First is release. It is a time for a conscious release of any and all negativity that you may have such as negative emotions towards self, others, issues, circumstances, events, etc. This can be done at any time or on a New Moon. Ask for spiritual help for releasing any underlying negativity that you may not be consciously aware of.

   Second is cleanse. Once you have consciously chosen release it is time to cleanse.

Third step is change, achieving and receiving. This begins with thinking about what it is that you really want to change, achieve and receive in the new year. I recommend making a written list of your intentions, goals, affirmations etc. so you can refine it to be as specific as you can because you get what you ask for. Also remember that positive action on your part is required.

Fourth step is about abundance. See New Year Abundance.

The above methods can also be done throughout the year. Whether you choose to do them on a schedule (weekly, monthly, etc.) or when you are just feeling out of sorts from anything that may occur in your life, I recommend doing so.
