Question: Do you have any tips for manifesting New Year’s Resolutions?
Answer: Yes, I do! Do NOT just say it. Write it down! Make it real by dreaming about completing it and then WRITE it down on paper. My best advice is to write a story about what it’s going to be like once you have completed it. All this falls back to the book I highly recommend, Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn. If you haven’t read it, I would try to make that your resolution! And if you have and you need additional resources, please feel free to dig into Henriette Anne Klauser’s book Write It Down, Make it Happen.
These two books are exceptional at teaching you techniques on how to get clear on what you want and making it manifest in your life. A fun way to manifest your dreams is to write down the list and share it with a group of friends. Pass out copies of your lists to each other so you can monitor all of the group’s dreams as they come true! (I love getting friends involved in my rituals – it seems to #1: make me do it. #2: hold myself more accountable for it. #3: have more fun doing it.) Try it – what’s the harm?
Now, from a feng shui perspective, I would suggest enhancing the front left-hand part of the home or room called the Skills and Knowledge gua. This gua is related to the mountain trigram, which symbolizes the place to go within to reflect and learn. The element is earth, the color is blue, a great symbol is light…so feel free to take some time to enhance this gua with the intention of you gaining wisdom about your life’s path and what is best to give your energy to this year.
Next, accent the center front and front right-hand areas of the home (called the Career and Helpful People guas respectively) and you are on your way to placing yourself in the right place at the right time for what you are supposed to be doing in the coming year. Items that help hold good energies here are things made of metal. You can place that list you just wrote in the front right-hand area in a metal box to tie it all together with your resolutions.

I havent read those two books – will have to look out for them! I am loving your hints and tips on Feng Shui and the idea of sharing a new years resolution – writing it down sure helps to keep it “real” and make a dream a reality!

Hi!
I love this blog.
What about resolutions for skills you don’t yet have or aren’t very good at?
Like; someone wants to be really good at something they do (like a sport, hobby, job) but currently aren’t skilled at it? Can you feng shui to improve skills?
Thanks

Yes! That’s definitely a part of it! Build your energy resources for any skill in the “wisdom” or “skills and knowledge” area of your home or rooms.

I guess I also need to spice up the creativity area, too! — I need ways to bring in wanted skills, without just writing a big list and sticking it somewhere, ha ha ha.
Best wishes.
Thank you, I’ve been wondering about this for a long time!

So, if I want to be better at video games and soccer, putting posters and things about soccer and video games in the skills area will help?

Yes, but be sure to do it with CLEAR INTENTIONS of EXACTLY what you want by visualizing it as if it is already true for you.
That’s maximum power!
