CREATE YOUR DREAM YEAR IN 2014! By Kim Somers Egelsee


There are just about 7 weeks until 2013 ends. Today is the best day to decide that you will shape and create with focus and clarity, so that the foundation is already established to have the best year ever in 2014. After that it can get even better. Make sure you create consciously .
Get curious about your life.... What can be changed, shifted, and made better in your life?
Where can you make space and then create your own opportunities and jump into them? Sometimes you need to grab onto an accountability partner, meet up a few times, and fuel one another to truly sculpt what you want by design. Be excited about your life and what you have decided to create and make happen.
Once you are clearer,be sure to execute enthusiastically and energetically 

Follow these steps to begin creating your dream year.
1. Call or email the person that you intuitively feel will be your best accountability partner. This should be someone who matches you in drive, goals and determination. You can also call upon a coach or a mentor; someone who specializes in finding the greatness within you, teaching you, and helping you soar over any fears that come up. Ask to meet with this person to brainstorm your path, goals and ideas for the new year coming up.
2. Meet with this person at least twice to review, revise and plan the goals and steps toward your dream year. Be bold. Dream big. Dare to rise higher than in your past. Ask them for feedback and their insights, and help them with their life design too. Make plans to meet regularly in the new year to keep one another on track, and to push each other to the highest levels.
3. Now that you are excited and clear, choose one to two areas or goals at a time to work on. Make sure the goals are worded positively. Instead of "I need to stop eating cupcakes and drinking two sodas per day", the goals can say, "I will eat and love healthy, fit and pure by drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day, adding in a green shake, and choosing foods that make me feel my best.'
4. Work on each goal in both small and large steps. Pat yourself on the back for each step you accomplish. Write in your journal to record your progress. Take notice on the days you were bolder, braver or stronger. This trains your brain to have you exhibit these behaviors and attitudes more frequently.
5. Review your notes and journal regularly, and read books and listen to CDs to motivate you daily.
6. Celebrate each accomplished goal and success with something you love, such as a night out, a trip to an art museum, or a day at the beach.
7. Create consciously and live your dream year in 2014....why not begin today?
