How do you want to feel this year? Set some goals with soul

About 80% of resolutions reportedly fail by February so I talked about a unique approach to goals today on Fox 2 News to keep the new year going strong after new year’s resolutions fall flat. Author Danielle LaPorte had an aha one New Year’s Eve – that so many of us go about making resolutions backwards. We resolve to do or get something; and yet what we really want is the feeling we hope to get by attaining our goals. Below are the interview and details on what I shared:

We all want to “feel good” so LaPorte came out with books and planners to help us define what feeling good means for each of us, what we will do to achieve those feelings (like happy, healthy, energized) and to help us stay on track. These are the books and planners I shared:

• The Desire Map: A Guide to Creating Goals with Soul (available at www.daniellelaporte.com)
• The Desire Map: The Workbook
• The Desire Map Weekly and Daily Planners

Get Grounded. I also talked about how it helps to be relaxed, present and grounded to set smart goals and tune in to what we really want. Aromatherapy is a very effective way to help us unwind and bring us into the present moment and get grounded. I shared one of my favorite blends: the heavenly Priime Escape.

This amazing blend includes:

• precious frankincense (prized for its therapeutic properties)
• fragrant helichrysum
• soothing Roman chamomile
• and bracing spearmint

It helps ease tension, reduce stress, uplift your mood and restore tranquility. This blend also helps focus the mind and promotes deeper states of meditation and relaxation. And it smells really, really good. I get compliments on it every time I use it (available from Ariix representatives and at www.ariixproducts.com).

Do Tell. What are some of the ways you want to feel in 2018? What would you be willing to do to feel that? Do tell.
