Come Share the Crap You Are Leaving in 2009!!
HEY THERE NEW YEARS BABIES!!
Every year at this time we make 3 lists to mark the new year and in this case the new decade!!
Since it’s a proven fact that writing down your intentions gives them a much better probability of actually happening, we will write ours down and for the CRAP WE ARE LEAVING IN 2009, burn that baby up and release it out of our experience!! Check out what dr.deepak chopra has to say
about it: http://www.fourcornersmagazine.com/ISSUES/DEC_JAN10/PDF/FC31.pdf
So create some time and space to honor your intentions and desires while also integrating what lessons you have learned in 2009!
Write 3 lists separately and share them right here! (or with a trusted pal if you are shy 
)
1. CRAP YOU ARE LEAVING IN 2009. This list can be experiences, feelings,
people, circumstance anything that you are just not going to drag into
2010. Whatever does not serve you gets left in ’09 with one caveat, you
must figure out what your lessons were from even the most painful and
seemingly pointless crap that happened. This list will get burned and
returned to the universal energy once it has been witnessed and processed.
2. GEMS YOU ARE KEEPING FROM 2009. Share what you learned and what you are
keeping. Most times gems come out of the crap…just gotta look
3. WHAT YOU ARE CREATING IN 2010. This list should be written in the present
tense and include all areas of your beautiful amazing experience: love,
health, family, wealth, friends, career, fitness, spirituality etc.
For Example:
I am so happy and grateful that
*i am meditating daily
*sleeping 7 hours a night
*writing in my journal
etc…
I am wishing only good things and gratitude for you in 2010. We are the architects and engineers of our life experience so commit to creating your best year/decade yet for 2010!
I will be cheering you on like a crazy maniac!!
love love love,
Terri

So, I need an unbiased third party’s opinion… I was reading your “Crap to leave in 2009″ and when I came to people… I started to tear up. I have a friend who I’ve known since 5th grade. We became very close in college to the point where even though we didn’t go to the same college I knew more about her and her friends some weeks than I knew about my friends at the same school as me. Well, She’s gone through some tough/stressful times in the past year w/ her grandfather dying and switching jobs and going to school part time while still working… but every time I’ve tried to reach out to her I have gotten nothing in return. I called, e-mailed, facebooked, texted, and no response. When I asked her about it she responded right away and got defensive that we used to go for months w/o talking and then jump right back in like no time had passed. but when I asked her for an address to send a “save the date” to, I didn’t get a response for 2 months. I’m thinking of leaving her and all of the pain between us in 2009. Is that unreasonable?
Leaving behind: Guilt ( I hope). Anxiety. Taking on projects for reasons that have nothing to do with fun. In other words, the near inability to say ‘No”.
Gems kept from ’09: Loving wife and kids in my life. Greater balance and peace of mind. Joy in work and with the people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. More sustained appreciation and awareness of positive things in myself.
Creating: More financial independence while having fun in my work. Editing unnecessary obligations (or sense of). Making more time to grow and develop in personal work. An even more successful garden. Make more time to share with kids and grandson.
PAST: I’d like to say I’m leaving behind self loathing – but only little pieces drop off – with the continued focus on myself, and refocus on family I hope I’ll have a lot more to leave behind next year
PRESENT: I realize that I do a job I didn’t choose and at times I am upset about that – but this year I am taking the accumulated skills from the past and re-focusing my eneregy to be a better leader and co-worker. After having a successful year in 2009 amidst the financial news and woes of the world – I have to take some credit for that and keep up my energy to have another great year!
FUTURE: relate better to family, carve out time for things that I’m not expected to do but just do for the love of it – set and reach some real challenges. Be present for family and friends, make a difference
Hey Terri!

hey jess-
whatever you decide is right for you. i think your job is to keep your side of the street clean, meaning that once you have honestly shared how her lack of response hurt your feelings etc then your job is done. it is not about being reasonable just about honoring your truth. we can not change other people but we can be honest, not about what “they” did just about how it effected us. always coming from a place and language of -this is what happened for me-she may have issues around you getting married etc. if you tell her her lack of response hurt your feelings and that she is important to you and you want her to be at your wedding etc than you must let the chips fall where they may and you will most likely feel ok doing that once you feel like you expressed yourself truthfully. hope this helped-good luck-keep me posted.
love love
daryl-
i love your list. yes leaving self loathing behind is a great intention. affirmations can really help. i tell my clients that FALLING MADLY AND DEEPLY IN LOVE with self is the first order of business for a healthy and happy life so yea let 2010 be the year of lovin’ you like it is your job!! ask other people why they love you and to list your top 5 best qualities (this really helps even if it seems like a weird thing to ask!)
love love
I am leaving negative feelings towards “friends” & family members that I have had a hard time shaking off. I also plan to leave worry about my husband’s illness. In 2010 I hope to have a new job and a healthy cancer free husband. I also plan to spend a little more me time everyday.
hey keri-
yes yes yes love your list. sometimes it helps to write a letter to the people you feel negative towards. just honor your experience and even if you never send the letter writing it will help move the feelings out of your body and make it easier to let it go. your affirmation in I AM SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR OUR PERFECT HEALTH. ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO US!!
love love love,
terri
Ok so this is late but here it goes:
Leaving behind: the need to do do do do and clean, clean, clean, clean every second that I am home. I am dedicating one or two rooms per day and not spending more than 1/2 hr cleaning. If it doesn’t get done… oh well. There is always next week.
I am keeping: The time I spend playing and talking with my daughter. I am going to do less house work and bills and crazy exercise and just ENJOY my little girl. The other day I dropped her off at her Karate lesson and was going to run the the Gym and do a mad dash 25 minutes on the treadmill and head back to get her. I drove about 2 miles and it hit me! “WHY? THIS IS CRAZY?” I turned around and went in to watch my baby girl punch and kick, and do jumping jacks. Her smile was all the confirmation I needed that I did the right thing.
iN 2010 I am creating space to just be. I am greatful that I am powerful, successful, prosperous, beautiful, desireable, that I am in control of myself and that I know what I want. I am manifesting health, wealth, and a deeper connection with my family and friends.
Love you Teri.
k-

I know it’s June, but it’s my birthday month and I’ll do it anyways …
Leaving behind – money anxiety, sleeping problems, flirting with my ex (that proved to be very crazy and it drained lot of my energy), worrying about illness, self loathing and guilt trips. Worry over things I can’t control. I LEAVE YOU ALL BEHIND!
I am keeping: my beautiful relationship with my daughter! My plans for new home and holidays this summer. Most importantly,making my decisions based on what makes me feel freer and happier, rather than how I think my ideal life should look!
Teri you are amazing, by no accident I found you this morning. Love Natalia
natalia-

love love love
