Welcome!

Happy Holidays. As we approach the end of the year, I thought you might need a little boost to think about what you REALLY want to see happen throughout 2007, in your life. Check out my feature article for a very fun way to wish for what you want. If you need help crystallizing your goals for the year, check out my GOALS 2007 program under the "Coaching Offer" section.

My new e-course website launches mid January and I am very eager to see how much you love it. I hope you do! Look for an announcement from me very soon or check the front page of my website. Most of my writing brainpower, in 2006, was devoted to the new site so I hope to be more consistent with this newsletter moving forward. I really appreciate your patience with me this past year.

I also realize I turned many of you away when you wanted to hire me as your coach. My practice was very full all year and I needed to keep some space open for my web project so I can ultimately coach MORE of you than ever before. I'm happy to say that reality will arrive very soon.

On a personal note, my family gathered for Christmas, in Hawaii, and it was very special for me to see them. We practically had to pry my Mom away from her beach chair! There's something about the ocean that's so comforting and energizing. In fact, I think I'll do some of my writing next year sitting at the beach. One of my themes for the year is to look for ways to add more "dimension" to everything I do. Why work at a desk when you can work from a beach chair? I'll talk more about my ideas on dimension next month.

As we approach 2007, think about some of the ways you can make your life more fun, meaningful or pleasurable. Break up your routines, for example. Any ideas on how you can do that today?

In closing, 2006 was a wonderful year for me. Work-wise, it was largely about building toward 2007, though. I can honestly say I am thrilled about the prospects for this next year. I have a lot planned for you, so please stay tuned! You've all been on my mind this year and I look forward to reaching out and helping many more of you create an amazing life.

Your coach,

Kristin

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream another dream." - C.S. Lewis

Wishing for a brand, new bike when you were five years old was super easy. So, what makes wishing so tough for people when they grow up? Oh, you may think it's easy to wish for what you want. But, is it?

Every year around this time, I ask my clients to answer this question....

"If I could grant three wishes for you over the next year, what would you wish for?"

In other words....I want to know what they REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want for themselves.

How would YOU answer that question? How DREAMY would your answer be?

There have probably been many wishes that haven't been granted in your life. Don't let that stop you from wishing with all of your heart TODAY, though. And, don't stop at that stage. Take your most precious wishes and make them come true. Wave your own magic wand and create what you want over the next year.

OK, if your eyes are starting to glaze over or you think I'm full of it, I want to have a little chat with you right now. Here's the deal...

If you have a hard time wishing or hoping for what you want, you're burned out on life for some reason. Is that how you want to live?

If your wishes are too small or don't excite you, somewhere along the way, you lost a very important part of yourself. It's time to get it back.

If you don't think wishing for what you want will not make a difference, you...my friend, are in a serious funk! Or, you're just too darn serious in general.

WISHING for what you want is the magical first step you must take if you want some incredible goodies to drop into your life in 2007.

As you set your goals over the next few days in anticipation of the New Year, I want you to infuse each goal with the same feeling you'd have if a magic genie were standing in front of you. BELIEVE you can have what you want. WISH from that place in your heart.

So, what would you WANT? Pick one wish/goal right now and think about it.

Now, let's infuse the goal with some energy.

Do you want to know the real secret behind making a wish come true? Here it is:

Pretend you already HAVE what you want. Get into that feeling and stay there as much as possible.

You see, getting what you want is largely a matter of REMOVING any and all resistance around actually having what you *say* you want. Remove the resistance and your wish will come to you much, much, faster than you might expect.

If your wishes and goals are on the slow boat or stuck in limbo-land, I'd wager a guess you have some resistance around actually having what you *say* you want.

For example:

You might be *wishing* for more money, but you don't have it since you associate that with working harder or paying more taxes.

You might think you want to become your ideal dress size, but deep down you believe it will be too much work or "hard" to lose weight.

You might believe your life would be better if you had your own business, but you worry and wonder if you have what it takes to truly make it. The fear of failure haunts you.

Instead of focusing on the dark-underbelly of your goal (which usually happens on an unconscious level), start focusing on the positive aspects. FLOOD yourself with positive feelings and emotions regarding your goal. As a kid, you didn't think about the possibility of someone stealing your bike. All you thought about was how great it would be to HAVE the new bike and hang out with your friends, right?

Here's how to FULLY wish for what you want with all of your heart and every fiber of your being:

1. Take your most exciting wish/goal for 2007. Write it down clearly.

2. Jump into your time machine and fast forward one year from now.

3. Pretend you have what you wished for. You're debt-free, for example.

4. Now, pretend you are watching a movie and identify 5 positive scenes you might find yourself in, as a result of manifesting your wish.

5. Find ways to literally jump into those scenes now and capture the moment on film. You'll need a friend to help.

Here's an example:

Let's say you really want to start an at-home business. You might even have a specific biz in mind.

Fast forward one year ahead and see yourself WITH the successful home business. See yourself in your home office, for example.

Next, think about 5 moments during your day, week or year that represent the POSITIVE aspects of working for yourself. Such as:

- waking without an alarm and with a smile on your face
- going to an early yoga class, before work
- sitting in your beautiful office talking with a grateful client on the phone
- speaking in front of a large group about your area of expertise
- picking your kids up from school after completing your work at 3PM

These are some of the REAL reasons why most people want to work from home. It's not just about the work. It's about the lifestyle, right? Be honest about why you want what you want.

So, cast yourself in each of the five scenes and literally stage whatever you saw in your mind. Go to a yoga class and ask a friend to snap a photo of you there, looking blissful. Ask your spouse to snap a pic of you looking well-rested and happy, emerging from your bed. Borrow a friend's home office or go to a furniture gallery (yes, really) and pose at the desk. Skip on over to Borders and ask a buddy to snap a photo of you pretending to lead a workshop. Borrow customers in the store to be the audience.

Make sense? Be wacky. Be playful. Take the picture.

Then, post these pictures somewhere VISIBLE.

You see, now, what you have is a moment in time (in the future) you've already experienced! All you have to do is move from where you are today back to that familiar experience.

This is EXACTLY how you will energize your wishes and surround them with a powerful and magnetic force. Give it a try.

The bottom line is this: WISH for what you want. BELIEVE you can have it. Then, EXPERIENCE it as if you already do have it. REMAIN in that "good-feeling" place every single day by looking at your photos/reminders. SOON, you'll get what you want.

Happy New Year!

Kristin
