New Year's Resolutions 2017 - Magic Style!
It’s that time of year again – that time when we reflect on the successes and mistakes of the previous twelve months, make our resolutions, and daydream about all of the brilliant things we are going to achieve this year.
This time around, rather than just daydreaming, how about taking some serious action?
A lot of “muggles” I know (and let’s face it we’ve all been guilty of this…) make lackluster and uninspiring New Year’s resolutions – “I will lose two stone in weight”, “I will paint the conservatory”, “stop biting my nails” etc.
You get the idea…
Many of these resolutions are rarely achieved, mainly because they are so god damn boring! Even if they do happen to get around to achieving them, so what! They’re not exactly going to set the world alight now, are they?
Now, I’ve nothing against a useful personal achievement, such as losing weight. But as a witch or wizard we should be thinking much, much bigger…
A true witch or wizard achieves extraordinary things in the time that they have – and if you feel like you haven’t quite got there yet then the New Year is a great place to start!
So dream big. You are a Magician! But choose your goals wisely, choose them smart.
A goal should be positive – frame it in positive language. Think “I will land a wonderful better paid job that will make me happy and affluent” rather than, “I won’t be miserable at work and poor anymore”.
Remember, your subconscious mind cannot process negatives – all it hears and works with are “poor” and “miserable”.
A goal must be ambitious, it must stretch you, or really what’s the point? It is important that you can break your goal down into smaller steps though, so that you can really imagine clearly the direction you are taking (and celebrate well deserved successes along the way). Write these steps down so that it really sinks in!
Don’t waste time and mental energy on goals that you secretly don’t care about.
Your family wants you to be become a doctor? If your heart’s not in it then this is not going to do you any favours; in fact you will be fighting the very nature of magic itself as willpower is at the root of all magic. Any success you do have in this area will be very hard won, and it will not make you happy.
However wacky your goal is, it is yours alone. When your willpower and action are aligned, this is when you will move mountains and do things you barely imagined you could. Again, don’t waste your precious energy on stuff that you feel you should do but actually don’t care about.
Which brings me on to – ACTION!
A true witch or wizard is very practical. They realize that magic is a helping hand, a super-booster that amps and insures their dreams – but at the end of the day, it is sometimes illogical to use magic for small things that you can do with your actual hands…
Taking practical action in the real world is an act of faith, and a very powerful magical aid. If you take one step towards magic, magic will take twenty towards you.
Wishing and dreaming alone do not equal magic. So actually DO that prosperity /love spell etc. and take some practical steps forward to show your mental commitment.
Make your New Year's Resolutions MAGICAL this January 2017!
