As you might be able to imagine, I love doing my New Years Resolutions. I generally like dream-building type of exercises as they’re fun to do. I like to look back on my New Years Resolutions and am amazed how many of them are now a realitI have written up a couple of simple ideas below that have worked well for me over the years.

The second is a simple self-hypnosis tool that is great for focusing on one thing that is most important to you at this time.
Dream Building Ideas
If such as time and money etc were no object, write down all the things that you would most like to do, be or to have. You can do this for the coming year, the next 5 years or 10 years.

Some of the things in the 10 year list were things I could not really believe would happen when I started this 12 years ago. They were so far from my reality then, but many of them have now come true. The power of the written word and focusing your mind on what you want instead of what you don’t enables you to achieve these things. It’s hard to reach your goal if you don’t have them clearly laid out and your brain is set up to work towards what you are focused on.
So that’s a great first step, to know what you want, and that can be enough. If you want to take it further with some of your most important or trickier goals, you can do the simple, short self-hypnosis below.
