20 wishes as we enter 2020

20 wishes as we enter 2020

1.  Persistent Peace – A Course in Miracles says that the biggest obstacle to holding our peace is our own willingness to give it away.  I hope you hold tightly to peace this year.  It is your birthright.
2. Practice the Pause – There is a difference between responding and reacting, the difference is the ability to pause.  This year, I hope you pause before responding to anything – good or bad.
3. Create with purpose – that is what you are here to do.  Create, co-create, join forces, make beauty in this world.  You are creating in every moment.  Be mindful of what you are creating.  Wherever you heart leads you, I hope you follow and use your unique skills and talents to create something wonderful!
4. Practice Radical Self Love – You were created by a higher force to be here now and you are here with a purpose.  The you that is exactly as you are now, not a different version – not one that has never been hurt, not a thinner, richer, smarter version – you now.  Love who you are in this moment knowing you did not create yourself.  You were created by a loving, kind force who adores you!
5. Be present – In this day and age, this is getting harder and harder to do. Be where you are now.
6. Manage your thoughts – You own your mind, not the other way around.  When you get stuck in a negative cycle of thinking, use a phrase to break the cycle.  My favorite, “I could have peace instead of this”. 
7. Be generous – We all know what we have been through and how we behaved at some of our roughest moments.  As we see others behave “badly”, be generous and assume the best.  Bless them and wish them peace.
8. Persevere – It seems like life has all kinds of ups and downs and twists and turns, but they are all there for your best growth.  Keep your head high and keep moving forward.
9. Play – Life is actually not that serious.  It is about joy and following your joy.  The more playful, carefree, and fun-loving you are, the closer you are to enlightenment.  I hope you have a year of childlike fun and playfulness!
10. Step into the Flow – Life is a current of energy that is always moving forward, creating and getting bigger.  To be part of that, say yes, open up to possibility and lean forward.  Step into the flow with full faith and trust that you will be taken where you need to go.
11. Leave it all behind – the past is over and as a student of A Course in Miracles, did not even exist the way you remember it.  Let it all go.  The past hurts, the drama, the trauma and the stories.  I hope you leave them in your past so you can move forward.
12. Attempt to Give more than you Get – The power of generosity is amazing.  The more you are able to show up and give of your gifts, the more amazing things happen for you.  I hope you get an opportunity daily to be more generous than you thought possible.  Whether it is financially, or with your thoughts, your time, or your forgiveness.
13. Forgive and Forget – Forgiveness is the ultimate healing balm.  Whatever happened, whatever they did, forgive them for they did not know what they do.  And, to the degree possible, let go of any story you have around it (forget).  The only story you need is one in which you are created from Star Dust and able to do anything you want!
14. Go further than you thought possible – I hope this year, you push yourself.  I hope you are more you and that you shoot past all your limiting thoughts and beliefs and create with the Heavens!
15. Have Courage to Change – Changing and being a better version of yourself is hard.  We have beliefs that rocking the boat will cost us dearly, especially those that we love. But those that really love us, will love us as we grow.  I hope this year you have the courage to take bold actions that are aligned to your true heart’s desires.
16. Be Kind to yourself–Forgive yourself for anything you did or did not do.  Be kind to your body by feeding it nutritious foods.  Know you are always doing the best you can.  My wish for you is to practice the greatest kindness this year, towards yourself.
17. Show Up, even when you don’t want to – This has been one of my secret’s to life that I wish for you.  When you say you are doing to do something, show up 100% and do it.  Whether you have a headache or don’t feel well, or wish life was different.  Wherever you are, be there, and be there 100%.  Be the life of the party.  Be the host.  Be the one who looks like they are having the best time, whether this is where you wanted to be, or whether you wish you were anywhere else!
18. Take time to remember those that helped you along the way – None of us do this alone.  This year, I hope you take time to send notes of love and gratitude to those on your path who have loved you, stood by you, and helped you be who you are (including hurt you so that you could grow).
19. Give the Fairy Tale a chance – By now, we know that a lot happens after happily ever after, but my wish for you is to still dream and allow for the miraculous moments.  Fairy tales and miracles happen every moment all around us.  Open up to receive and give the fairy tale a chance to come true for you!
20. Let Joy by your North Star – when making decisions, I hope you close your eyes and see which one makes you happier and brings you more joy.
