Your vision for 2009
January is an excellent time to spend time thinking about what is next for you. It’s cold outside, start a fire or get yourself a warm cup of tea, stay in your pajamas and curl up with your journal or notebook and write.
Write your story for 2009. Write as if it was January 1, 2010 and you are reminiscing about your wonderful year. Write about all that went well and how you had the perfect year. Have fun with it and really think about your year in detail. Be specific; include all aspects of your life.
Think about all of what 2009 held for you.
After, look back on your writing and make a list. This is your master list, the list of 2009. List everything, list it all, and list more after that and then…just a little bit more. List as if you had 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 52 weeks of the year to do what you wanted.
Push yourself and think about all you could accomplish.
This is your inspiration; use it every time you need something to do. Use it to inspire yourself. Use it so that you don’t spend your year sitting around watching TV or surfing on the net.
Use it to help you think big and dream bigger!
If you include house related tasks make them about organizing or making your life easier. If you include your family it should be about spending time together, having fun, and improving communication.
Include yourself care, time for healthcare, time for growth and time for reflection.
Once you have your dream list, pick a few items off of it for each month of the year. These are task you commit to, that you will complete.
When you think about your list, your vision based on months and seasons you can be more realistic about what and when you can accomplish your goals. Everyone has a more productive season or series of months. Looking as what you want to accomplished based upon your natural rhythms lets you be more successful. Use your seasonal patterns for success!
January is a time for reflection and planning. Take your January to look back at all that was good in 2008 and all that will be fabulous in 2009.
2009 is now just raw space, wide open possibilities. Fill it with all of what is important and meaningful to you.
Happy New Year!

Positivity and happiness starts with one person.
It is a new year! I hope to see a lot of changes this year; the most important is a global shift from negativity to positivity.
Positivity and happiness starts with one person.
Be that one person. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in this world.”
Make a commitment in 2009 to be positive, to see yourself and your life from a strengths based perspective and move forward each day with determination and openness.
Start your day with positive thoughts; use your golden hour wisely. The first 60 minutes in the morning can set the tone for your whole day so take advantage of that. Avoid radio and TV, spend time reflecting, writing, listening to your favorite music or meditating. Look over your list for the day and think about how you want to spend your time. Have a nutritious breakfast that will give you the energy you need. When you get in your car turn on your favorite songs and sign along, listen to a book on audio.
At the end of your day write your gratitude’s in your journal.
Doing your gratitude journal as the last thing you do before you sleep instills positivity into your subconscious. Listing your gratitude’s daily will help you to remain positive and increase your levels of happiness. Write 3-5 things that made you grateful during your day. This journal can help in moments of difficulty because you can go back to it and remember all that is good and you can be thankful for in your life.
Approach each moment of your day with your personal strengths in mind, when a challenge or difficulty arises, change your perspective.
Stop yourself from reacting. Take a moment and think about how you can approach the challenge with a different paradigm. Use your strengths; always think about the positive you can bring to the challenge.
Learning your personal strengths, your signature strengths can change how you approach each moment of your life. Make it a point to start this year concentrating on what makes you the strongest. List your top five strengths and make them part of every day. If you have a problem listing your strengths ask your loved ones and they can help you.
If you still struggle email me and we can work together to list your top five.
Learn your strengths, post them everywhere, be able to recite them in the same way you can your name and birth date, Make them as much a part of who you are as your most important beliefs.
Lead with your strengths and work towards positive change!
