Before we know it the year will be over. How we think about what has happened this year, sets it up for next year. I didn’t achieve all of my goals. I didn’t lose the extra pounds that I wanted to or reach the financial targets that I had in mind. But does it really matter? I am happy and optimistic about next year.
My focus is on what I achieved. I finished my book. My relationships with my family are better than ever. My friendships have deepened. My coaching practice has taken a quantum leap. And I could go on. And even thought I didn’t hit those other goals I came close and I have momentum for the new year. I am grateful for my life and I am focusing on the good stuff.
I look forward to continuing the journey. As your year winds down, focus on the good stuff.
Quite often I ask my coaching clients to acknowledge themselves for three things in their life. For some it’s no big thing but for many others it is. So what about you. What’s #1? What do you really good about this year? And what’s #2 and #3? It’s a good practice to get into. You focus on what’s right rather than what’s wrong. Putting yourself in a different environment helps give you a different perspective.
As to different perspective I invite you to subscribe to my free monthly ezine, Letters on Life.
