Making 2013 the year of living fabulously does not require jumping through hoops. Personally I hate jumping through hoops, walking on eggshells, or any other kind of extreme, anxiety-producing acrobats. Making this year phenomenal is about setting simple goals (no more than 3 please) and doing something each day to make it happen.
So here are a few steps, plus an example of what I did to set myself up to have a fearless and fabulous year.
How to Create a Fearless and Fabulous Year
Step 1 – remember, write, give thanks for 2012’s accomplishments, breakthroughs, and successes
Step 2 – think about, write down, give thanks for what you will try, achieve, and succeed in 2013
Step 3 – get a guide or partner to cheer you on through each goal
Step 4 – do it and document each accomplishment, success, and breakthrough
Example from the Pages of my Journal:
Step 1 – I am thankful for writing my book, No More Crumbs. It was a combination success and breakthrough for me. I’m thankful I’ve lived my goal for the year which was love and liberation. I learned what it means to truly love and live in freedom. I’m in the process of reconciling past relationships even though the process was painful.
Step 2 – I’m thankful for the wonderful cruise, cross country trip, and world travel my kids and I will take. I’m thankful for all the people I will help in my coaching programs. I’m thankful for the classes I will teach to help people succeed. I’m thankful for completing my certification course. I’m thankful the love of my life will manifest.
Step 3 – My guide is willing and available to me. I will get a coach to cheer me on and check in twice a month. I will start or join a mastermind group to keep me accountable.
Step 4 – I will do it and document it on my blog and in my journal.
