“I, Joel, deepen relationships and create community with my gifts of healing.”
Each New Year, I settle on an intention, craft a prayer, and distill that prayer into a blessing that becomes the affirmation that I carry through the year. The affirmation calls back the entire prayer. (See my prior post.)
Several years ago, I began to call myself a Physician-Educator-Storyteller. Each time that I read my email signature, it was an affirmation. In a sense, it was a time of becoming. In this new year, I recognize a deeper layer of this becoming. My gifts of healing are doctoring, teaching, and storying. My intention this year is to create and deepen relationships and community with these gifts.
- How will you bless yourself this coming year?
- Where will you find your affirmation?
- What are you becoming?
Don’t get trapped in a New Year Resolution that fails after a few weeks when the resolve runs out. You can only get so far with goalsetting and willpower.
Instead tap into something deeper, what is your New Year Intention? What is the something that makes your heart sing? inspires you? gives you passion? What is the vision and mission behind the goals? If you can keep shifting your focus back to the intention and keep your goals aligned, the inspiration will drive you forward with an endless supply of passion. We all get discouraged, affirmations help shift us back into courage.
- What is your New Year Intention?
- How will you affirm yourself?
- What is your affirmation?
