It’s hard to believe that the holidays are here and the new year is less than 30 days away!

Just last week, I was reflecting on the end of this year with a group of three women I’m leading a curated mastermind for. The session was committed to walking through a process of identifying their relationship with desire and their relationship with receiving.

I defined the exploration as follows:

Desire - How much freedom do they give themselves to want something?

Receiving - How open are they to actually embracing what they desire?

In my work, exploring desire and openness to receiving are the fundamental principles that are the groundwork for opening up to a life of goodness, fulfillment, purpose, and joy. You can’t open up to a life you love without first allowing yourself to want something (anything!) or without considering how much you’re really available for what you say you want.

We all have ways we subconsciously keep what we want at arms length. The way to create what you REALLY want, however, is to give yourself to intentionality and vision.

As the New Year approaches, I’m sharing with you the exact process I led my group through last week. In the spirit of service and giving, it’s my gift to you this holiday season.

If you take this process on fully, and really allow yourself to dive deep into the inquiry, you will find hidden gems, creative ideas, and new inspiration for your life.

Intentions & Visioning Process for This Year

Directions: Set aside a minimum of 30 minutes to really give yourself space to be with the questions below. Answer each one in order here; they build on each other. My encouragement is also to set the environment for doing this exercise and to create a space that feels inspiring and creative. Perhaps you listen to music, or go outside, or to your favorite coffee shop, etc. Set your intention to participate fully and to be open to what you find... and go for it!

1. If anything were possible, what would a miracle be for me in 2023? This is time to really let yourself dream, even for things that might feel out of reach or even impossible. Think about one miracle for your personal life and one miracle for your professional life.

2. What do I imagine will be different in my life if those miracles were to occur? (What would be different on the inside and outside?)

3. How are you currently blocking these miracles? (Internally: Beliefs, thoughts, feelings. Externally: behaviors and actions.)

4. Who does my miracle need me to be to come to fruition? What kinds of beliefs and behaviors would I get to embody to meet my miracle?
