At the beginning of the year a number of realistic and unrealistic resolutions were laid out for the months ahead. Some of you may have gotten through them and some of you may have fallen off the wagon. I hope that over the course of this year the coaching provided in this blogspot came as some help or small assistance to you!
At this point you are now in a great place to look back and see what worked and what didn't work.
This is not to be an exercise in 'I should have' or 'I really need to do this next year...'. The reality is that you did what you did, to the best of your ability for that particular time in your life. Simple as that. You learn, you move on.
So what do we do in December? What if NONE of the resolutions came to be?? What if you are exactly in the same place as last year??? Nothing has changed??? If this is what you are thinking then STOP. Pause for a moment, and be grateful for the chance you now have to change things for the better.
If you have managed to get even part of your resolutions completed then 'Good for You!'...
The key message here is about celebrating and being thankful for what you have created in your life RIGHT NOW. I say this realizing that many people have lost their jobs and are facing a Christmas with little or no money.
I'm also saying this realizing that life is precious, so for the moment you are in RIGHT NOW, find one thing to be thankful for and celebrate in the fact that you are alive, at this very moment...and that you have the ability to learn, grow and move on.
2009 is a wonderful opportunity to set down a new course of action towards a new set of goals having the wonderful gift of hindsight! 2008 can provide you with some key insights into how you work best and what can side track you or take away your energy!You are in a better place to know what works for you and what doesn't!
I know it is the start of December but I truely wish everyone who visits this site a WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS and a HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
January 2009 will be the start of Life Coaching - PHASE 2 I reckon, so I'll be focusing on setting goals and achieving them now that I've had a year to experiment with what works and what doesn't!
