Time to Focus

Every year we all make New Year resolutions, or promises to ourselves and break them immediately ;)

Well some of us do....

It is natural over the new year to think about the last year and what we want from the next. Energetically it is a great process.

I normally don't make NYR during the New Year period. I wrote my 2010 plans back in early December this year, then or start of February are good times.

Now if I had set up a goal to go to the gym 3 times a week I would have broken it instantly this year - I still can't leave the house for snow & ice!! I can hardly get in my car and drive to the gym.

So, as I advise all my clients, find a way that works for you. Things generally take 30 days to become a habit... so why not add a new piece to the jigsaw every month? Each month have a new addition to the list of things you commit to.

And don't be disappointed if you have the odd blip.

With all the snow and ice and being stuck in doors without seeing anyone, sitting in front of a film with chocolate for an odd night is understandable (well at least that is what I will tell myself when I do so later!!)

This year I am focusing on different things each month.

January is all about finishing 3 projects I have outstanding. They are my focus and No 1 goal each day.

February is going to be about my physical environment and exercise. Getting my house sorted and spring cleaned while I get my running shoes back on.

What is your main focus and goal this month?
If there is one thing, which if you did it would have the biggest impact on your life?
Got one?
Now think about how you would feel if you didn't accomplish it?
What might get in the way?
Is it realistic that you can get it done?
How will you feel when you achieve it?
What will people be saying to you?
What will you see which is different?

Just take 5 mins to think it through and connect with achieving it.

If your ready to commit to it... then go for it! Start 2010 off in the way which will impact you to do all the things you love this year :)

Happy New Year!

Well it is snowing... planning on building a snow cat to amuse my cats later.

All the cold, the lack of gas, the lack of transport, the lack of water (my mains went down today)... all makes us realise how lucky we are!

I popped into see a friend in hospital - and it is busy there!! - no one is visiting, no one can go home... lucky the doctors and nurses are there!

The old lady across the road from me is ok but there is no way she can leave her house... everyone is slipping over everywhere.

It really makes you think what it could be like if there was ever a big shift in the future... we are so reliant on fuel, the Internet and each other we don't normally notice it.

So lets all take care of each other in the big freeze! There is more snow to come yet.

Have fun & keep warm.
