Happy New Year PAUSE family!

Manifesting is the deliberate act of putting energy & action into attaining a goal. Although each month serves as opportunity to set new intentions [especially around the new moons] the start of a new year is a ripe time to start the practice of manifestation. A few key steps needed to manifesting in the New Year:

• Belief: you must truly believe in yourself and your aspirations. When we have the capacity to see it and believe it, then we have the capacity to receive it.

• Reflect: Each year is like an entire life within itself, so we must reflect upon each month in order to asses where we have been to determine where we want to go.

• Action: Once we have clarity on our path, we need to apply achievable goals that will help bring in the energy we want in our lives.
