As I reflect on 2006, I am overwhelmed by my gratitude for all the events, people and experiences I have had.  Thank you!  I have spent some wonderful time over the holidays reflecting on what I loved in 2006, what I could do without in 2007, what I want more of and setting 5 distinct major goals for this year.  Through this reflection, I have learned that 2007 will be my year of "showing up" and living larger than I have ever lived or dreamed of living.  So, my theme for this year is "living bravely and authentically".   I look forward to telling you more about this and being part of your personal growth journey.

Greatness Tip!

 

Happy New Year!  Is this going to be your very best year yet?  Did you make New Year's resolutions? And how are they holding up?  Some say that by January 5th, most people have slipped on their resolutions and more often than not, if you are an "all or nothing" person, you have given up on your resolution completely!  Why do we do this to ourselves?  Why are we so hard on ourselves and why don't we persevere?

 

What people do not generally understand about goal setting and New Year's Resolutions is that there is a lot you must get clear about BEFORE you decide on your resolutions.  Firstly, what you resolve to do differently this year needs to be based on, and driven by, your core values.  Secondly, you must be clear about what the end results look like so you can measure them and know that you have achieved them.  Thirdly and most importantly, you need to be very aware of the "reason" you are resolving to change i.e. what happens if you don't stick to this?  How will your life change if you do, or don't do, what you've said?  Concentrating on the real reason will help with your adherence to the resolution.

 

For example, if one of your 2007 goals is to exercise more, what does this mean?  Applying the three above steps to this goal might look like this:

1)      Exercising more resonates with your core values of physical fitness and having more energy

2)      The end result looks like having more defined bicep/tricep muscles, a flat tummy and great energy every morning when you get out of bed by June 30, 2007.  To achieve this, you will run/walk 3 times a week for 20 minutes, strength train your upper body 2 times a week and do 10 minutes of abs 2 times a week.

3)      If you don't do this, you will have low energy, low self-confidence and that will impact all other areas of your life - relationships, work, parenting.  Life will be a drag!  When you achieve this, you will bring spark, life and happiness to all areas of your life and be proud of your accomplishments.  Wow!

 

Focus on the reasons for your resolution - it will keep you on track even when the activity is difficult to change at the beginning.  Let me know how it goes and if I can help!  Good luck!
