Create Your Best Year Yet

At the end of each year, and on their birthdays, many people take the time to reflect and look ahead. If you’re one of these people, or if you would like to start getting the benefits from a little self reflection, I have some great questions for you.

Looking for an exciting way to plan your year? This is the guide for you! Take a look at these questions to help you perform a complete life-checkup, discover what you want and how you’re progressing toward it. Would you like to feel more motivated, confident and balanced in your life? This book will help you create your best year yet, by establishing goals and direction.

Actually, I invite you to take a look at your life more than once a year. You’ll get a lot more out of your life if you’re more conscious about what you’re creating.

 

Looking at this past year:

1. What do I want to be acknowledged for?

2. What did I accomplish?

3. What did I want to accomplish that I did not accomplish? (Do I still want to do this?)

4. What were my biggest mistakes/disappointments?

5. What did I say I would do that I didn’t do? (Do I still want to do this?)

6. Who do I need to be in communication with?

7. What did I learn? What 3 lessons will make the most difference to you this year?

 

 

 

Changing patterns:

1. What roles do you play in your life (personal/professional)? Rate each role on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most important. What are your goals for each role?

2. What are your personal values? What is most important to you in your life? What drives you?

3. Where is your life out of balance? If you could put one problem behind you, once and for all, what would it be?

4. Which role is your major focus for next year? In what role do you want a breakthrough performance?

5. How do you limit yourself and how can you transform these actions?

6. What do you say to yourself to explain your failures? (These false beliefs are your limiting paradigm).

7. List your new paradigm which must be personal, positive, present tense, powerfully and simply stated, pointing to an exciting future.

8. Read your new paradigm out loud when you wake up and before going to sleep each day. Teach your subconscious that this is your paradigm.

 

The way that this works is that for at least a week or two you ask yourself the above questions. Write them down and do it in writing several different times.

This system will allow you to discover exactly what you want in life and then take action to make it happen. Each day you will be asked questions to help you clarify your goals and values, then at the end of each week or two weeks, write down the answers to all of these questions plus one final question: What do I want to accomplish and who do I want to be in the coming year?

By answering these questions with so much detail your brain begins to create a very specific future for yourself which can give you a lot of motivation and energy.
