It is amazing what one day can do to change your perspective.  As you take a moment and celebrate your plans for this new year some ideas that can make this year go so very well for you.

It is called the Wheel of Life.  A simple process to assure progress in every area of your life.  Like a wheel, your life will role easily based on steps that you take each day to assure progress.

Cut copy and paste the following list into your word processor.

Wheel of life
Spiritual
Physical
Mental
Family
Financial
Social
Career
Tithing your talent

Next to each idea write down what is one thing you would like to accomplish in 2010 in each area of your life?  This needs to be written in a way that is simple and doable.  Go ahead dream big, take a big leap in your thinking of what you want to see happen.  What if you knew you would succeed at what you really wanted?  Yes just write it down.

Take each goal and make a next step list of how you will go ahead and make it happen.  Goals need to be specific where intentions are just ideas. 

Hold your self accountable by figuring out how and who will help you stay focused.  Find that accountability partner to make sure you have someone that keeps you on track that will not hold you back.

Are you energized and getting back into things?  Or are you finding yourself dreading what will happen in your day.

The great news either way you are right.  If you do not like what is happening to you then make a choice now to make it different.

You say that is easier said then done.  I understand what you may be feeling, however you can turn it around with a question or thought.

Let’s start with the thought.  Write down what you are thinking right now.  Ask yourself does that thinking get you to where you want to go?  If not what new thought can you choose to move you in the direction you want to go?

Last night my home town football team, the Bengals lost 37-0 to the Gets.  Wow, what a blow to their thinking.  In just 6 days they have to play them again.  If you were their coach what suggestions would you give them to win next week?  My input to them would be, that was then, this is now.

In terms of a question to turn your thinking around try this,
what choice can I make  now that moves me into who and what you want to be?

Today I am working on plans for our Move Into Your Greatness seminar happening Jan. 11-15.   This is definitely a place you can be assured of success thinking and feeling.  Happy new thoughts.

Runners in marathons and long races will visualize walls at certain points in the race, and use them to break up the race.  They will concentrate on getting to the next wall, or point, instead of the finish line.  Once they get close to a wall, they use all there effort to break through the wall and continue on with the race.  This keeps the mind fresh which helps them to stay motivated.

Incorporate this technique into your daily life.  If you have a long day ahead of you, break up the day and set up walls that you need to break through.  You should set the walls close to the times where your most difficult tasks need to be completed.  Focus on breaking through the next wall, not the end of the day.  This will keep your mind fresh and keep you focused on the tasks at hand.  Once you break through a certain wall, set up a new wall to demolish.  Imagine yourself being in a marathon and not a sprint.  We don’t want to tire ourselves out within the first couple of hours, so we set up walls and short term completion goals for the day that we need to reach and ultimately pass.

In doing this, you will keep your mind fresh which in return will keep you motivated on breaking through to the next wall.

Remember, don’t picture the finish line, just picture that next wall that you need to knock down…

This can be a simple step that typically you would blow off as no big deal. The reality is any step can get momentum going. If you are one of those people who’s expectations are so big that you demand big results then go ahead and take that bigger step. Caution – don’t make it so big that you defeat yourself right out of the gate.

Are you the kind of person who has a hard time getting started, following through or finishing what you have started?

Momentum comes as you recognize what type of person you are and building a support system of action steps and people to help you do what is you are not best at.

If you know you are lazy and have a hard time getting started, make a game out of jump starting yourself into action by saying to yourself, I will take 10 minutes now to write down my game plan. These 10 minutes focus on the task at hand and watch what it does for your progress. Leaders who communicate effectively do so by overcoming what they do not like to do making it something they are willing to do to accomplish the task

You can do that for yourself because you have what it takes to move into your greatness. You say how? Well each time you are thinking I do not want to change your eating habits, ask yourself what one thing can you do?

For me over the holidays I have removed the crust from the back of my pie saving 100 calories.

Take the next step do it with grace and ease.
