Morgana - Resolutions suck. Do this instead.

Resolutions suck. Do this instead.

Ganesha is a God of doorways, protection, and good fortune: an ideal ally for the turning of the year!

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 2018, and went through my theme creation exercise (page 43).

 

==> My 2018 theme is EWOP.

 

“What does that mean?” you may ask.

 

This year’s theme is particularly personal and quirky. It has a lot to do with the Goddess work I’ve been doing in Bali, and where I want to go deeper next year.

 

Years ago I was sitting in a cafe after I had just completed my Ultimate Money Goddess retreat, and I got into a conversation with another diner.

 

He gave me a pair of sunglasses that said “EWOP,” an acronym for Everything Works Out Perfectly.

 

What a great way to look at the world!  Especially as I take on new projects that stretch me (like selling my father’s house and writing my new book), and as I keep up my personal fight for civil rights and election integrity in the United States.  When things look scary or discouraging, that’s when I want to look through the lense of EWOP: everything works out perfectly.

 


 

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

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...

How to Set Priorities Using the ABCDE Method - Brian Tracy

The more thought you invest into setting priorities before you begin a task, the faster you will get the important things done. The more important and valuable the task is to you, the more motivated you are to overcome procrastination and launch yourself into the job.

Morgana - Your Wealth is in Your Weirdness

When I first became a life coach I was really concerned about being taken seriously, sounding professional, and not looking like a freak. Not much has changed: I still care about all that stuff. But I discovered over time that the more professional and non-freaky I try to sound, the more INVISIBLE I become. The minute I start to talk like a professional coach and go into one of those elevator speeches I spent so much money to learn (you know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you?)… I can see the other person’s EYES GLAZE OVER before they start scanning the room for someone more interesting. I can’t begin to tell you how annoying that is. Then one day, years ago, I stood up at a large networking meeting of high powered female entrepreneurs, pulled out a magic wand and called myself a “witchy” coach, and said something about how “goddesses can be old or young, thin or fat, can do what they want, charge what they want (and Aphrodite sleeps with whomever she wants, and no one dares...
