The figures are in - about 78% of new years resolutions will fail throughout the year. Oops. Seems kind of pointless then... but not to lose hope! In no way is visualisation a waste of time. It seems we just need a better way to actualise these dreams.
One way that I'm trying this year, is to focus on a word of the year rather than re-hash the list of goals/resolutions that popped up last year. Because seriously, honestly - how many resolutions keep repeating themselves over and over and over again in your life?

Christine Kane explains the idea of letting your year revolve around a word, yes! a single word - she breaks it down, makes it simple, and encourages you to take action. And she's been doing this for a number of years now - read one of the amazing stories

To start the ball rolling, my word of 2010 is ACCEPTANCE. No more of this trying to please others all the time so that I lose myself in the process. No more looking to others to prove I am worthy.
We are all amazing, loving beings of immense wonder and we lose that knowledge sometimes. We lose faith in ourselves. This year, I'm going to get that back and I look forward to the journey.
What journey will your word take you on?
Happy new year fellow yogis, may the 12 months ahead be the most sparkly yet.
