Write Your Personal Manifesto
Let's consider a different way of setting New Year's Resolutions: write your Personal Manifesto! This is your personal mission statement, a public declaration of your intent, opinions, policies or aims. And it derives from the Italian word "to manifest"--how cool is that??! You can draw this out on cardboard or use an online template.
I created my Manifesto with Fotor and using a free background image from Morguefile. I started with a key phrase, "I AM...," powerful words for setting intention and creating my reality, and built around them without over-thinking. I was amazed at the unfolding of my Manifesto as words found their right place on the poster and in relationship to other words and phrases.
Approach writing your statements by:
Play with fonts and colors. Fotor also enables special effects and framing. Don't censor yourself or hold back--have fun with it!
Once done, you can save your "posterized" Manifesto as a jpg, e-mail it to yourself and check back in a few months to see where you're at with your goals. Or post it to your Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter pages for more public accountability. Alternatively, send your Manifesto to a close friend or your coach for confidential accountability.
Manifest YOUR 2014!

Approach writing your statements by:
- Brainstorming words that hold meaning for you
- Stating your beliefs, values or vision
- Listing your pleasures or the things you know for sure (A la Oprah Winfrey)
- Imagining that you're giving a 30-second pitch: jot down what first comes to mind--fast!
