Creating from Your Soul: the Miracle Zone

Creating from Your Soul Using the Miracle Zone: A New Approach to Your New Year’s Resolutions

by Marci Shimoff

Just as predictably as the ball drops in Times Square at midnight on January 1, people around the world will be using the fresh energy of a new year to set their resolutions.  And just as predictably as the Valentine’s Day cards show up in the stores by the end of January, more than half of all the resolutions made will have already been broken.

Why do you think it’s so hard to stick to and fulfill our New Year’s resolutions?

I think it has to do with how we make our resolutions. We aren’t creating them properly!

Most of us are creating our resolutions from our ego desires.  Here’s a subtle but very powerful shift that can remarkably make your resolutions work: You need to create your resolutions from your soul rather than from your ego.

When we create our resolutions from our soul, we achieve them more easily and we start living in a more effortless flow, in what I call “the Miracle Zone.”

So, now you’re probably thinking, well, if that’s all it takes to achieve my resolutions, I’m happy to do that, but how do I know if my resolutions are from my ego or from my soul?

The answer is stunningly simple:  When you make choices from the realm of the ego, your body will feel some contraction, anxiety or fear, and what will show up in your life is struggle.  If you feel like you’re pushing, forcing, and over-efforting, and that you need to manipulate and control in order to get the results you want. . .that’s ego. When you try to create from the ego, it’s always an up-hill battle because you’re living outside the Miracle Zone.
