How can this New Year’s be the best yet—despite dire predictions? It can be truly joyful and filled with meaning and magic if you recognize the seeds of a New World growing both within you and around you–and nurture these seeds in some way. Here are some keys to experiencing the New World in this New Year:1. Keep your eyes on the horizon, but your feet on the ground: this is the year of big changes when you need to be especially practical and grounded.
2. Understand the higher evolutionary plan: meditate on the big picture and ask about your life purpose and contribution to a better world.
3. Focus on solutions, not problems: scan for breakthrough solutions by heroic innovators—they will inspire you be creative in addressing your own challenges.
4. Create a sense of community for mutual support: wherever you are, bring people together around a common purpose and sharing together because community is a verb, not a noun.
5. Practice appreciation and generosity: notice all the good things in your life you are grateful for—this will help the good to grow; at the same time, give more, so you can experience true detachment from things.
6. Find the grain of truth on each side of an argument: transcend dualities and find the underlying unity in everything.
7. Search for common ground in any conflict: explore your common interests and find mutually beneficial solutions.
8. Be fully present in each moment: let go of worries about the past and future, as you are helping create the future both personally and collectively right now through your thoughts and actions.
9. Make friends with your subconscious, sending it love each day: appreciate all its practical resources and its positive intent in how it tries to protect you, but teach it more enlightened strategies to fulfill your common soul purpose.
10. Trust in a benevolent universe and the light within you: it will guide you in ways you’d never expect!
