As we embark on a new journey this year, I thought I would share some of steps I took to move my life forward in 2011.  One small change could make a world of difference.  Let me know if you try any of these or have questions on my Facebook Fan Page at Minister of Beauty.

10 Steps Towards Balance and Abundance:
1) Feed your spirit. Take walks in nature. Pray or meditate at least 15 minutes a day.  Create a sacred space in your home.

2) Start journaling for self discovery, stress management and emotional well-being.  If you don't know where to start check out this page I found:    http://www.createwritenow.com/journaling-ideas/  
  
3) Create a vision board.  Get some magazines, poster board and glue.  Cut out pictures and words that give you a visual of your intentions for 2012.  As you choose your pictures, notice if they move you to your core.  If they do, move them.  Try not to clutter your board.  Then post it in an area that you will pass daily.

4) Write down at least ONE intention for each of these areas (stretch a little):  Spirit, Family, Career, Health

5) Have a date with yourself  EVERY week. Take a bath. Go to dinner and a movie. Get a manicure/pedicure. Dress up. Discover your city.

6) Hire a life coach, counselor or enlist the support of a close friend that will hold you accountable to your intentions.

7) Take time to discover your passion and use it to give back to others.  It will make you feel amazing. Take a moment to be inspired.  http://greatday.com/motivate/110202.html


8) Make time to laugh.  Laughing helps your overall well-being. Watch a funny movie.  Go to a comedy show.  Get together with friends


9) Surround yourself with like-minded people.  I found being around other women who wanted to make a difference in the world provided huge momentum and inspiration.


10) Stop letting FEAR hold you back. Ask your self, "How would my life be if I wasn't afraid?"  When you use your visualization to see and feel the answer I promise you will see change.  No matter what it is, weight-loss, building your business or even falling in love, give fear a BIG kick in the butt.

These are just SOME of the things I did in 2011 that changed my life.  I hope they help transform your world in some way.
