work on this. Life isn’t just about me. I want to be there, genuinely, for those who need it. Who needs a hug!?
I will open an Etsy shop — in progress, friends! Turquoise Heart and Spiritual Warrior t-shirts comin’ your way! Oooh they are going to be so cute!
I will say “YES” more — why, YES!
I will be in bloom in every aspect of my life — Heyo! Doin’ it!
Thanks for the reminder to revisit my 2013 intentions, Blair! And, I need to add some of yours to my list… more random acts of kindness, less time on the internet, put the phone down!
Excited to hear more about your book! Happy writing, dear 🙂
Love it! Yeah, those are the ones I always seem to be “working” on 🙂 Ahh…life! Thanks Erin! Have a great weekend – happy biking!
