As we are in the final days of 2016, I invite you to create some space to review the past year, if you haven’t already done so.

Typically, I do this by creating some time and space to honor:
– who I was this past year,
– the lessons I learned,
– to honor the things I willingly or grudgingly released,
– and to celebrate the magic and successes!

You might be wondering why? Because it is the best way I know to move forward for the next year. If I’m still stuck on something in 2016, how can I creatively move forward in 2017?

The new moon in Capricorn (today) is about business and finance! I think that is perfect timing to think about 2017. If you have your own business, what do you want to manifest this coming year? 2017 is a universal 1 year, new beginnings and also the first year of the next 9 year cycle.

If you work for someone else, you can still set your goals for this coming year at your job. Where do you want to be by the end of the year? What kind of things do you want to be recognized for this year? What do you want to remember as your greatest accomplishment or success?

In my life coaching business, I would be asking you for specific information about what you want to manifest … a timeline, as many details as you can imagine. I prefer to do this by using my imagination and visualizing an amazing year for myself and what that looks like for me.  I would usually start at the end of the year and what was I reflecting on as my successes.

Then, I’ll pick up a pen and put it into form by writing it out. Then I might add it on my calendar with ‘to do’ dates to accomplish the things that I ‘saw’.

This will help to keep you on track and moving forward. Do yourself a favor… pick 3 things to accomplish. If you do a whole list, you might get overwhelmed. If you pick three things and give yourself a reasonable amount of time to accomplish them you have a much better chance of success.

The other thing I want to ask you to do is to take time to relax.  Right now, before the end of the year.  Slow down physically, mentally and energetically.  Mercury is still retrograde, so double check your work.  Take a break.  Take a nap.  Review written communication.  Finish old projects.  Say goodbye to those people, places, and things that have completed their cycle with you.

An amethyst will help your mental and emotional clarity.

Wishing you a successful year in review and an amazing New Moon Intention Manifesting Moment!!!
