For many of us the New Year is a time to focus on what it is we want to attract into our lives. We focus on the changes we want to make and plan out how the coming year will be more remarkable and inspirational than ever.

I believe that to live a remarkable and inspirational life means that we have to take extra steps every day to make it so! Our dedication and daily focus on living a remarkable life is what makes our life remarkable.

So what are some simple tasks that we can incorporate into our daily routine to make the coming year the best year ever?

Daily Inspirational Reading
I believe it’s very important to devote at least 15 minutes a day to our spiritual growth and personal development. There are many great books out there that offer daily inspirations.

One of my favorites is A Deep Breath of Life by Alan Cohen. In this book there is a page for each day of the year.

The Celtic Devotional – Daily Prayers and Blessings by Caitlin Matthews is also another favorite of mine. This is a must have for the Celtic spirit.

The Daily Word is yet another favorite of mine. I like it because you can read it daily online, have it sent to your email address or subscribe and receive a little booklet on a monthly basis through snail mail.

Daily Affirmations
It is so important to do our affirmations on a daily basis. And this doesn’t have to take anymore than a few minutes. Affirmations are the food that makes the seeds of our goals come to life.

Spend Time Outside
When we spend time outside with a little sun on our heads this causes a chain reaction of healing to happen in our bodies. It’s also been proven that sunlight helps to lift depression and mellow out anxiety. Spend at least 10-15 minutes a day outside when you can.

Listen to Uplifting Inspirational Music
How much time do you spend in the car everyday? If you are a commuter, having great music to listen to is a MUST! It has been scientifically proven that angry music makes us angry, depressing music makes us depressed. The music we listen to affects us, there is no doubt about it! So pick music that lifts your spirits and makes you smile ALL THE WAY TO WORK! And if you are home choose to put on uplifting music rather than let the television give you background noise. Television is filled with messages that cause worry and anxiety (so this can be a bad choice when in need of background noise).

These are all such simple steps, and so very easy to incorporate into our lives. Our dedication and daily focus to these steps helps us to indeed live the life we most want to live.
