Hot day at the car wash |
Sooo... Out of the seven resolutions I had set for 2011 only one became reality (#2), and that really is terrible success rate. Therefore I need to find a way to follow through with what I really want to achieve. What is my goal? What makes me feel most alive, connected and successful? What do I want to experience?

I found this article on Selfgrowth.com that helps to stick with your resolutions by changing them into intentions. The article advices you to "imagine yourself having what you want. Use all your senses to create the imagery. What does it look like when you have it? What do you hear? How does it feel? Make the picture or impression as intense as you can. Add color, sound and movement until you get the feelings of already having it. With my amazing imagination (in good and in bad) I'm sure I can do this very easily. Now that you know what it feels like to have what you want, change your resolution to an intention."
