Ditch the New Year’s Resolutions – Try THIS Instead!

55 Comments

Let me make a New Year’s prediction…

People everywhere will make resolutions to lose weight and make money. They’ll write lists of things to do and places to go. But before the year’s up, they’ll forget or give up on at least half of them. New Year’s resolutions are a tradition that might not actually serve us very well.

So what if I suggested that you throw out your New Year’s resolutions and try something else?

Don’t get me wrong. I want you to do great things this year.

But I know you can accomplish them better by getting in touch with your true, authentic self first. Then your life will naturally manifest in harmony with the amazing person you already are!

Watch the video to see what I mean. And learn a technique that will help you get in touch with 14 energetic pathways in your body to activate the truth and power already inside you.

Ditch the New Year’s resolutions. And get ready to create your best year ever!

Instead of resolutions for the New Year, I hope you try affirmations. Change your year from the inside out!

If you need a reminder or some inspiration, come back to the affirmations I shared in the video.

Here some affirmations to help you create a great year:

  • I am loving myself exactly where I am.
  • I am grateful for all the lessons I learned last year. They are making a difference this year.
  • I am living my truth, and in that truth, I contribute to the whole.

What, specifically, do you want to focus on in this year? Write your own New Year’s affirmation! I’d love you to share it in a comment.

I want you to understand your nature better so you can offer your best self to your family and community. Make this year a truly pivotal one for you by discovering your Energy Profile. Get a copy of It’s Just My Nature and three other great resources to help you out in my Energy Profiling Bundle.

Let’s create an energy of hope and understanding in the world this year!

    I am a rich dynamic woman and this is the year I am living my truth out loud!

  • http://TrueTrish.blogspot.com Trish

    Wow, I did this exercise with you and my body feels so different now…I’m in a different vibration than before for sure! I first want to say that DYT has definitely been a huge life makeover for me in such a wonderful way and finding myself after having lost myself for so long has been the best gift I could give myself! I just wish I could give it to every woman, and that all my friends could feel as secure and loved in their own skin as I do.

    Okay, now for the affirmation….
    I am experiencing support and love coming from others as I live true to my self.

    • Sylvia

      Wonderful affirmation!

    • Shawna

      This is a wonderful entry, Trish! I’m in total agreement.

      Thank you, Carol!

  • http://www.realsouthernliving.com Stacey@RealSouthernLiving.com

    I am experiencing ease, comfort, love and support with relationships with friends and family as I live my truth.

    As I am true to my nature wonderful things will manifest and I will be guided to situations that can help others recognize their true potential.

    Life is wonderful and I am living my full potential in all things.

    I love and forgive myself for my mistakes and forgive those around me for their mistakes as well. I am choosing to not be offended when others say things that might hurt my feelings.

    This is a great blogpost! For the past few years I have chosen a one-word-theme for each new year. Now that I know I’m a type 1 my word for 2012 is “Lebensfreude”, the German equivalent to joie de vivre.

    So, my affirmation is simple: I am joyful!

  • Kaylee Ririe

    At the beginning of Dec, my mom bought the CD “clearing the Issues that are Keeping You Fat”. Carol goes through a few very powerful exercises in this CD. I took those scripts and plugged in multiple core beliefs I intend to shift into truth. I’ve been listening to the CD’s I made at least at night while I sleep and as much through out the day as is reasonable. What a shift has occurred in my energy habits! I feel like I’m approaching life from an entirely new, confident place. The most powerful, liberating affirmation in this exercise is:
    + I am safe loving, accepting, and valuing myself in my authentic expression

    Thank you for the tools you have offered so many. You have shown me how to change my life.

    I am loving the abundant adventure I am having with my family this year! I am happy to afford all I need and want for myself and my family. I am patient and open to any job changes my husband has or doesn’t have, knowing that the universe is at work for me getting the details all ready for an amazing financial abundance this year! I am so grateful that my husband and I are choosing to let go of everything that didn’t serve us in 2011!! I love that we can happily take our lessons learned into 2012! What a blessing!!!

    I am grateful for the body I get to experience life in. I love shopping for my figure! I am finding beautiful flowing peices to add to my wardrobe and naturally graceful and flowing personality.

    I love and prefer to eat healthy fresh food everyday. Every month, I help myself and family eat healtheir than the month before. It is so natural. My husband and children love the food I prepare for them and their bodies are strong and healthy for it! I love that my husband is in tune with his body and shares an interest with me in taking care of it with all of the tools we have been given!

  • Colleen

    I am manifesting powerful positive growth in myself this year as I SEE myself as a teacher for others and as others teach me. Thanks so much Carol! I want you to know that finding you 5 years ago has made a HUGE improvement in my life and has put me on a path of learning that I feel so grateful for.

  • http://www.facebook.com/imgetsocial Jackie

    I always felt that I knew myself inside and out. I have learned so much more about who I really am. I was so sure I was a Type 2 because that’s the way I was brought up. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to find out I really am a Type 1. Lucky me!!! Without the guidance I received from Carol thru DYT I never would have designed the perfect business cards and site that reflects who I am. I had no idea the true power in all of this. It really is a must have for everyone.

    I am truly living my dream life. I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams.

    Hi Carol,

    This exercise is a wonderful alternative to making New Years resolutions. ( I purposely did not make any this year. Somehow I knew that this year should be different. Here are my affirmations:
    ” I am allowing the truth that I am, that is within me flow freely, lovingly abundantly, to Bless all.

    I am living the truth that I am. I am Blessed in every way.

    Love and Joy
