What to Look for in 2012–No Ouija Board Required

by Fae Rowen

Let me offer this disclaimer first:  Even though I’ve spent a lot of hours researching this particular blog, it is purely for entertainment purposes.  Take what resonates with you, what you find fun (or funny), what you can use to construct your personal, unique understanding of this information.  I want to thank Jeanine Just for her insight and helpful research.

One of the things I committed to this year at WITS is to share a bit of my “out there” beliefs and knowledge.  I can identify with you if you cry, “Hogwash!” because I’ve been there, too.  Change is inevitable.  Remember entrophy in chemistry and physics?

Yeah, I agree.  Maybe it’s better to forget those classes.

I know this is an important year for me, so I’ve been talking to my “woo-woo” friends, reading articles, and attending lectures about what this new year, 2012, the Year of the Water Dragon, the last Mayan calendar year, will bring us.  I believe if we are aware of potential opportunities we can take advantage of them.  Now is the time to get inspired and get going.  I’m excited about the possibilities for 2012.

Breathe a sigh of relief, because 2012 promises to be calmer than 2011. You may find yourself focusing more on the well-being of others as well as your own.  You may even volunteer or become involved to help, as one source says, “correct a social problem.”  There is great potential for new-found freedoms.

Here’s a list of advice to take advantage of possibilities for a fuller life in next twelve months.

1. Tie up loose ends, complete unfinished projects
2. Acquire new success skills to build  foundations for what’s next in your life
3. Go forward fearlessly with your heart’s desires to confidently make life changes
4. Let go of past losses, bad decisions and shattered dreams–without drama
5. Focus on things you prefer to experience
6. Respond rather than react
7. Prepare for an intense, fast-paced year with major breakthroughs
8. Turn crisis into blessings
9. Do not get caught up in the manufactured fear of the unknown, change, security, or loss of control
10. Be discerning
11. Reorder your priorities
12. Move forward, it’s the only direction we can go this year

26. Break free of old patterns and habits that make you depressed or unhappy
27. Revisit your “old” life to help close the doors on the past that you no longer need
28. “Be truth”
29. Indecision is worse than the wrong decision

39. Businesses that are passionate about their products and services will flourish
40. Interdependence, not dependence or co-dependence are
41. Surround yourself with positive supportive people
42. Connect with like-minded people
43. You will rarely be in the situation for the reasons you think; very everything from a broader perspective
44. Upgrade your energy–physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually
45. Don’t personalize “stuff”
46. Quiet your brain
47. Give yourself a time-out to walk in nature
48. Nothing can stand in the way this year
49. Let go of preconceived ideas about people, places, ideas, and situations
50. Staying stuck will become more painful than making changes
51. Logic and linear thinking won’t work like they used to
52. Bravely take trips into the unknown
53. Paradox will abound
54. Use your imagination to envision your best future
55. Empower and heal

Actually, the advice seems helpful for any year.  But this year, in particular, the list may prove quite powerful.  My suggestion is to highlight a handful of items that relate to you and your situation right now.  In a different color, highlight another set that you’re drawn to, even if you don’t know (now) why they call you.  Review your highlighted possibilities/reminders once a month to refresh your memory of your potential for this year.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this time next year we have taken advantage of the opportunities available to us this year to reach our potential to enjoy our lives fully?

Which ideas resonated with you?  Do you have additional “movie trailer” suggestions for 2012?
