The countdown is over - 2009 is here, probably sprung on you quite quickly, or maybe it couldnt have come quicker! Now is the time everyone is thinking about New Years resolutions, or what they want to achieve. How do you create an awesome year to come? I have put together 6 points that will assist you in creating and achieving a year to remember.
1. Actually realise your achievements to date. So many people focus on writing goals, they forget to celebrate all that they have achieved. Go back and list all the things you have accomplished in 2008. Stop and give yourself a chance, write down at least 20 things you achieved. Nothing is too little, it could be a plant you kept alive all year; a friend you made; a promotion in your job; your child thanked you for your help with some homework; you bought a new car; ran that 5km route you had wanted to - make the list, be proud! Once the list is in front of you, make sure you acknowledge yourself and realise what an outstanding year you have had!
2. Congratulations on a job well done! We havent moved to this years goals yet, I want you to think about what things helped you achieve these goals, what support or ideas made you be successful. Think about obstacles that you overcame and write down how you did it. All these lessons will be handy for this years goals!
3. Now that you have realised that you can achieve whatever you put your mind to, it is a good idea to set out some goals for this year. Write down things that you would like to achieve this year, including one big goal that if you achieve it, it would make 2009 the best year yet! Just list them down, it can be as many as you like. Dont worry about how you are going to achieve these goals; this will come to you later. Once you have let your creative juices flow - go through and prioritise what are important to you. Pick a top 10 to work on.
a. When writing your goals it is very important to realise what are your goals and what are other people. Dont put goals in there that are goals that your parents want you to achieve, or that your partner wants you to achieve. You are the most important person to yourself, so make sure you treat yourself with that respect. You will also find that you will achieve our own goals quicker than goals that are from other people.
4. You have your own top 10 goals. Now is the time to describe them in detail. Write what it is like sitting in your new BMW 320d, what it smells like, what it feels like and what other people are doing around you. Focus on being present in the moment of achieving the goal and write as much detail as possible. Write this all in the present tense.
5. VERY IMPORTANT: this next point is where things really start happening, so do not skip this step! After each goal, write down why this goal is important to you. Write what it would mean if you never achieved it - you need to get to the reasons why so that you can consciously realise the importance of the goal.
6. Finally prioritise your top 10, giving them dates to achieve it by. Put this dated list somewhere where you can see it regularly. Come back to the goals weekly, monthly and even quarterly. Another final point to keep in mind - dont stress about the details of the how, in fact you dont need to focus on it. Focus your energy and mind on being the person who achieves the goals, and the rest will come to you through the law of attraction.
Follow these points, undertake them with passion and energy and you will make yourself a fantastic 2009! Enjoy your journey as much as, maybe even more than, actually achieving your goals. Just something to ponder throughout this year is You can turn your life into paradise but the only way you can do it is to make the inside of you a paradise. There is no other way. You are the cause, your life is the effect. Rhonda Burn. - 15255
