I dedicated the last few weeks of 2016 to relaxing and spending time with friends and family. As we lingered over dinner or sat by the fire, the topic of conversation invariably turned to plans for the New Year. I noticed that, at least among my circle there was a lot of focus on setting goals of a spiritual nature.

While it’s easy and familiar to plan on losing weight, exercising and maybe finding a better job or paying off some bills in the New Year, you might also want to add a “soul based” resolution to your list.

The following questions will help you to tap into your own inner knowing to identify your spiritual path for 2017.

Circle the top 5-7 statements below that resonate with you. Don’t overthink it – let your intuition guide you!

1. I feel happiest and most fulfilled when I’m helping and counseling others.
2. I sense there are big changes ahead for me in 2017 – but I’m not sure how they will manifest themselves.
3. I’m mourning the loss of a loved one, and my sadness is casting a shadow on everything in my life.
4. I long to be part of a community of people who I can connect with at a soul level.
5. I often feel stressed and anxious for no good reason.
6. I’m very aware of signs and coincidences that crop up in my life.

13. I often feel stuck, depressed, and unable to make decisions.
14. I find quiet time spent in nature to be so healing – I wish I had more of it!
