How would you like to create a stronger connection with your soul?

This month I’m celebrating the release of a new book that I’m honored to have contributed several pieces to – 365 Ways to Connect with Your Soul. This book was a labor of love from a group of wonderful individuals, and we’ve all been thrilled to watch it hold #1 Best Seller status since it’s debut earlier in November.

I’d like to share with you one of my pieces published in this book and encourage you to get yourself a copy so you can enjoy all of the wonderful entries and stay connected to your soul as you move through the coming year!

I’m so thankful to everyone that has supported this project.

And now, for your enjoyment, here is just one way to Connect with Your Soul…

The Magic of Ink on Paper

As a coach, I’ve been known to ask “If you had a magic wand, what would you wish for?” And, like many coaches, I often encourage my clients to write down their goals.

Why is it so important to write these things down? It seems that written goals have a better chance of being realized.

A Dominican University study has quantified this, showing that “Those who wrote their goals accomplished significantly more than those who did not write their goals.” That alone might be enough motivation for most of us to begin writing down our goals, but there is another, more inspirational, reason for me.

I remember blowing out the candles on my birthday cake and making a wish, and I remember wishing on stars. Maybe you remember these rituals too, or maybe you had other wishing rituals while you were growing up.

I believe wishing rituals came easily to me as a child because children are so connected to their souls. Our wishes reflect the deepest, most authentic part of us.

As a child, the magic of wishing was often provided by an adult (possibly wearing a Santa Claus costume), but as an adult I get the thrill of bringing my own magic to bear on my wishes.

That magic begins with two very non-magical items: pen and paper.
When we write down our goals we have already begun to bring them out of the metaphysical realm – the realm of thoughts, ideas, dreams, and wishes – and into the physical realm, real ink on real paper.

The simple act of bringing your soul’s whispered desires from deep within into the physical world as ink on paper is the beginning of magic – and of wishes coming true.

What wish is your soul asking you to write down today?

I’d love to know! Leave me a comment and let me know. 🙂
