This is Your Year

Man I love this time of year!

It feels so full of possibility... a clear canvas on which to create a masterpiece!

Have you planned out your year yet?

If not, I want you to give it some thought.

This is the perfect time to set out some long term goals for the year and some short term goals for the next few months and weeks.

There are many different approaches to goal setting but the main key is to make them as specific as possible - rather than just saying "I'd like to lose some weight" you want to specify, " by June 11 th 2009 I will weigh 135 pounds".

Once you've decided on your goals write them out in a book and then copy them onto Index cards so that you can look at them every morning when you first get up and every evening before you go to bed.

Now, here's the tricky part... once you've set the goal you need to believe it will happen. You need to truly believe that this goal will happen - in fact believe it's already happened and you just haven't got to the set date yet.

In my next blog I'll talk more about setting short term goals in order to reach your long term goals.

Cheers, to your health & happiness
