Theme your year
If you’ve never chosen a theme for your year before, it can be:
a broad, general statement
a thread of consciousness or thought
kind of like a vision or mission statement but not so stuffy
an overriding idea
a repeating thought
a unifying idea
memorable
the subject of discourse or discussion
ongoing meditation with God or self
And here are some reasons a yearly theme is a good idea:
helps keep you focused, on target, on track
supports Laws of Attraction – if you’re telling the Universe clearly what you desire, then you’re more likely to co-create it!
provides ongoing encouragement as you see your theme coming to fruition throughout the year
You get to make your own rules.
Will your theme be:
fun or serious
personal, professional, or both
yearly, monthly, or for an event or project?
Will you start on January 1 or your birthday or your business anniversary?
Will you publicize your theme or keep it to yourself?
I’ve had a number of themes for myself over the years including:
Connection & Community
Sacred Spaces
The Year of Allowing
Elizabeth’s Year of Extreme Self Care
Here are some other examples of themes
—general and specific—that might inspire you:
Creativity
Trying new things
Taking better care of your health
Organization
Being a better communicator
Learning
Making more money
Deepening your relationships
Living a more balanced life
Developing your spiritual practice

Before you pick your theme, ask yourself these questions:
What do you really, really, really want this year in the areas of
RELATIONSHIPS
CAREER
FINANCES
HEALTH
SPIRITUALITY
PERSONAL GROWTH?
Brainstorm your dreams and desires for the coming year. Think big, think small, think in the box and think out of the box. Think short-term and long-term. Think realistically and think pie-in-the-sky! The idea here is simply to capture all of your desires on paper so you can then go back and review all the ideas in your head!
If you can, spend some time with this over the next few days. Journal, talk to friends and family, create a vision board, find a personal anchor (rock, photo, etc) and then pick your theme.
Remember
Intention + Attention = Results!

Hey Elizabeth!
It's me mel. Great New year post!
I like to visit a lot of different coaching sites. It always provides me with an extra boost of umph and spark and keeps my creativity dancing. This theme is a great reminder for me as I focus on more fun and positive self talk.
Have a groovy week. mel
