From My Tool Box to Yours

The new year has started and a lot of people are feeling fired up to take action in their New Years Resolutions but did you know only about 8% fulfill their resolutions at the end of the year and did you know that if you hit 50% of your goals your are considered successful at achieving them?

Here are a few tools for your tool box that can help you better achieve your new goals...

First set an intention for your year with one word. This word is your over all them for 2015 so that all your goals will fall under it.

Example: This year I have picked "Grace".
I am taking on lot of new projects in my career and personal life and I want to handle them all with grace while offering grace to myself and others.

Once you have created your intention/theme for the New Year it's time to start creating/writing your goals down.

Brain-storm ALL your ideas first with this question in mind... What would you do if you couldn't fail? Who would you be with? Where would you go? REMEMBER TO THINK BIG! How you are going to achieve them is not important. Only answer the questions above.

Think of your goals under these categories:
*Health (mind, body, spirit)
*Career
*Personal

After you have put it all down on paper start to choose the ones you can't live without and pick 2-4 per category. Sometimes committing to goals can feel intimidating and we can be scared to write them down but remember you can change them any time. Also, I like to put at the end of my final sheet, "This or something better..." That way it opens you up to possibilities you may have never imagined.

On your final sheet you will organize the goals you've chosen under each category and write them as if they have already happened with a "by when" at the end of the sentence.

Example: I have run the Honolulu Full Marathon. By Dec 6, 2015

By writing it this way you are programming yourself of the experience before it has happened. Feel free to decorate your paper any way you choose and post it somewhere you and everyone in your home where you and everyone else can see it.

Last but not least... Don't forget to share your goals with everyone!! Ask other people about their goals and get inspired! You never know who may hold the key to open the door to your biggest dream.

This is your life. Be creative and have fun!
