Checking the Back Burner

As 2011 draws to a close and you prepare for a brand-new year, it can be helpful to do a check-in about where you sit, what you feel good about, and what you sense is still in process. Getting up to date with yourself at year-end is especially fruitful as we head into the accelerated energies of 2012.

This next year will be significant on many levels, regardless of who you are and your station in life. You and those you love will be involved in countless changes and humanity in general will have an unprecedented year of revolutionary shifting.

Consider what you still have on the back burner as 2011 is ending. Invite your higher wisdom to help you put these things in perspective. Prioritize them. Notice any feelings of anxiety or worry when you focus on these things. Observe the feelings, be with them for a moment, and then shift your focus to something positive. You don't want to take worry with you into tomorrow.

When you do a personal check-in like this, receiving spirit's view of your path, you can be better prepared for the new things coming your way in 2012.

Before sleep tonight, take five or ten minutes to connect with your higher self and envision the life you want to create this next year. Take those positive thoughts into your dream state, intending that you awaken well rested and with enthusiasm for being alive during such a remarkable time.
