In Part 1 I suggested 5 Break-Free Tips to clear your way to make the coming year your “best year ever”.

Next comes the exciting part – planting the seeds of intention to ensure you focus in on your ROLES and GOALS for the year ahead and then choose what I call your GOLDEN GOAL as the main focus for the next 12 to 18 months.   To do this I have adapted the following 10 Questions which I originally learned from Jenny Ditzler in her fabulous book YOUR BEST YEAR YET.

You require uninterrupted time – say an afternoon to review your past year and plan the top focus for the coming year.
The process asks you to look back over your past year and then begin to think about the coming year by asking yourself these ten questions:

1. What did I accomplish? (CELEBRATE! I did a collage of my accomplishments in 2010 and it was great for inspiration).
2. What were my biggest disappointments?
3. What did I learn?
4. How do I limit myself, and how can I stop?
5. What are my personal values?
6. What roles do I play in my life?
7. Which role is my major focus for the next year?
8. What are my goals for each role?
9. What are my top ten goals for the next year?
10. How can I make sure I achieve them?

Applying this system at the end of each year, I have achieved many of my BIG DREAMS in what seems like a short period of time – but is actually one GOLDEN GOAL per year. Try it and see! My most recent goal has been weight loss – and by focusing on it with fierce intent and passion I have lost 50 lbs (22,4kg) and still dropping towards my ultimate best healthy weight on a program that is changing my life radically.

Let me know if YOU have a fail-safe year-end ritual that helps set your compass to make the UPCOMING year a WINNER for YOU!

Want to make this coming year your best year ever?

Let me share the special “ritual” that I do at the start of every year that applies the key tools I use in my healing and coaching work as a Break Free Fast coach using EFT-Matrix Reimprinting.

There are two parts to this:

i) Releasing and letting go  - with 5 Break-Free Tips I will share below.

ii) Goal setting with the Law of Attraction using words and pictures, based on your main ROLES AND VALUES (see 10 Questions in Part 2)

Think of your life as a garden.  For various reasons it sometimes gets overgrown and you feel like weeds are choking your dreams.  That’s when you feel stuck, and beat yourself up by saying things like: “I’ll never get it right – lose this weight, make good money, find true love…”

Addictions, anxiety, fears and depression often set in when you get to this point of feeling helpless and hopeless.

But I have good news – once you make a start in one area of your “life garden” and do some clearing, even on one issue, the feel-good energy will start to flow again and everything will look up.

Here’s how:

5 Ways to Break-free and Open the flow…By LETTING GO

1. Break free in your RELATIONSHIP TO EATING. Instead of embarking on yet another diet, simply decide to eat mostly foods that give real energy and love. Follow Michael Pollan’s advice in his book Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual: “Eat real food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

Say NO to 80% of foods/drinks available in your supermarket – including those laden with sugar and bad fats. Drink loads of water and watch out for eating for reasons other than true hunger.(When it comes to issues like emotional eating and over-eating – I can offer a break-free fast session with EFT-Matrix Reimprinting to get to the source of this pattern which usually goes back to early childhood).

2. Break Free in RELATIONSHIP TO YOUR SELF.  Say goodbye to habits that don’t support self-care, self-value and self-worth. GIVE UP THE BLAME GAME. Stop blaming yourself – and others. Take back your power and decide to be your own best friend, coach and champion.

3. Break Free in RELATIONSHIP TO OTHERS. You define your own life…don’t let others write your script. ASK: “Do the people in my life give me energy and encourage my personal growth?”  Or do others put you down and cramp your style with guilt trips and criticism? If they don’t support you– say goodbye.

(Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power. This is something my clients quickly discover when they have a “break-free aha” that sets them free in a healing consultation in person or via phone or Skype).

4. Break Free in RELATIONSHIP TO WORK. Is your work invigorating, inspiring, collaborative, empowering to others? Does it fulfil you and bring you the financial rewards that make you feel good? Let passion drive your profession. Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every pay check will be a bonus

5. Break Free in RELATIONSHIP TO NATURE AND PLAY. See these as opportunities to fill your life with truth and play. When you don’t know what to do, get still. The answer will come. And getting still by walking or going into a garden or nature will support you more.

IN PART 2 WE WILL LOOK AT  ROLES AND SETTING GOALS FOR the coming year.
