Greetings, my friend! This issue focuses on goals, resolutions, and what you can do to keep them on track.

Our goals don't always turn out exactly as we expect. Sometimes they give us much more than we ever dreamed; other times they lead us in a different direction than we had planned. Either way, setting and working towards your goals helps you consciously express who you are as a spiritual being.

So read on (or listen in!) and, as always, please write to me with your thoughts, comments, and questions (jennifer@creativespirit.com). I love hearing from you!

With love and light!

Resolutions that Rock

January is already flying by. Have you made your 2008 resolutions yet? How are they working so far?

You've probably noticed that New Year's resolutions don't often pan out the way you'd hoped. I'm seeing lots of articles and newsletters this month suggesting that we throw out the resolution idea completely.

Even though that's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, there's good reason for the frustration.

We start out the year, determined to turn over a new leaf, to lose weight, exercise, start a business, clean out our clutter, write a book, take up painting, singing, travel, and then Life Happens. We get distracted: "I'll get to it later...when I have more time."

But the truth is that you have to make time when it comes to your goals and dreams. If you really want something, you have to do it whether you feel like it or not, whether you have time for it or not, whether you think you can or not. Actor Denzel Washington says that his father taught him to "Do what you have to do, so you can do what you want to do."

I love that quote, because it's really the secret of any successful writer, artist, actor, small business owner--anyone who consistently achieves their goals. It's about focus, persistence, and consistency. Staying the course.

Making a little time each day for your goal is better than none at all. The work that you do towards your goals adds up. It helps to create a habit of persistence that can cross over into many other goals down the road.

Every road has potholes and hills to climb--every single one. And anything worth doing is never going to be easy, even though it may look like it's easy for someone else. As spiritual beings, we wouldn't have it any other way. The "being" part of you just loves challenges. Because if life were too easy, it would be boring. And we didn't come here to be bored!

You've heard most of this before I know,...but the real question is how the heck do you actually move through life's demands and distractions and "just do it"? Especially when you don't seem to have the time or energy for it.

Here's a tip....try consciously resetting your energy.

If you come home tired from work, you may not have the energy and enthusiasm to head to your computer and start writing, for instance. But you can reset your energy by taking "pause and refresh" moments that help give you the momentum to keep going. These include things like stretching, brief meditation, taking a walk, listening to music, maybe even a hot shower. Just ask yourself in the moment, "What do I need to do right now to reset my energy? After your refresh break, you'll have more energy and creativity to spend on your goal.

Remember, the time you spend adds up. And although you may not see the rewards right now, you will down the road. So pick your top resolution, one that really makes you sing inside, and go for it!

May joy light your life!

Jennifer
