Start 2014 Off Right

“Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.” ~Brad Paisley

Each of us is given the same 24 hours, 1440 minutes, 86,400 seconds each day. Let's start 2014 off on the right foot and really make this a year to remember. You only get one chance at this thing called life. We all make mistakes, but most of us learn from those mistakes and know how to change for the future.


Tomorrow is the first day of a new year, get a new journal or notebook ready and make this year a year to remember. Everyone is always saying how this year just flew by and every year seems to be going faster than the last. Well, let's really remember this year. Create your miracle jar. Journal about all of the great things that happen each and every day.

Standing in front of you is a blank slate with 365 brand new days. Make 2014 the best year yet! Make it a year you will want to remember many years down the road. It hasn't even started yet and I already know it is going to be my best year yet. I have so many dreams and goals that I am going to achieve this year and this is just the start of the year! Join me daily on this journey and make this the best year to remember!

Daily Affirmation Challenge, Day 7

Continue using the same affirmation you started with on day 1.  Remember, it can be your own or the one I'm using.

Affirmation: I love myself unconditionally. I love my body and all of its flaws. I am unique and perfect just the way I am. Love comes to me naturally and I know just how to share my love with those who I come into contact with.

Step 1: Stand or sit in front of the mirror. Chant OM 21 times to help clear your mind and raise your personal vibration. Then say the affirmation out loud 21 times to yourself in the mirror.

Step 2: In your notebook or journal, write Day 6 as the heading, then write your affirmation 21 times.

Step 3: Spend a few minutes in quiet meditation. This can be anywhere from 2-30 minutes, just spend some quiet time alone and enjoy the peace and serenity that washes over you at this time.

Go about the rest of your day. If any negative thoughts come up about your affirmation, stop, acknowledge those feelings and then just let them go. If you need to, repeat your affirmation to yourself a few times to help release the negativity you may have.

Here are the other days in the challenge. You can start with Day 1 any day and just follow along with the rest of the days in order.

Venus Self Renewal, Day 8

Day 8 of 40 Days of Venus Self Renewal: Gratitude. Write down 10 or more things that you are truly thankful for in this past year. However 2013 unfolded for you, take a moment to bring to mind what you are grateful for in your life. Keep a self-empowered focus. If you list a material object, allow yourself to look deeper and write what that object means to your life. When you pause and reflect include what really makes you feel wholeheartedly good, what uplifts your spirit, what has taught you deep lessons, what has given you blessings, what touches your heart and what expands your capacity to love and be your authentic self. Keep writing until you feel done. Breathe that in, and out.

If you feel called, do a small ritual to symbolise giving thanks to the universe/ divine/ source energy/ oneness/ your higher self. You are welcome to add your ideas in the comments below.

Venus Self Renewal, Day 7

Day 7 of 40 Days of Venus Self Renewal: What have you learned about yourself and your life in 2013? Write out 10 or more things. Keeping a soul nourishing perspective write out your list as if you were writing it about a beloved friend. It’s unlikely you would say ‘Oh, you learned you completely lack courage!’. Right? Word it in a way that encourages your highest movement forward. Such as, ‘You learned that you move through life in the best way you know how in that moment’.

Use markers, pencils or other materials to circle or highlight words that jump out for you.

Venus Self Renewal, Day 6

Day 6 of 40 Days of Venus Self Renewal: Acknowledge the goings-on in your inner world today. Take a few deep breaths in and out. Bring your awareness to the emotion(s) wanting your attention, the thoughts in your focus, the beliefs you are holding and how you feel in your skin in this now moment. Allow yourself to observe these goings-on, sans judgement. Then visually express this out (or express out what needs to come to the surface) using whatever medium calls you, such as pastels, pencils, watercolours, collage, etc. When you are done ask your piece ‘What is your name?’, and write that down.
