CREATING YOUR
RESOLUTIONS IN A
WAY
J
BY MARCI SHIMOFF
ust as predictably as the ball drops in
Times Square as we greet the 1st day
of January, people around the world will be
using the fresh energy of a new year to set
their resolutions. And just as predictably as
the Valentine’s Day cards will appear in the
stores on the 1st day of February, over half
of all resolutions made will have already been
broken.
You might be thinking, well, if that’s all it takes
to achieve my resolutions, I’m happy to switch
my angle of creation, but how do I know
when I’m creating from the ego and when I’m
creating from the soul?
Why do you think it’s so hard to stick to and to
fulfill our New Year’s resolutions?
I believe it has to do with how we create them.
To increase the possibility of fulfilling any
resolution or intention, it needs to be created
from the soul rather than from the ego.
The answer is stunningly simple: When we
make choices from the realm of the ego,
the feeling in our body is that of contraction,
anxiety and fear and what manifests in our life
is struggle. We feel like we’re always pushing,
forcing, and over-efforting, and that we need
to manipulate and control in order to get the
results we desire. When we try to create from
our ego, it’s always an up-hill battle because
we’re living outside the Miracle Zone.
When we begin to create all of our intentions
from the soul, we’ll not only be more likely to
achieve the individual intentions but we’ll start
living a much more effortless flow in what I call
“the Miracle Zone.”
When we set our intentions from the soul, the
experience is completely different because
the realm of the soul is the realm of love,
expansion, effortless flow, all possibilities
and miracles.
