Almost everyone is familiar with the idea of making new year's resolutions. The new year is a perfect time to choose a goal you want to work on to improve your life. What if you could empower your resolutions to help improve your chances for success? There are several ways you can use rituals to help make sure your resolutions do not go unfulfilled.

Cleanse Your Energy For the New Year

Sometimes, we are unable to find success because we are still carrying around the burden of old, unwanted, or negative energy. It does not always necessarily have to be bad energy, even -- the energy of a situation that no longer benefits us can sometimes be enough to keep us stuck. Refreshing your energy and ridding yourself of energetic attachments is the first step to entering the new year ready to succeed.

To cleanse yourself, light a New Year's Candle in a safe place in your bathroom. Fill a bath tub with warm water, and add our Specially Prepared Fresh Bitter Herb Bath. Soak in the water, pouring it over your head to ensure that it covers every part of you. Envision the things you wish to clear away -- old energy, negative situations, unwanted emotions, or anything else holding you back. Allow your skin to air dry. Toss some of the used water over your left shoulder, toward the rising sun, and walk away without looking back. Light a charcoal disc in a fireproof container filled with sand, and burn some 3 Kings Incense or New Year's Incense in the heart of your home to cleanse it. Repeat as often as you need.

Unblocking Your Road

Sometimes, more than cleansing is needed. Sometimes, there are things standing in your way. In these situations, it is necessary to unblock your path to success to make sure your spiritual energy can go where it is needed. Sometimes, these roadblocks to happiness are the result of curses and jinxes placed by others. Most of the time, they are brought upon us by our own thoughts and worries. If you think you have a curse to remove or a situation to unblock, even if nobody has cursed you -- you do!

To ritually unblock your path, make sure you and your home are clear. Take a ritual bath using Specially Prepared Fresh Sweet Herb Bath. Thoroughly sweep and mop your floors from the back of your home toward the front, and hang a bunch of Fresh Ruda Plant above your front door. Anoint a malachite stone with a bit of Uncrossing Oil, and keep it in your pocket to clear your path and keep negative influences away.

Invite Success In the New Year

After getting rid of the things that make it harder to succeed, it is time to invite success into your life. This can be much harder than it seems -- sometimes, we do not feel worthy of success, or we worry about the added responsibility that comes with it. Prepare yourself for achieving your desires by expressing gratitude.

Many success rituals are small, everyday things. Maintain a positive attitude. Believe that your desires will be granted to you in a way that is in your best interest. Thank the universe every day for providing for you. Wear Success Perfume, or Success & Prosperity Cologne, to improve your overall luck.

When you are cleansed and unblocked, set up a small space with a Success Custom Big Al Candle and some Success Incense. Have a pen and piece of paper ready, and a comfortable place to sit. Light the incense and candle. As they burn, make a list of all of the things you have to be grateful for. Meditate on your gratitude for these things, as well as all of the other good things coming your way. Fold the paper, and place it beneath the candle holder. Repeat this ritual for seven days, meditating on all of the things you have to be grateful for every time. After seven days, bury the pieces of paper, and move on with faith that you will succeed.

The new year is the perfect time to get healthier, find a new job, learn a new language, or do any number of things to improve your life and well-being. Entering the new year spiritually cleansed, with an open road ahead and luck on your side, will greatly improve your odds of reaching your goals. Make sure you stick to your resolutions with simple cleansing, unblocking, and success rituals.
