What would you like to attract in this new year? Visualizing clearly what you want to bring into your life this year is the first step in any goal setting process. Once you clearly and consciously create the images of your coming year then you can focus in on the action steps you will take to bring that visualization into a manifested reality.
I want to set this all up with a quote and then talk about three things to avoid when created your new year for 2012.
Are you asking for what you really want, or are you asking for the means of getting what you want?

The quote obviously points to the first thing to avoid when you begin the visualization process. If you are focused on the “how” to achieve your visualization, you focus on the wrong thing. The “how” is the job of source energy. Your job is to create the most compelling image you can of what you want to create in 2012. Now that could be your dream home, your dream holiday, your dream date, your dream relationship, your dream lifestyle. My recommendation is to create a list of ten things ( you can tell I like the number ten) you would like to attract into your life this year. You can create categories into which you place those dreams. For instance, you can break your list into personal, health, spiritual, material, relationships, family, travel. You can create one or two visualization to go into each area…or maybe you have ten dream holidays you would like to attract into your life in 2012. Go for it.
The second thing to avoid when creating your list is working from an all ready painted canvas that is your current life. This is a very limited way of operating and creating. So when you sit down to work on the ten things you would like to attract into your life in 2012, work from a blank canvas. Don’t do something like this (as a visualization exercise) “If I sell off my current house I could step up toward my dream house by going up market one or two steps. I could get a house on the more upscale east side with larger bedrooms, and a bigger backyard.” Now that sound entirely possible, its something you could manifest…but it isn’t what you really want.
As an example: my dream home would be located in a warm tropical environment, on a beach front ocean view were I can step out of my house across the lawn and onto the sandy beach. That’s just the start of course. I’ve visualized how my bedroom would look, from the king-size bed, the color of the bed linen, to the wall decor to the meditation space on the deck just outside the siding doors of my bedroom that face the ocean view. The floors are hardwood cherry. There is a reading nook again facing out to the surf. Detail, detail detail. When you visualize write it down and ask yourself questions like….what colors do I see, what is the feel of the linen sheets, what is the scent of the sea breeze that caresses the bedroom. What do you see from various location in the bedroom. What sort of furniture do you want. Use the senses, sight, sound, touch, smell, taste if appropriate: such as the fresh taste of the tree ripen oranges that grow in your back garden. Have fun with this. How does it make me FEEL! The more detailed, the better. Create a vision board of each room. Be creative. The more fun and delight you take in the process the less likely you are to resist your creation.
When I was creating the visual for my ideal home I went online and looked at real-estate in Hawaii. I did a Google search for beach side homes. I looked at houses in the 5 to 12 million dollar range. Many of those sites had video tours through the homes and gardens, which gave me a lot of material to work into my visualization. I was surprised by the number of multi-million dollar homes I really didn’t like, but that helped me really focus in on the elements I wanted in my dream home
The third thing to avoid is resisting the resistance.
Obviously when you start the process of visualization, depending on where you are personally, resistance to what you are doing is going to arise. Again when I was surfing through those homes in Hawaii, I kept asking myself how I was going to come up with the money (see what to avoid #1). Then I would go oh no! I can’t think like that, I have to be open to the possibility. What that does is just create more resistance. The best thing to do is just acknowledge your resistance, and then keep going. My suggestion…and again you might not want to be doing this in the middle of a crowded food court, because the men in the white suits might show up for you…is to point to the resistance. Take your finger and point toward the imaginary location of that resistance and say something like.” Okay…I understand…that’s my created resistance…I see you…thank you.” And then just go right back to creating and visualizing.
If you try not to resist, it is the same as trying not to think of a pink elephant. Opps…pink elephant.
Here is a another quote from Bob Doyle’s book:Follow Your Passion, Find Your Power: Everything You Need to Know about the Law of Attraction
Don’t worry about a timetable. Seriously. Your Ego demands results now, but impatience really causes you nothing but trouble and will keep you exactly where you are now. The Ego wants to stay in control. Things will come to you at the perfect time, to the extant that you allow them to.

So while we are talking about what you want to attract into your life in 2012…don’t get hung up on it having to happen in 2012. The idea of creating the list for 2012 is to get you thinking, visualizing, and manifesting your vision of your life….which is all ready in existence in the universe, you’ve created it in your mind.
Practice, preferably daily…visualizing the things on your list, leads you to the manifestation of your every dream.
Here is a PDF download to help you with the process. I would keep this sheet in the front of your 3X10 exercise book.
