Happy New Year 2021
"Here are my intentions!"

Hello Self!
If your reading this, you have made it through the year 2020. Give yourself a big high five! Not an easy thing to do, you faced many challenges and managed to remain spiritually intact and emotionally whole. So let's be gentle as you set your intentions for the year 2021.
I am surprised you want to set any type of a "New Years Resolution" you haven't done so in many years. But I definitely can understand why you want to thoroughly say good-bye to 2020, taking nothing negative, de-humanizing, or fear based, formed from half-truths, with you, as you enter the "New Year, 2021".
Think about your intentions for 2021, let's set them with your goal in mind; to leave 2020 in the past. Please. get comfortable. and when you are ready, close your eyes...
Now take three deep breaths, and slowly release each breath, as you release each breath all tension leaves your body, a warm welcoming heaviness comes over you. Are you surprised at how clear your mind is in comparison to your body ? Your body now wants nothing more than to sink into oblivion! Are you aware that your breath is now unlabored and has taken on a rhythm of its own? Good, I knew you would be!
Keeping your eyes closed, in your minds eye envision a large chest, the chest is open, it's lid is up, next to the chest lay a lock and a key. In addition to the chest is a back pack, written on the back pack is "Mine to Keep". Now think about your experiences in 2020. Surprised to find not all was negative? Good for you! Now gather all heartfelt lessons learned and place them in the back pack, your taking these with you. Now your going to add your new appreciation of family and relationships that you once took for granted. Go ahead place them in your back pack. Now add acceptance, acceptance of those things you have no control of, place all in your back pack, anything else positive you received in 2020 place it all in the bag. Now zip it shut! So how do you feel now? Good? Ok, let that feeling emulate through your body. Become one with your breath, as if it's rhythm is a soft melody.
Now keep your eyes closed and think about all those experiences that were not comfortable in 2020. Envision each as you revisit any experience that left you feeling unsteady, insecure or without your own power. Let the emotions they present with flow freely...
That's right, your ok, I am with you...
Now inhale deeply and reach out and take hold of one experience. As you exhale release any emotional debris from that experience that may still be effecting you and place the experience in the chest. Be sure to close the lid. Take another deep breath and repeat this for each experience, closing the lid after each is placed in the chest. Notice that each time you place an experience in the chest your sense of peace and feeling of freedom is heightened. Wonderful isn't it?
Good job me! Now that you have placed the last experience in the chest, reach for the key and place it too in the chest. Now close that lid for the last time. Flip the top latch down and reach for the lock. Place the lock through the latch. Take one more deep breath and after you release your breath say your good-bye!
"Goodbye negative experiences, you no longer have any affect on me, and just like 2020, your time is over!" Now close the lock, the sound it makes as it engages fills you with satisfaction and instils a feeling of completion! Way to go me!
Now reach for the back pack, you can put it on or just carry it with you. Surprised at how light it is? I know you are! That's because you are taking nothing heavy with you in 2021! Now turn and begin to walk away, no! Do not look back! Look to the horizon, do you see the door? I knew you would! Notice the welcoming, glowing, bright light, illuminating from and around the door. Beautiful isn't it?
As you walk towards the door think of the intentions your going to set for 2021. Remember you are the creator of your own experience! How will you be accountable? Prepare to set your intentions, remember to be gentle...
Now set your first intention...
I set the intention of obtaining better health in 2021
I will make my health a priority in 2021, addressing all issues I put off in 2020
I will call my doctor and schedule my appointments this coming week
I will create a monthly calendar and record all dates and times of my appointments, and I will add an alarm that will notify me two days prior to each appointment
I will make sure all transportation is secured
I will attend each doctor appointment as scheduled and follow all recommendation of my doctor
I will take all my medications as prescribed
I will be good to myself by not overloading myself with extended obligations
I will get eight hours of sleep nightly and drink more water
I will rest when my body tells me to
When I feel stress I will walk away from the situation and take a break
I will remember I don't have to save the world, nor am I able too!
I will hold myself accountable by creating an "Accountability Jar"
I will inform my daughter and my closest friend, who have agreed to be my accountability team, of the dates of my appointments and give them the authority to keep me on track at the capacity they seem fit
I will inform my accountability team of any future or follow up appointments as scheduled
I will provide my accountability team with documentation showing I attended my appointment and the results and instructions I am to follow from each appointment
I will give my accountability team the authority to monitor my medication
If I avoid an appointment or miss my medication I commit to adding $20.00 to the "accountability jar" per infraction
I will reward myself and the members of my accountability team
With a get together or a night out when all doctors appointments have been attended and all follow -up and referral objectives have been met
Now place your intention securely in your back pack, zip it closed and continue walking. As you look to the horizon, you see the door, it is so beautiful! It takes you aback, doesn't it? The door appears to be closer and you see light now pouring out from inside and you realize the door is slowly opening!
Now set your second intention...
I set the intention of heightening my spiritual awareness and obtaining a closer relationship with my higher power in 2021
I will continue to fully engage in my Akashic Records Soul Realignment courses to gain a better understanding of my souls Devine Purpose and in so doing gain a better understanding of those I love
I will give permission for my accountability team to check in with my instructor of the Akashic Records courses and confirm I am in full participation
I will take at least 20 min out of my day, no less than three times a week to meditate and reflect on what is being revealed to me
I will journal daily and revisit the journal monthly to see if I recognize any patterns of behavior or circumstance
I will release my old belief systems that keep me in restraints and no longer work for me in todays reality
I will keep a record of the beliefs I have released and the new belief I am replacing it with
I will explore any additional media that resonates with me in my pursuit of a higher understanding
I will keep an open mind and think outside the box
I will not dwell on negative issues that are out of my control. I will only accept what resonates for me in a positive light and I will integrate what I learn in my daily behaviors
I will practice being a light in the darkness in a manner that will help others who are seeking to accept change, and gain a higher understanding
I will hold myself accountable by...
Keeping a record of the dates of meditation and have one of my accountability team members confirm by initialing the dates I meditated
I will process my thoughts and review what resonates with me with my accountability team, who will initial my calendar to confirm each meeting, no less than once a week
I will give my accountability team the authority to address me if my behaviors do not reflect my intentions
If I fail to comply with any objective in my intention plan I will pay the "Accountability Jar" no less than $5.00 and no more than $20.00 as agreed with my accountability team per missed objective
I will reward myself
Every two weeks with a body massage
Now place the intention securely in your back pack and zip it closed and look to the horizon. At once you are at awe of the splendor of the light that is blazing from the door and you notice each beam seems to engage with the other and multiply. And the door, yes! It is opening. It's open further than before, the light coming from within fills the path you are on and seems to call to you. With anticipation ..
You set your third intention...
I set my intention that in 2021 I will stop procrastinating and complete the illustration of my children's book I have been working on
I will dedicate three evenings a week to the illustrations
I will be less judgmental of my work and remember I am not looking for perfection
I will complete the design and format of the book
I will publish the book in both hardcopy and digital no later than the end of May 2021
I will market the book on Amazon Kindle and other digital reader apps
I will donate a number of books to local shelters for families and local daycare centers with an option to purchase additional copies
I will continue working on book two only after book one is completed and in circulation
I will hold myself accountable by
Creating a monthly calendar outlining the dates of the objectives for all three of my intentions
Meet with my accountability team to review my progress and confirm I am meeting all objectives once a week
One member of my accountability team will confirm that they witnessed me keep to my plan of action by signing and dating my calendar
At the end of each month I will review my calendar and for each objective I failed to meet I will add $20.00 to the "Accountability Jar"
I will reward myself and my accountability team
With a day at the spa!
Now we agreed to be gentle and I think three intentions are adequate! Don't go there! No we are sticking to our agreement so place this last intention securely in your back pack and zip it shut! There now, Good job!
Now, in your minds eye look to the horizon, how awesome is that? That's right, your almost there. Continue walking towards the light of the open door, feel the hope and promise of 2021 as it's bright light welcomes you with each step you take.
As you reach the entryway, notice the light has become etherical in color and now you are no longer fully ingulfed by the glorious light, you are wrapped in a comforting reassuring soft light that instills in you a sense of calm, wellbeing, safety, and familiarity. From the entryway you can see the illumination of the beautiful light that drew you here. Now, go ahead and step through the threshold and into the "New Year, 2021" all that is familiar awaits you! Now inhale deeply and release your breath and step through the doorway! Say hello to 2021!

Hello... ah hello me, you may now slowly open your eyes. You did an awesome job! Another high five to us! Now that your intentions are set get busy and make that accountability jar, create that calendar and give your team a heads up! Oh and by the way, that accountability jar? At the end of 2021 that jar and it's contents are to go to your accountability team! You and I both know they will have earned it! Good, I'm glad we agree! And now, I wish me a blessed and happy new year!! Hello 2021! I am here and I am ready when you are!
