After you acknowledge what you have accomplished (see Celebration Inventory thread), you now put together your New Year's INTENTIONS, which emphasize the postiive. Rather than saying "I must lose 10 lbs," try "I would love to choose food that gives me the energy I deserve,". Appreciating yourself will help you be your own best ally in working toward success!!

In 2007 I intend to:

1- Continue with charitable and humanitarian efforts.
2- Get to goal and stay there.
3- Exercise more for my health.
4-Find a financial way to stay home with my kids. I am really ready to devote a lot more time to my home and family, with a sideline of humanitarian work.

Ladies, I wanted to add that part of getting what you want is putting it verbally to the universe. Take a look at your intentions and speak them out loud. However, do not say "I wish, I want, or I plan", instead say "I will".
