I am returning to some simple practices I was taught when I began my Spiritual Journey so I’ve collated some tried and true strategies and I’d like to share them with you to kick start the new year.

So, let’s leave behind The Law of Attraction and return to the power of our Divine Self. Let us Become!

7 POWERFUL GOAL SETTING EXERCISES GUARANTEED TO MAKE 2022 YOUR BEST YEAR EVER

1. Get Clear. A simple method to focus and refine your future Self and goals. Write a list of things you know you can, want or dream of becoming. Your list is part of your subjective mind and a daily practice of focus and refinement prompts your objective mind to recognise and act on opportunities. Let those emotions flow, write as broadly or as detailed as you please. Read your list every morning and every evening. Do not show anyone your list. Let your list evolve as time passes and your goals are reached.**

2. The Future Life Walk Through. Use a guided visualisation meditation that connects you to your Higher Heart Self. Once here you can ask to be walked through the year where you will connect to your goals. Before your journey there are a few things to prepare, visit: https://www.vickihaspels.com/blog for details.

3. Find a Coach or Mentor. If you are tired of constantly failing or if you have tried all the self help versions and don’t know where else to turn, investing in a coach or mentor is priceless.

4. Have a Decision to Make? Take a few deep breaths and place your head in your heart with your question. Your body will let you know yes or no by relaxing or tensing. Your body is your intuition, not your mind.

5. Find an Accountability Friend. It is important to be honest with yourself about what is achievable. Complete a stocktake of your resources and ask a friend to help, one that is not afraid to tell you the truth and don’t forget to return the favour. All friends together!

6. Empty The Trash. Our mind can be the most amazing cheerleader and the most devastating critic. Write three pages of rambling thoughts every morning before you even contemplate beginning your day. Do this every day without fail. Put them in an envelope or keep them in a journal. Do not revisit them. The results are amazing!**

7. Letting Go. Sometimes recognising when plans are not working and letting them go is just as powerful as pushing through. Make regular checkpoints to assess progress and commitment. Is there a change of direction needed? Has this goal run its course? What if your ‘failed’ plan was the step? Understanding our attachment to any outcome can assist in determining whether your plan is ready to be abandoned or adjusted. Self awareness rules here.

Now, go forth and make 2022 your best year ever!
