Oh my gosh this blog is late, late, late...but here it is. I wondered if I had procrastinated it and looking back it was more about choices. I could have sat down and taken time from my kids and family during an important season to get it done but that actually felt more stressful than simply waiting for a quiet moment, when holiday activities were not at their highest.
Sometimes things can seem more important and urgent than they really are and most things will present themselves as such. In saying that, we get to sift through the "things" in our life that want or require our attention and decide which is actually important, urgent or both and take action accordingly.
As a new year is quickly approaching, those New Year's resolutions will be pressing in. Gotta lose weight, gotta exercise, gotta do this, gotta do that, and I'm going to do it by making crazy, unrealistic goals because that's what everyone says I should do and have always done. New Year..same story.
If you want to make lasting changes I am going to suggest you take a hint from the seasons. Farm fields have been plowed and prepped for spring planting, trees have shed their leaves, animals are hibernating or doing less activity to save energy. This is a great pattern to follow. Take advantage of a "quieter" time of the year to prepare for growth. Decide what is urgent vs important.
Now is the time to decide what you would like to create different in the coming year. Take time to look at some action steps that will assist you in getting there, get a coach or trainer, get the tools to assist you, make some plans and then get moving as the months start to get a bit warmer and the seasons for growth come upon us. Rather than jumping in full force and going strong for a few weeks and then crashing, thus getting the same results as in years past and believing that is all you are capable of doing. Do Different!
Look back to what you did well this past year and all the positive growth you achieved. Look back at the things that didn't go so well or as planned and see what you learned from them. My wish for you is that you choose to see them as growth also. As you take those quiet moments to plan for 2014, do more if what worked and make adaptations to what didn't. Prepare to take the small steps that will lead to great success and remember to celebrate along the way.
I wish you happiness, health, love and joy in the coming year and much success in your adventures!

Until next time,
Go BE Great!
