7 Keys For Moving Exuberantly Into A
Successful 2006!

LOOKING BACK REFLECTIVELY on 2005:

Lessons learned from them?


2. What are your 5 greatest disappointments?
Lessons learned from them?


ASSESSING THE PRESENT

3. What are you tolerating in your life?

In other words, what are the little annoyances in all areas of your life that you haven't resolved?
It might be something as simple as a cluttered car or as major as a roof on your home needing replacement.
It could be a relationship with a friend or family member that is draining your energy.
Perhaps it is files that need to be organized.
Are there events or meetings that you would like to eliminate from your life? List tolerations from all areas of your life just to assess where you are right now.

4. Develop a Pleasure Menu!

Think of activities that you enjoy. Some might be ones you haven't done in a long time. Perhaps some you do occasionally and would really like to do more often.

Create categories for your menu: "Mindless", "Creative", "Physical", etc.
List all activities you can think of that would be pleasurable for you to do in free moments.
If you feel you don't have free moments, create small pockets or big chunks in your calendar for YOU.
Then choose an item from your list and look forward to that time for you. You'll go back to your work and responsibilities with renewed energy and exuberance.


LOOKING AHEAD

5. Set Intentions in different areas of your life: friends, family, business, self care, etc. When we set an intention, it means we're moving toward something. Goals, on the other hand, seem more static and set in stone. Having intentions leaves us open for an even greater outcome than we could imagine!
Visualize yourself meeting those intentions. Imagine the sights, sounds, smells, and touch of the experience you want to have. Feel your body moving in the way you would imagine in that situation.

6. Find support rather than working in a vacuum. You could get a success buddy, hire a coach, join an inspiring book study group such as Fearbusters, join a Master Mind group or look for an advocate who can introduce you to others who would be of service to you and your intentions.

7. Acknowledge your progress during the year on a daily basis. Notice what you are doing well. Avoid focusing on what is not complete or not done as well as you would have liked. And plan a CELEBRATION for the end of 2006 for an acknowledgement to all of your successes for the year!
