Morgana - Resolutions suck. Do this instead.

Maybe because we had the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Maybe because the new year (and my birthday) are coming up really soon… I took a break from business to start DREAMING about the future.
This is an essential step to Magic and Manifestation.
The one thing I can promise you my future does NOT hold is New Year Resolutions!
You may have noticed by now that resolutions almost never stick.

Frankly, I think New Year Resolutions are BS. They’re typically born from a place of failure, hurt, and self-abuse. And they set you up for more of the same.

I like to stack the deck for absolute success. The first step is to failure-proof your intention for the new year.

Here’s what I do…

Instead of resolutions I set a THEME for the year.

Setting a theme is like choosing a flavor for the year. A context. What the year will be about. It’s not a fixing thing. It’s a growing thing.

My theme often grows out of what I want to learn and experience this year. I also tune into what’s ready to happen. And EVERYTHING gets accomplished. It just happens. Every year. Without forcing or failure.

Unlike goals, which work best when they’re super specific, a Theme should be general, even vague.

Leave room to be surprised by what shows up and how the theme reveals itself.

In my experience, the surprises are much better than anything I imagined for myself. For example, last year my theme was “Foundation Building.”

I had no idea that would mean I would find–and buy–my dream house (at below my budget), set up house with my husband, and attract my superstar business support team.

Today I cracked open a new copy of my Financial Alchemy workbook for 2017, and went through my theme creation exercise (page 43).

==> This year my theme is Money Goddess Life.

“What does that mean?” you may ask.

This year’s theme is particularly personal and quirky. It has a lot to do with what I’ve been teaching in Bali, and where I want to focus next year.

1) 2016 lit a fire under me to speak out, to be bold, to fight for the rights of humanity–women, children, gays, people of color, people with disabilities, the economically afflicted… ALL people (including able bodied, heterosexual white men). Something in me, probably connected to turning 50 in a little over a week, has shown up in my having fewer F***s and more courage. I saw my mother and grandmother go through this personality shift, and I’m thrilled to be discovering this goddess archetype within myself.

2) Pleasure, Fun, Service, Love, are top values in my life and business. These are inherently ABUNDANT values. The more I stay aligned with these values, and the more I TRUST myself and my intuition, the better my results are in every area of life. And yes, there will be more travel, more weddings with my husband, and leading more spiritual retreats with my ideal clients…

3) I’m writing a book. I’ve completed the first draft of my Money Goddess book proposal. It’s my spiritual manifesto for women who want to grab those slings and arrows of sexism and economic insecurity and create their own fortune according to their own values. I’m playing a whole new game with book agents and conventional publishing… for the sake of creating a global Money Goddess movement. Playing this game scares me, and Sometimes a thing is worth doing something just because it’s scary. Cause that’s what Goddeses do.

What is YOUR theme for the year?  Please share it below.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
