Happy 2012--Time to Reflect on Ourselves
The new year is officially here. We have been spending time reflecting on our businesses for 2011, and how to do better in the new year. It's also a good time to take an evaluation on ourselves. It's the perfect time for us to ask ourselves, are we living in the present or the past?
If you are sitting or standing there, thinking, "my business isn't where it needs to be, my weight isn't where I want it to be or my relationship isn't how I want it to be", you're living in the past. It's time to start living in the present and taking action to turn each area of our lives that we would like improvement in.
Sometimes we find obtaining the goals that we set for ourselves feel out of reach and almost unobtainable. Feeling this way usually puts us in a state of inaction and stagnation. The most important thing to remember is that there is always something you can do to make progress towards your goals. To get into the present and find a way to make steps to gain that progress, I find it's helpful to take a walk, start moving around or meditate to get myself back in the present.
Use your talents in the present. Start thinking, "what can I do right now to make more money, to get in better shape, to have better relationship?" If you've failed before, we all have! Guard your thoughts. Instead of saying I am bad at ____ or I am unsuccessful at ___, instead say, "I used to have a challenge with ___, but now I am a person that takes action to obtain the goals I set out for myself."
Minding our minds and taking little bits of action are critical pieces to obtain all of the goals and success we set our for ourselves. Here's to wishing a VERY Happy New Year to everyone and may 2012 bring you even more success than you already have had and more growth and more steps to becoming the people we were all meant to be!
