BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Pagan Goals for the New Year - Spiritual and Mundane

I hope you all have a safe and happy new year. Please feel free to share any resolutions, goals and plans whether they are for your spiritual life or more mundane.

I admit I have the ever universal weight loss goal but also want to be more goal oriented in general with writing and education.

Hi Trish, I have that weight loss goal too! But one of my main goals is to remember to do my affirmations for my goals. I notice when I'm doing affirmations things flow along, but then I'll forget and things will slow down again. Gotta remember to do them daily!! So that's my biggest one. I figure if I can keep up with the affirmations, everything else will fall into place

I have been "playing" guitar for a number of years. Playing around would be more apt. I can only truly play one song. I push it behind other obligations and hobbies, so I haven't truly learned to play. This year I plan to teach myself to go through the "Rock Guitar for Dummies" book. Hopefully that won't take a whole year, but we'll take it as it comes.

Another is to continue with my yoga practice with the ultimate goal of losing a few pounds and remaining relatively stress free. I should post a goal about inversions in here too, but I don't want to over reach!

The affirmation goal is a great one Deanna. I have been using prayer beads off and on and plan on doing that more with prayers and affirmations. I find using something physical like the beads makes affirmations more concrete for me. You're right about everything else falling into place. It really provides clarity for your goals to affirm them.

Froggie, good luck with the yoga and musical goals. I've really been sporadic with yoga, but being more consistent is a goal of mine too. I'm never going to be what the medical community considers my "ideal" weight, but I do want to lose enough to bring my cholesterol down and to feel more comfortable adding some jogging when I walk.

Finish the next books of the "Growing Up Pagan" series for children. Lose a few pounds, spend more time with the hubby.

I resulve to work on my marrage to make it better! and I am starting with getting ride of the internet and nintendo so my dh may learn that I am more important then the games!
I resolve to be more active and involved with friends and family instead of waiting for my dh to come with me!
I resolve to live my life with or with out my dh in it if it comes down to that!

Oooh Trish, the prayer beads are a good idea! I'll get mine out and start using them! I also like something physical because it does give me more of a feeling of absorbing the affirmations as I'm saying them

MysticSophia,

Those are some intense goals. Working on our relationships is an ever evolving process, but I think it's great that you are also making it a goal to live for yourself. I wish you all the luck, inspiration, and strength you need to achieve your goals.

I am going to look for my God/Goddess inside of myself. Part of that will be getting healthier and more fit.

I totally agree. I have felt great today and did quite well. Ate correctly, wrote a bit..even managed to break out the juicer and make some yummy organic juice from carrots, apples and tangelos. I hope to make this a healthier year, also.
