There’s One day a year –
That’s all yours!
It’s your very own New Year’s Day . . .
Happy Birthday!!!!
Take these six easy steps to look back at where you’ve been –
And decide where you want to arrive – in the next year of your life . . .
Using the life areas listed below, think over the year since your last birthday -
Fun/Travel Family Finances Primary Relationship
Health Friends Career/Education Personal Growth
1) List at least 4 Wins, Successes, and Breakthroughs –
What was their effect on your life?
2) What are the 3 most valuable “life lessons” you learned and don’t want to forget?
Examples:
Reading/taking a class stimulates me
Sometimes its better to leave the dishes and play with the kids
I actually feel better when I exercise
Now for the year until your next birthday-
3) List up to six outcomes/dreams you want to achieve this year!
Be specific.
Example:
Instead of “be more financially secure” make it “I will save $5,000.”
4) List at least three steps you will take to achieve of each outcome.
Example:
Outcome – I’ll save $5,000.
I’ll record my spending for a month, then
Create a budget
I’ll commit to saving a certain amount every month
I’ll do a direct deposit from my paycheck to help me with this
5) Choose three daily practices to support your outcomes –
and help you live a balanced, happier life as you achieve them
Examples:
Inspirational reading; meditation and/or prayer; any creative activity;
gardening; straightening your bedroom up every morning; listening to music;
walking your dog, cat or llama.
6) Choose a name, theme or song that symbolizes Who you want to be / What you want to achieve during your next year – something you’ll enjoy hearing or seeing on your desk or screen saver – something that inspires you!
Example;
This year is my “Year of Living Well” and I’ve written outcomes connected with
living well – as a writer, as a woman, as a traveler, as a coach.
NOW – Have the best year of your life ever!!! AND – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
