In the year of 2009 I created 10 commandments that really helped me along the way. The point of creating goals or affirmations in the New Year for me is to be a part of the designing process of your life. Let it go. And then look back and see how well you managed to keep to your word. You can check back at what you wrote every month or every now and then to keep you on track. These are the commandments I wrote for 2 years ago in 200 but I would like to continue to make them a part of my growth in 2012. Maybe they will have some relevance to you and your goals.
10 Commandments
Thou shall be compassionate and patient with thyself
Thou shall eat healthy and exercise frequently
Thou shall be impeccable with your word
Thou shall build on a Financial Plan daily
Thou shall not take anything personally
Thou shall meditate 5 hours a week (wow this was in 2009. Now in 2012 I will meditate for 14 hours a week)
Thou shall not make assumptions
Thou shall be a problem solver
Thou shall always do your best
Thou shall stay positive
Those were my thoughts in 2009. In 2012 there are slight revisions I can make like meditating longer hours etc but for the most part it still is something I would love to continue in my life. Glad I created it. One other thing I created that has helped me and still does is the 8 Way Method.
8 ways. In the bagua there are 8 directions that are used to create a holistic balance in a space in regards to feng shui. The 8 ways are: WHWF and RCCC
WHWF stands for
Wisdom
Health
Wealth
Fame
RCCC stands for
Relationships
Creativity
Contacts
Career
I can certainly go over how I used these 8 areas of concentration practically in my every day life and scheduling but that is a whole other post and blog conversation. Let’s just simply figure out how these 8 directions can assist me and perhaps you with creating your goals for the New Year. Here are my aspirations for an example:

So that is one way you can use the 8 ways to outline a structure for your goals this year and in life. If you want to use the 8 ways every day to inch forward be my guest. That is what I do daily. Just email me at youcan@undakova.com and I will give you more information on how I structure my life around the 8 ways. As a scheduling tool you can use the 8 ways so you can create each day in a more holistic fashion tailoring your actions to several aspects of your self and spiritual needs. Peace and love.
